This Sunday approaching next is Palm Sunday, I was asked by a good Pastor friend of mine if I would visit his church as a guest and sing a special! Now, this is my passion, but I was scared, I instantly wanted to think of anyway of getting out of it, but that is not of God, that is not His plan or will for me. He gave me my passion to serve and glorify Him so why the fear? Why the timidness? It's not like this is my first rodeo, I've sang in front of hundreds of people before.
It's because I am not who I used to be, I am new, I am refreshed, I am revived so in a way, it is my first time! It's my first time singing as the new ME! It is Satan trying to make me feel weary, broken, incapable, not good enough, but I AM good enough in my heavenly Father's eyes. I won't be singing to the crowd, I'm only singing to an audience of ONE, just one, just God. He is my audience.
So, I'm moving forward, I'm doing it. I don't have the song choice picked, but I know He will provide the one that I am to minister with. So far, I have Kari Jobe's, "When I Speak Your Name" or Selah's "Unreedeemed." Thoughts on the two? I'm praying over both to see which one needs to heard that day.
A worship leader has a just as an important job as the pastor; just as a pastor brings forth the Word of Christ to teach and encourage and uplift, the worship leader helps bridge the intimacy between Christ and the body. It's a one on one intimacy, singing in unity, glorifying through our praise how much we love God! We sing to the heavens and uplift Him! Can you imagine the voices in heaven? That loud, booming, beautiful 24/7 worship, how amazing that choir must be! Someday, I'll be a part of that choir, we all will be if we choose to live for Jesus today!
