I came across this quote in book called "The Worship God is Seeking" by David Ruis. (a vineyard worship leader/artist/songwriter.) A great read about worship, justice and the Kingdom of God.
"The worship God is seeking relies completely on His initiative, knowing that the only true expression of worship is through the abandonment of all our agendas for His, as we trust in His sovereign power and unlimited grace. It is from this heart posture that true liturgy flows, that music and arts find their highest calling and that the light of a worshipping community shines as a beacon of hope to a suffering and search world."
What struck me was the call for the "abandonment of all our agendas for His." I think that surrender is the result of true, authentic worship of God.
What does this say to you? What does it mean to abandon our agendas for His? |
