It was a sunday morning, in the house of God, but on this day, the choir was at their worst, singing dull songs and sometimes even going off beat and off key. But when I looked to my left, lo and behold I saw Elvis dancing with all his strength. After the service, I walked up to my friend to told him how to choir really messed up, he also gave his observation of how the choir messed up, then I asked him, how come you were dancing so vigorously even with the knowledge that they were singing nonsense, he looked with surprise not knowing how to answer the question, all he said was, I just keep dancing regardless of whether I'm enjoying the music or not.
I was amazed at his reply, my friend Elvis did not need to enjoy the music before deciding to dance or not. When it comes to praises and worship, most of the time we focus on the music instead of God. So most of the time when we think we really praised and worshiped God, the truth is our hearts did not go beyond the music. What of when the music goes off, where does your heart go.
Looking at the bigger picture, we tend to serve and praise God and give testimonies, when things are going the way we want, but when things don't go the way we want we start asking God questions, like why did he allow it happen? Where is He? Does He really exist?
God has a reason for every situation, but even despite that, it is our duty to worship God, it is what we were created to do, whether or not things are going the way we want. Truth is, it is in those times where it feels like God is far away that the real us is revealed and not when its all rosy. Even Jesus was there, He had to cry out '...why has Thou forsaken me?' But He still carried with the plan God had put in place.
The real you is revealed when the music goes off. The question is, 'who is the real you?'
