Psalm 16.11 "In the Lord's presence is fullness of joy." It's True!  I have finally found a way to live and to use the talents and gifts which the Lord has entrusted me with.  That wonderful place is in the presence of the Lord!  Thank you Father for your glorious presence in my life.  Thank you for using my voice as an instrument of worship.  Psalm 100:2  "Serve the Lord with gladness!  Come before His presence with singing!  And thank you for using my guitar as an instrument of worship, Isa 38:20  "The Lord was ready to save me; therefore I will sing my songs to the stringed instruments all the days of my life in the house of the Lord."  Psalm 103:1 "Bless affectionately, gratefully praise the Lord, O my soul; and all that is deepest within me, bless His holy name".  It is such a privilege to be able to stand and worship in the presence of the Lord.  Bringing glory and honor to Him.  And bringing joy to His heart.  1Chron.16:27 "Honor and majesty are found in His presence; strength and joy are found in His sanctuary."

 

His ever increasing presence in my life is His gift in return.  Psalm 103:11 For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great are His mercy and loving-kindness toward those who reverently and worshipfully fear Him.

As a Worshiper I find it to be a grave responsibility to keep this worship pleasing to the Father, I know that I am to seek our Lord's pleasure not the pleasures and lusts of the flesh.  1Cor.1:29 "So that no mortal man should have pretense for gloring and boast in the presence of God."  "So now, I sing and play my instruments under the spot lights of the stage.  He has set, and entrusted to me to bring Glory to His Son Jesus Christ.  In His presence.  Amen!
