How do we be silent in worship? How do we open up ourselves to listen to what God has to say? I play the piano and sometimes a lot of the songs we play just need simple chords. Just one chord per bar. I thought that was for beginners. Pfft, I can play melodies and little scales. No, no, just one chord per bar. Do you know how hard that is? It's like telling a kid to stay still in a candy store. This is my silence time, but it has taken me awhile to take advantage of it.
My life outside outside of church is just the same. I'm always on the go, always busy. There is no down time with me. Except now...sort of. Most times, rest comes my way when I get sick. The question is, if my life is so busy and full of activities, what makes me so sure I'll hear God when He's calling? Life does not have call waiting. Your landline has to be completely free for Him to call in. Isn't that worth it when you think of it that way? God is way better than that cute boy you waited to call you to go out with him.
Whether or not you want to hear what He has to say is a different blog post altogether.
To calm your busy spirit/soul, spend 15 minutes a day in silence. It will obviously slow you down and keep you more balanced, but also make it easier for God to access your heart. Of course saying this is like a zillion times easier than doing it.
It's our (worship team) job to help people. We musically prophesy. We open up and warm people's hearts for the Holy Spirit to come and mold. No pressure haha.
