As many of you may know, I often say you do not want me to join the choir because I cannot carry a tune to save my life!  I really would love to be able to sing on key!  I hope no one ever puts a microphone in my car since I do sing very loudly in the car - especially since no one can hear it!

But worship is so much more than just music or singing.  It is a state of being - it is posturing ourselves for devotion to God.  It is giving glory to Him.  It is a way to respond to the blessings in our lives. 

God does not care if we sing on key or off!  Yes, we love to hear wonderful music and singing from the worship team - but the worship experience is about feeling the Presence of the Lord, and being in awe of all that He has done for us.  Worship is a time of joy! 

So sing out!  On key or off!  Raise your hands!  Even dance if you want!  But above all else - worship with glad and sincere hearts. 

Psalm 100

Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
    Worship the Lord with gladness;
    come before him with joyful songs.
Know that the Lord is God.
    It is he who made us, and we are his;
    we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving
    and his courts with praise;
    give thanks to him and praise his name.
For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
    his faithfulness continues through all generations.
