Worship Lifestyle - Who are You playing for?

In my days in the World, I went through a phase of loving Rush (secular rock band), and their musical epics, their musical stories. Besides being truly gifted musicians, they had a lot to say lyrically. In one of my former favorite songs, the lyrics are "All the world's indeed a stage and we are merely players." Who are you playing for?

This stage above happened to be the stage at the Israel worship concert several weeks ago, held at Life Center in Harrisburg, PA. It was only my second Christian concert, maybe third, if you include the two Christmas concerts I attended. It was an amazing night!

The idea of worship concerts is a strange concept to most in the world because the secular stage is all about glorification of the artist, of the musician and the persona that they play. However, worship glorifies God, and is all focused on HIM. The Israel concert did just that.

We lifted up the Name above All Names, and we praised the only One worthy. It was a glorious time in the presence, and I was so happy to be able to worship along side my sister, Darlene. We used to worship along side one another in the Nations of Praise Choir! We became such great friends and remain great friends to this day. Love You Darlene, but God loves you most! (couldn't resist)

The atmosphere in the room changed once we all began to lift our praise together. The air changed, the room became a temple, the praise became an offering, and it was a powerful night.

So I write to simply ask:
"Who are you playing for? Are you in the World? Are you OF the World? Is worship a lifestyle? Who or what do you worship?"
