Anybody love compliments?
I’m kind of obsessed.
Most of the time I would rather serve in front of people than behind the scenes because of the attention.
When I wake up on Monday morning to ready my Bible, there’s no crowd poised to cheer.
No one is waiting to praise me for the man of God that I am. No fanfare, no hi fives, no thank you cards.
Little by little, I can shortcut my time in the secret place for the pull of the public eye.
But according to Scripture, God isn’t into what is seen.
He’s more concerned with who we are behind closed doors – doing good…quietly.
He’s more concerned with our inner man – who are as people rather than our gifts, talents, and what we achieve.
What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul? Not much. Success in God’s eyes is much more robust, hidden, real.
Have you ever wanted to sit down with a renowned musician/producer and pick their brain about what it takes to be a pro?
Sunday morning has its share of busyness and distraction. 
The more we make worship ministry about us, the further we get from God’s heart.
You know what’s difficult for me? Finishing songs.
