My mind seems to race with songs, ideas, my next trip or things to do in the wee morning hours. This has been happening for a while now. Most often a song will come to mind and it’s on repeat as Im trying to drift back to sleep before I really do need to get out of bed. Surprisingly, Ive been able to stay awake during the day while using my time productively. Today seemed different, in that I feel as if my purpose, has been revealed to me.

How often do we think that we’re called to do ‘something ‘big’ for God when He’s just asking us to do what’s right in front of us? It’s all important if that is what He wants you to do in that moment. While the book of Colossians is one of my favorite books in the Bible, it’s Colossians 3:23 that comes to mind most often. “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters”. I believe that God has called me to encourage others in the power of the Holy Spirit through the ministry of music. It isn’t about me but all about Him~allowing His Spirit to flow through me to touch the lives of other people. Keeping 2 Corinthians 4:7 in mind~“But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us”, my part is to make myself available, continue rehearsing and yielding my voice to Him.

So many people are trying to make a name for themselves and become famous. In the times that we’re living in, I would encourage every person who calls him/herself a christian to “lift up the name of Jesus and He will draw men to Himself” (John 12:32) where ever He has placed you. We are only “jars of clay” but God can use us if we are willing to do whatever He is calling us to do. During this Lenten season, a time for reflection, prayerfully consider…What is God asking you to do during this season? Where is He asking you to serve? Make every day count because time is so precious. “Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom” (Psalm 90:12).
