Since I have released the music video of Oxygen Music, few viewers have asked me the question, “Why are you shooting the video in the hallway of the church and not in the sanctuary?”. I thought it was very interesting question and never thought I would receive such a question.
My honest answer to this question is after consulting with my videographer Ben, we have decided to shoot the video at the hallway because the lighting from the sun was the best in this location. But thinking more I thought unconsciously the hallway was good option for this video shoot because, the place of worship should be not only in the sanctuary but also in many different areas of our life. It could be our workplace, school, in the car, in the train, in the living room of our home, in the kitchen, in the bed room, or in the hallway. We can worship our God in many places and many situations.
David run from King Saul and he was almost captured by King Achish and escaped by pretending to be insane (I Samuel 21:13), he wrote below Psalm.
I will extol the Lord at all times; His praise will always be on my lips.
I will glory in the Lord; let the afflicted hear and rejoice.
Glorify the Lord with me; let us exalt His name together.
Psalm 34:1-3
This Psalm is very famous and wonderful, but the behind scene was not pleasant, and David was in the midst of trouble and worry.
Paul and Silas were captured and put in the jail with their feet tired, they sung the praise to God in the middle of night.
About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.
Acts 16:25
You might not be in the intense situation like David, Paul and Silas was, but we should also worship our God and invite His presence not in our sanctuary of our church but also in various place and situation of our life journey. Our God will be happy to come and fill His glory anywhere we worship and invite Him.
