Small bible study from Matt Maher

If you haven't checked out http://www.worshiptogether.com, you really should. They regularly give away sheet music. There's a lot of great resources for praise and worship leaders and music ministers. Enjoy!

How many times do we pray prayers that are pretty much self sustaining? Or prayers that are just about what we need in a given moment, as opposed to a prayer life infused with a kind of grace that spills out into everything we do; Isnt it a poverty when we fail to see the full realization of the gift of God’s grace working in our lives? To see that our worship of God is, in fact, His gift to us. It’s a worship that is meant to be all encompassing of the human experience; that when we love God with our hearts, minds, and souls, His Spirit alive in us overflows. As a result, it doesnt matter what situation we find ourselves in. Note the response of David in Psalm 23. “You prepare a table in the sight of my foes. You anoint my head with oil, and my cup overflows”. In the sight of our sinfulness, God prepares a place in us and anoints us. His cup overflows into us, and our cup, our heart overflows with His grace and mercy, spilling out into everything we do. Everything we are
