In Over Your Head

All week I have been thinking about how awesome our youth worship band did last Sunday. Due to a scheduling glitch, our regular worship leader was not going to be there. So we decided to ask the youth band to step up and lead. And lead they did! With a little practice and some great coaching from Emily, Jason and Rosanne, Gabi and her group led us all into God's wonderful presence.

I have to admit I was a little hesitant when we first considered the idea of giving the youth full responsibility for worship. I really like to stretch people and help them move to the next level. But at the same time I never want to throw people out into deep water before they are ready. Well, in this case, they were ready. I'm guessing these guys even impressed themselves with how well they did.

As I look back, God has often put me in situations that were way over my head. It made me depend more on him. And it made me really grateful when he came through. I discovered that he had prepared me better than I had first imagined.

Maybe you feel like you are in over your head. Trust God, get some good coaching and see what God does. You will be amazed.
