As I sit in my office this afternoon I am looking through scripture asking God to give me a word that I can share with my teams tonight. One of things that artistic people daily struggle with is pride. We are taught to practice and be the best. I am not ashamed to admit that I feel that my calling involves me aiming to be the best worship leader in the world. I want everything that Fellowship puts out on the stage to be excellent because I know that excellence inspires people and honors God.
Check these verses out in Matthew 18
1 About that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?”
2 Jesus called a little child to him and put the child among them. 3 Then he said, “I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven. 4 So anyone who becomes as humble as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Humility! That is the word God has for me today and for my teams. God desires complete humility from us. How does living a life of humility compare with the life you now live? Are you serving others? Jesus did? He is the greatest and yet knelt down and washed the feet of his own disciples.
I pray that we never get too big for our britches! God help us be humble servants!
