Misty Edwards - Always on His mind

Hehe... I found a home-movie shot at one of Misty's worship concerts on YouTube.
Well we have DSL! If you're one of my podcast subscribers, you will have seen I have been catching up. Wireless is very handy when you're traveling, but for long distances, or reliability, it just sucks. So I am now able to use Skype again. A relief being that my last 2 cell phone bills were well over $100 each.
I am just having a really good week. God is doing some encouraging things in my life right now. The conference last week was really a much-needed revitalizer, even though I didn't realize I needed one. It's funny though how full-frontal assault from the enemy tries to come at a time like this, and it has. Worship though, is spiritual warfare. Fallen angels don't like to be reminded of what they will never get to experience ever again, true worship, and they flee from the sight of it. There's an old song from Petra (ok, all Petra songs are old now) that has the lyric, "get on your knees and fight like a man". It's strange though, that as I walk through this life with my Father, I learn that some of the catch-phrases we use all the time in the Christian faith, are actually powerful truths, and they need to be redeemed from the curse of cliche. Hmm... I can see myself writing pages about this, so I will stop myself now.
I just find it sad that most people never worship God with the intensity that some do. When I look around the average Church gathering and see 90%+ of the guys just standing there waiting for the music to end so they sit down, it really makes me sad. But watch out if that same young man's favorite football team is playing that day. The enthusiasm to get home as fast as possible is hardly paralleled by anything else in his life. The fear of man and the love of the world. It's so strong isn't it. I just love to worship. It's invigorating. It's not emotionalism, it really is in the capacity of the creature to worship the Creator, and in a way that is beyond anything else. God has made us to worship, and that is why if the young man does not worship His rightful God, he will simply worship another god altogether. He will though, worship, something.
Questions: Is God the sole (soul?) focus of your worship? If not, what is?
