Just Do It...

I recently attended a dance conference and one of the speakers talked about the importance of listening to that still small voice. She suggested that whenever we are spirit-led to do something we should simply Just Do It. I have found myself struggling with this in my own ministry. About a month ago I heard a song "Amazing God" by William Murphy, and said to myself I am going to minister to that on Sunday...it was Thursday. Well, between Thursday and Sunday, I prepared to minister to this song and by Sunday I had talked myself out of it. My biggest justification (excuse) for "waiting until next week" was that it (the dance) wasn't ready. It's funny because as the service progressed my Pastor began to speak about an Awesome God and I knew in my heart that the song was right in line with the flow of the service. In the end, I put my flesh under my foot and went forward in doing the dance. The Lord not only ministered to my heart but to many others. And to think...it or should I say "I" wasn't ready. Going forward, I have got to get out of the way and let God use me that way he wants to.
