worshippers - the front lines of the battle
04-30-2006, 06:43 PM
We had more relevant discussion about this business this weekend. Had a retreat where most of the movement and musical worship teams attended and were greatly blessed.
We talked and prayed alot about warring the warfare (Hebrew for what the Levites were doing while they were involved in service and movement of the Mosaic tabernacle. They were not involved in extraordinary activity, physically or spiritually. They were doing their jobs.
Think about the warfare that a candle does. It dispels the darkness. It does not have to shout or jump up and down. It simply has to be in order to accomplish its warfare! And then someone talked about an arrow being concerned about winds and obstacles when someone piped up that it was not the arrow's concern. The arrow responds to those things, yes, but the archer selects the arrow for the job, decides on just how much thrust should be applied (stronger bow, weaker bowstring tension, full pull, not quite full pull, etc.), and finally, the archer takes into account any winds or weather related stuff as s/he aims and fires. The arrow, like the candle, simply does its job. Nothing special, they both are simply about being.
Profound, huh?
