Sometimes it’s easy for me to get caught up in tone, making cool noises and having cool gear. I know I’m not alone in this and chances are that if you regularly read my blog as a resource for guitar tone and gear, you probably struggle with it too. It’s an easy thing to do and, while it’s very important, it’s not the most important thing.

When we’re leading others in worship, that is the most important thing. Why is it that we can spend hours looking up people’s gear and new pedals online, but don’t have any time to sit down and get in the Word or talk to God? Even as important as practicing is, we can play for hours without even acknowledging who gave us our gifts and without taking time to seek Him.

I’m guilty of this as well, but it shouldn’t be so. We’ve got to keep this in mind. Nothing is as important as our relationship with God and truly worshiping ourselves when we’re playing and taking part in leading worship. This isn’t anything deep. We’ve all heard it before. So why is it that we’re not striving for any change?

I encourage you to make sure you spend time getting the in the Word and talking to the Lord before you hit up my blog or any other site or plug in to play.
