Counting the Cost

I went to choir rehearsal tonight and was welcomed into an amazing time of worship. Praising God is something I love to do. Its more than a song. Its literally magnifying God with all of your being.

In any case, after worship the music director said something like "doing anything for God is a priviledge." And while this is true I am feeling the weight of the responsibility that comes with the call.

After some thought and prayer, I realized that responsibility is not the heavy weight. The weight I was feeling was my sin. The sin I carried weighed me down to the point of not being able to fully operate in my gift. I believe this is why Paul implored the Hebrews to lay aside every weight of sin to run the race set before us. Its impossible to successfully win a race when you have weights tied to you.
