Singing is one of the most beautiful ways God gives us to express ourselves. We can sing of sorrow, joy, pain, delight, healing, longing, any emotion actually.
As I mentioned in a previous post, I have been singing since I was a small child. We used to put on shows to raise money for charity. Then choruses and choirs throughout my schooling and church.
This year I finally was obedient to God's call and joined my church's worship team. It had been years since I was in front of a microphone and I was afraid. However, I know that obedience brings revelation and blessings so, after fighting God for years on this issue, there I stood there, knees knocking. It took a few Sundays but now it is comfortable and fun.
What has God been calling you to do that you have stubbornly be resisting?
Funny you should mention singing! I am now more comfortable with soloing, but before I started, I would have told you I would NEVER have done it! When I was asked by the pastor to sing though, it seemed that I could not refuse to use whatever God put on his heart to ask me to do in His service. I said I would and proceeded to pray for the right spirit. I sang, though I was shaking and couldn't look at anyone. Each time before I sing, I pray earnestly that God will use me and take the "me" out of it, and I am always (though I shouldn't be) amazed at what He does while I am singing.
