In my weakness, He is strong
In my weakness, He is strong. Ever so strong. That is what I learned tonight. This is just a little testimony of something God did in my life. I’ve played drums for church for about 6 years now. This particular week, I hadn’t practiced at all. Before I continue I need to first clarify some things–I couldn’t practice because I didn’t make it to church in the days before the service, I hadn’t gotten a time at school to play and the drum set at my house is only half existent…the point is I had alibi for not practicing, I wasn’t just trying to be careless. Even though I couldn’t control the fact that I couldn’t practice, I still did my part. I think this is something that we can all learn to do better because sometimes all we need to do is one small thing or a simple responsibility God gives us and He can do great things with it if all we do is obey.
God can do wonders if we do the little assignments He gives us.
My responsibility this time around was to listen to the songs as much as I could, which I did. For three days, I listened to the songs repeatedly and every time I got in the car, I put them on. I knew them like the back of my hand by the end of this. But I still didn’t get to practice them, and this concerned me a bit still because I hadn’t ever played one of the songs on drums before. Also, we were playing a song I had struggled with a lot the week before, and another part of a song I knew, we were playing something new for. The fact was, I didn’t feel completely prepared but knew I had done my part and it was up to God to do the rest. After I completed my tiny responsibility, I gave it to God and prayed a whole lot. And He did it all. No joke, tonight was the best I’ve played the drums in my entire life. Out of all the times I’ve played drums, this was the best. It felt the best and I played in the pocket. I had so much fun! Praise God! So, the results were I played the song I had never played before amazingly and like I’d already played it a bunch, I played the song I did bad at the week before amazingly and didn’t even miss a beat and I played the new part of the song we’d played before so well. Again, there is a lot of “I” in this but it was by no means my doing, only the Lord’s. All I can say is that in my weakness, He is strong.
If you aren’t a musician or you just don’t find this interesting, sorry but I felt it so amazing because I know myself and I know what God did. This is just my attempt at recording it but God’s works are too great to ever be properly written down.
Thanks for reading!
