For the past few days, before I started with this blog, I'm wondering what could be a good article to start with. What could be that one blog that a music ministry member should know before moving on to his/her mission?
Tonight, I just came from the SFC band rehearsal preparing for the upcoming MMC at Baguio. Despite working from 8 am to 7pm, attending the practice is far from being tiring. Why? Simply beause it's not just a simple band rehearsal... It is a worship experience.
Worship experience???
Worship does not stop when your sticks stop drumming, or your fingers cease plucking the strings nor your voicebox stop vibrating. It is a continuous experience of God on the things we are doing.
With the rehearsal, I found myself transported to that place where all of us channelled our love for God into the beautiful sound that each of our instrument produces...
making us feel his presence in a tangible way...
replenishing our worn out bodies from the tiring day...
translating what our heart feels to what God wants to say...
So what's the point?
In order for us to be effective in our ministry, it's our love for God that should be our primary reason in serving, because if our heart is in tune with Him, we'll be able to lead His people effortlessly.
