and if you know me personally, then you are probably aware that i am a worship leader at my local church (salvos 3064... check it out, awesome church!)
i SO love to worship. I really do.
worshipping God is something i know I'm good at... I communicate with him in a very personal way and i can express myself unto him in a creative way.
getting up on stage sometimes makes me nervous though. because i know it's such a huge thing.
i know i'm not perfect, and i'm less than faithful. i sometimes feel like i don't deserve to come before the KING and sing in his presence.
i think i also get nervous sometimes because that I know God is in control of the meeting... and absolutely ANYTHING could happen. that whole "free fall" comes into play... when i lose control of the situation and all the glory goes to Him - but that's totally not a bad thing though! haha!
All the same, I love worshipping God.
Just wanted to share with you a Psalm that really stood out to me when i first gave my heart back to Jesus last year... it continues to ring true to me no matter the circumstance...
(I won't type out the whole Psalm since it's a bit longer... but please have a read of the whole thing when you get hold of a Bible.)
Psalm 40
"I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit; out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God!"
and then in verse 16...
"But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you;
may those who love your salvation always say, "The Lord be exalted!"
Peace be with you x
