One of my biggest prayers and desires is that I would be a far greater worship leader in my own home than I am in my church.
I am so thankful that God has counted me faithful at this point in my life, appointing me to have some leadership within a church and a platform for pointing people to Jesus. I am even more humbled that God would entrust me with 3 children and a beautiful, God-fearing wife.
As a Father, and a husband, my greatest calling and role in this life is that I would be a worship leader within my own household, to my own little church.
My dad was a steel-mill worker. Still is. But far more than that, he was a worship leader within our own house. He wasn't perfect, but he never claimed to be. And he always pointed our family to the Father who is perfect in all of His ways.
Today in church, we invited Dads and husbands and men to join us in leading worship on the platform at my church. More than a fun service element, my prayer is that these men would hold the conviction that they have been entrusted as the worship leaders of their homes. That their hearts desires would be to point their families to Jesus. That dad's would lead children to become the worshipers that God is seeking.
What a blessing God gives us in family. Husbands to wives, Fathers to children, siblings, sons and daughters. May our song go forth to the ends of the earth that Jesus is Lord, and he alone is worthy of praise!
