"I'm scared!" or "I'm nervous!" have never been good enough reasons for my husband to say he couldn't do something. OR that he wouldn't do something. He has always been good about doing whatever anyone calls and asks him to do, sometimes to a fault. It's great to have a friend like Josh; you know he will be there if you need him.
I remember about 9 years ago, MAYBE, that he told me he was nervous about preaching in church. AND he said, "if I am nervous, it allows the Holy Spirit to move through me more freely!"
Well, Josh lost sight of that....for a while, BUT he has regained his weakness. I say--weakness--because the Bible says, the Lord's grace is sufficient for us, and His power is made perfect in weakness. We can boast all the more gladly about our weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on us. Isn't that reassuring? I mean, I am thrilled that when I see what I would consider a weakness, it's all the more for God to move!! How great is that?
I have my weaknesses and so does Josh, but we are better for them. As I watch the changes in Josh, I am excited. God is good!! When we become confident in ourselves, that's the problem. Weakness is not the problem.
Josh is leading worship this week for the first time in 2 years, and I know he is nervous. He didn't shy away from the request, but I know he feels scared. I am sure this week will be AWESOME, as my husband's weakness allows God to move FREELY. May the Holy Spirit be made PERFECT in Josh, this week.
You Rock, Josh, and I am excited to see what God does this week. Let Him work in you, and remember your own advice.
YOU ARE A NEW MAN!
