Leading worship when you aren't feeling well.
01-03-2007, 06:14 PM
I have had the same experience as Flaglady many times, where I've been in a position of needing to follow through and lead worship despite that I feel ill and can hardly sing (or dance/banners).... yet am amazed that the Lord enables me to 'do enough'.
I've also had to accept these times as a permissible humbling.
It is humiliating to sing in front of people knowing that it is less than your best, (and I'm talking about singing and keeping tune; but knowing you sound not-so-great)
It is very freeing, though, too.
It reinforces the TRUTH that we are simply the vessels that the Spirit flows through... it is not up to us to CAUSE Him to DO anything... and His ability and grace to work in spite of our limitations gives us such FREEDOM!
We obey, we trust, we recognize our weakness and truly rejoice in it as He pours out and comes like a flood ...
We get out of the way.
He is Glorified!
Of course this should happen when we are at the top of our game, too, so to speak.
But somehow it is more apparent when we are weak.
This also includes feeling emotionally or spiritually unwell/ or weak, doesn't it.
Bless the LORD oh my soul!!! His love endures forever!
