Today's the day I live for one thing, to give you praise...in everything we do the praise goes out to you. How many times do we sing a song and we don't consider the words that we are singing?

Being a worship leader I pick a lot of set lists. During our camp I had to come up with four days of worship. The most amazing thing was that none of our set lists were long enough! We'd put together a seven song list which translates to about an hour of worship and we'd get to the last song and the kids wanted to continue. The first day we ended up going back to the notebook and choosing extra songs. The songs weren't the thing. They were the catalyst to entering into the presence of the Lord.

What is it that the kids experienced that caused them to rise up and worship like that? I believe that it was coupled with the fact that they experienced the Holy Spirit. That experience caused a mini revival to break out. At first there were many that had a hard time participating because there was a lot of baggage that they brought to camp. Once they started dealing with those things, they were able to enter in. They felt the freedom of forgiveness and the life changing power of being in God's presence.

How can we tap that power in our everyday life!? Does that mean we quit our jobs and we go to the church and worship 24/7 for the rest of our lives? What we need to do is have the revelation that we need God. We need Him and we need to understand that we have been created to worship and praise him. "In everything we do, the praise goes out to You." The key is that in all things we acknowledge God. Acknowledge Him and not just to yourself but to others. I had a friend named Hap Gregg who was a fantastic soccer player. He became a Christian and wrapped his brain around the fact that in all things we worship Him and praise Him. Every time he scored a goal in soccer, which was quite a lot because he was an amazing player, he would yell at the top of his lungs, "Thank You Jesus!!!" A lot of us were embarrassed by his outbursts, but he caught the idea that in all things we worship and praise Him. For Hap he didn't have to go into a closet to be in God's presence. He lived a life that remained in His presence. In everything we do, the Praise goes out to you!
