101 Days to Be Encouraged

Dear Friend,

Every weekend, our choir marches onto the platform and leads the congregation into worship. The congregation sees us (the choir) in our beautiful uniforms, smiling faces, uplifted hands and hear a well together song but what they don't see are the Tuesday night rehearsals. This is the time where we get together and break down or learn our parts. But how we are able to come together, as a whole, is not by singing the song as a whole but yet separately learning our parts. After each section (Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Baritone etc) has learned their part, the music is played as a whole and gone over several times (just to get the feel of it). Without this separation, you could easily find yourself singing someone else's part (believe me- I know) Friend, I want to encourage you by saying -if you are feeling a separation- maybe God has stopped the music so that you may learn your part and then he will turn it back on and you will join in; knowing your part in order to edify the whole!! Continue to seek him and allow him to do a work in you.

" And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ till we all come to the unity of faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God------that we-- may grow up in all things into Him who is the head"
Ephesians 4:11-13, 15

Call to action: when away from the crowd, listen for your part in life
