Let Our Worship Leaders Lead Us!

Like They Did In Psalm 47…

Scripture

Psalm 47

¹ Everyone, clap your hands.
   Shout with joy to God!
² The LORD Most High is awesome.
   He is the great King over all the earth.
³ He helped us defeat other nations.
   He put those people under our control.
⁴ He chose our land for us.
   He chose that wonderful land for Jacob, the one he loved.
            Selah
 ⁵ The LORD God goes up to his throne
   at the sound of the trumpet and horn.
⁶ Sing praises to God, sing praises!
   Sing praises to our King, sing praises!
⁷ God is the King of the whole world.
   Sing songs of praise!
⁸ God sits on his holy throne;
   he rules all the nations.
⁹ The leaders of the nations have come together
   with the people of the God of Abraham.
All the rulers of the world belong to God.
   He is over them all! 

Observation

Have you ever heard someone negatively say, “I don’t like it when our worship leader tells everyone to clap, or I don’t like it when our worship leader tells everybody to raise up their hands to the Lord.” 

I wondered if they had the same kind of grumblers when the Korah family told all the Israelites to clap and shout! Wow … not just clap, but they were told to clap and shout!

We are a strange people aren’t we! Some of us tend to look for things to complain about. 

Here is one thing that you should never forget and that one thing is this, “It is perfectly OK when our worship leaders tell us to do something as a congregation.” 

If it was OK for those who first heard and sang Psalm 47 then it should be perfectly OK for us too. It is the Word of God!

Application

I will encourage our praise team to lead us with all their hearts. How about you?  

Prayer

Heavenly Father, it is so easy to go negative and be critical. Help me to be supportive of all of our leaders at our church. I pray for them today. I pray that you use them in a mighty way to help us grow as a church. I pray for Pastor Bruce today. I pray that You speak through him and I pray that people would be saved because of the message they hear. 

I pray that Feed The City would go well today. Use our people to touch the city! You are a Mighty God. You love for us to worship You.   

Everyone, clap your hands Shout with joy to God!  Sing praises to God, sing praises! Sing praises to our King, sing praises! God is the King of the whole world. .Sing songs of praise!
