It is not okay for me to be singing and proclaiming truth in Jesus' name and not bringing those words to life.

I think about this topic a lot.

About the fact that I am inadequate to be the one to lead people in worship.

I haven't totally become okay with it. I don't feel like I'm the one for the job.

Sometimes I feel like Moses when he said to the Lord "Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?”.

Who am I that I should be the worship leader.

Later Moses says,“Oh, my Lord, I am not eloquent, either in the past or since you have spoken to your servant, but I am slow of speech and of tongue.”Then the Lord said to him, “Who has made man’s mouth? Who makes him mute, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Is it not I, the Lord?Now therefore go, and I will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall speak.”

But God I'm a background type person. I don't do well speaking.---

But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 2 Corinthians 12:9

It is my honor to be leading people in worship to the one true God! The moment I take my eyes off of him though is when I start sinking. He told me in my weakness he would be strong so I have absolutely nothing to worry about. My job is to obey.

Matt Redman recently posted, Unstoppable worshippers are bold evangelists, lifting up the name of Jesus everywhere they get a chance. Their offerings of worship are just as vibrant outside the walls of the church as they are inside. —from the book, The Unquenchable Worshipper

I can honestly say with sadness that I'm not living out my faith boldly. I keep to myself when I should be reaching out. We are the body of Christ. Jesus gives us a clear picture of the life we should be living. Lord help me not to hold back, but fully and completely live for you! I don't want worship to become mundane. I want it to be true.
