Personal Challenge to Lead Worshipers

I have been hearing form the Holy Spirit for some time now about how we "lead" worship.  It's hard to listen to the Spirit sometimes.. Especially if it has something to do with me.. LOL  All kidding aside..

Most of us LW's have a crutch.  My crutch you ask?  (insert the loud deep voice of the Monster Truck Rally "SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY!!!") THE DREADED MUSIC STAND!!!!!!!!

Oh how I have learned to lean on that crutch for years.  Lately I have found that it gets in the way of leading. Instead of the Spirit leading its the iPad or Music Sheets that beckon me to pay attention to them instead.

The times I really notice this is when I am doing a set list (rare) of songs that I know by heart...  It is within those times I notice the Holy Spirit is there and VERY real.

Personally, I think that it all comes down to each of us being aware of the Holy Spirit, and not becoming familiar with the presence of God, not becoming used to how things are done, but being ready for the miraculous at every moment.

So, in the coming weeks I will begin to work at the "Set List" the Lord gives me and prepare before our rehearsals.  I want to be intimately aware of the words being sung and played.  The only thing I want to have as my distraction up there will be the Bible.

Until next time!  Make it a great day!
