Normal People

Sometimes people find themselves under the umbrella of the fact that they might be cooler than “normal” people.  It happens a lot to successful people.  It happens a lot to beautiful people.  It happens a lot to kids who find out that they can wear skinny jeans and still listen to hip hop.  But most importantly it happens to worship leaders.  It’s true, we’re human and we all get to a point where the lights are addicting and our boot cut jeans falling perfectly over our 100$  Buckle boots make us feel cooler than we really are.

1 Peter 5:5
Young men, in the same way be submissive to those who are older. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

I was humbled Sunday morning in a serious way.

Can you tell the difference between these two medications?

Because I couldn’t at 6am until I had ingested the nighttime cold medicine that I thought was daytime.

I shared it with both services and needless to say they howled with laughter and groans of empathy.  It turned out to be fine and the coffee offset the drowsy effect the medication had that morning, but something else was there.  All of a sudden it was no longer about the rad Obey t shirt I was rocking.  It was no longer about the stud Martin I was strumming.  It wasn’t even about the drops and comebacks we did with the new song.  It was about being focused.  I don’t think I’ve ever been that focused on leading worship until that morning.  I wasn’t thinking about opening or closing my eyes.  I wasn’t worried about engaging or connecting (which is a good thing to worry about) My only concern was leading these worshippers into the throne room.

Thank You Lord for humbling me.

How have you been humbled this week?
