In the article, "Get off the Platform," the writer Dan Wilt explains how we should lead worship. He starts by saying that almost all worship leaders have the wrong kind of motives deep in their heart. Even those who are devout followers of Christ have issues with their motives. It's easy to get caught up in trying to be the best singer on the team, or trying to be the best instrumentalist. But that isn't why we were called to lead worship. Dan says that we need to get off this "Platform." He then goes on to explain how we should be okay with serving silently. He says that it is more valuble to be humble and silent about the gifts and roles that God has given us.
I really liked this article because I found it really relatable. What really hit me was when Dan Wilt said that even when it feels like you are not being noticed or recognized, God notices. He recognizes all your accomplishments and all that you are doing to serve Him. And in the end, that is what is really important. It isn't about trying to make yourself the best of the best. It isn't about being the center of attention. It's about pointing the attention to God and leaving all the glory for Him. I think this is a really valuble lesson for all of us.
Like the response Roshni. God does recognizes our accomplishments. We don't need to prove them to anyone else. He knows when we praise him and he appreciates us for it.
