I remember one of my favorite things to do when a regular customer came into our Starbucks and I was on the bar (the one making drinks). There’d be a line and I was making other drinks, but I’d hurry myself and make the drink just like I knew the customer would order it.
By the time he got to the register to order it, I’d hand it to him.
BAM!
I loved serving like that!
It’s been over a decade since I worked there, but I still remember how it felt. And I know he was very pleased to be served like that.
And while pleasing people is a trap, pleasing the LORD is the very essence of worship.
I was reading Psalm 123, and was struck hard by a phrase at the end of verse two. It read:
We keep looking to the LORD our God for His mercy, just as servants keep their eyes on their master, as a slave girl watches her mistress for the slightest signal.
What a heart posture!
Imagine if we’d do that more as worship leaders and team members! I mean if pleasing the LORD is our goal in worship, how could we be more attentive to the little ways that He communicates.
What if someone standing with their arms crossed, not singing, is a signal to extend love and pray for that person as you sing.
What if your phone not working one weekday morning was a signal to just be quiet and listen to the LORD, Who may be wanting to give you direction for Sunday.
What is the congregation standing expectantly at the end of a song is a signal to invite them to sing a new song to the LORD?
What if your 18-month old’s fussiness is a signal to connect with him, showing him the heart of the Father?
I don’t know what it is for you. But let’s be attentive to the LORD’s "slightest signal."
