Okay, I just thought of this today at church. The praise team had just finished doing an excellent song for the offering, a song which really (at least for me) focused me on God and what he had done for me on the cross. More specifically, it had me thinking about how incredible God is and how worthy of our praise he is.
The thing which struck out to me was our Pastor's response. It was only a short statement, a few sentences. But it struck me as the immediate response of one who was passionately focused on Christ, on God. He was tuned in and had responded perfectly, not too much (over the top), but he had used the moment to allow God's glory to shine.
The issue is, can I cultivate a heart which can instantly respond to the glory of God - appropriately? With the right amount of humility, the perfect dose of passion mixed with pursuit, but all to his glory. That's the key, for God to be glorified with my response. I know I can, but I fear I am not. If I am not, there is where I must go.
