The other day Abhishek was singing a worship song, he usually does preaching, singing sessions at home. The song was "Blessed be the name of the Lord" (not the slow one, the other one with name of the Lord being a strong tower). I never watch him closely as he would stop it altogether being shy, so I just went about the housework but was listening intently. And then I stopped, did I hear it right? what was he singing? He sang, "....blessed be the name of the Lord, almost high!!" in place of "Most high". I gently corrected him and continued cleaning up. Then it struck me as curious that he sang those lines. How often do we sing with all those right expressions (lifted hands, eyes closed, emotionally choked voice, swaying et al) "You are God most high" and yet in our actions, thoughts and words, it is "you are God almost high"!! I have always believed that worship is something beyond wonderful songs, music and beautiful words, it lies in our obedience, though I confess I have been so often disobedient myself.
Sometimes God uses a child to teach us a lesson or two. Lets keep our eyes and ears open :)
