May I Help You Find Your Seat, Sir?

Have you ever been to a play or musical? What do you remember about it? You know, that certain something that just seemed to stick with you long after you'd left the theatre and headed home. A particular character? A moving scene? Maybe a song or an actor's singing ability? Maybe even a set or special effect? What about the usher? Yeah, that guy. Didn't you notice how he so gracefully held the programs? Weren't you astonished by the way he held his flashlight while checking the location of your seats? Weren't you stunned by his fashionable coat and tie? No? Why not? The answer is obvious. The program had nothing to do with the usher. It wasn't about him, by him, or for him. He was only there to help you find your seat. As worship leaders we are ushers. It's not about us, by us, or for us. It's about God. Let's continually seek to help others find their place around the throne of God.
