Recently
I was sick and,
unfortunately, I had a lot of things planned for that week. The most important activity was a great worship and music training as I'm involved in a worship band. But because of my health, I couldn't go for sure! It was so frustrating, and confusing ! I kept asking myself "why would God not allow me to train to serve Him better and to worship Him more skillfully?" But guess what I felt God whispering to my heart? I don't need to be a professional musician or singer to worship Him the right way! John 4:23 says, "Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true Worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks." I just need to love Him and worship Him with all your heart! God wants me and He wants you to worship Him in Spirit and Truth! Now maybe you feel unqualified too. It might not be in music or worship, but in school, your job. Maybe it's for a ministry God has called you too. Maybe you feel pressure from others, your parents, or your teacher. Stop worrying and let the Creator and Caller prepare you the way He wants to! He will equip you for the tasks He's put you in charge of! Here's a quote I read recently: "God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the Called!" I hope you'll come to understand you don't need to be super -qualified to please our Heavenly father but that you can come just as you are with your heart open and honest before Him. Let's lean on God to prepare us for what is ahead of us.
