Upward, Inward, Outward: Click on the Devotion's Title Above! This will link you to a short video from the Youth Choir Camp I took our Middle Schoolers to and the evangelist, Derwin Gray, taught us this concept: Upward, Inward, Outward!
There's not too much I can add here. This is where the rubber is starting to meet the road, where this devotion goes from casual to convicting and compelling.
I'm eager to get into upward! But I confess, too often I do find myself trying to keep worship one direction, upward. This is the first clue that the very definition of my worship is off, right? As we read in our text, our outward relations are a outflow of our worship to God. ouch for sure! When I'm crossed, disagreed with, challenged or questioned, what's my reaction like? Is it flesh that conflict coincides with or is it a Spirit-filled Worshipper? Well, I've confessed! Now it's someone Else's turn!
