"...but of Love, of Joy and of a Sound Mind."

Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen. Jude 24-25

Leading Worship this weekend

It's that kind of week again of serious preperation. To find time to set apart, to be alone and just be still before the Lord. Time to pray for wisdom and strength to do my best as I lead others to worship God. Since rejoining Camy, I realised that during rehearsals I become more subdued, less energetic. This is because I didn't want my abilities to"run the show". It's a conscience attempt to put the focus on worshipping God and not a good "performance". I am really afraid to steal the glory from God whether intentionally or not. I don't want to short-change God for a show of no eternal value, but pointint others to the Lord is of great eternal value.

This doesn't mean I will not jump to praise and worship the Lord. If my actions and word let others see the passion in my soul; to set an example for others to worship God with everything they've got; if everything I do draw them closer to Christ, I have met my objective. Leading worship or playing in the band seems like a glamourous ministry to be in, but not many people counted the cost of really serving in the ministry. If they only know what serving God entails, many people would have left the ministry. But thank God for mentors and pastors who are willing to guide the younger ones. I believe that in the midst of training and serving, there is an opportunity for personal growth.

I hope that my short spell back in the ministry have so far helped, if not I'd have considered it a wasted venture. So far so good, time to continue to trust the Lord as I serve Him with all that I've got.
