Faithfulness of a Choir Member
Yesterday, in service, our choir did a wonderful job singing a few songs for special music. I’m always so amazed at how beautiful and professional they sound. As well, the anointing of the Lord is clearly upon them. As I sat and listened to them sing, I stated to think about the faithfulness it takes to be in this choir. I thought about the level commitment that each choir member has to have in order for the choir to be effective in ministering like they do. I know a little about the time commitment:
1. They rehearse every Tuesday evening for 1.5-2 hours. 2. Choir members participate in each of the 3 weekend services - 1 Saturday night and 2 services Sunday morning. They even have to be at the services 30 minutes to an hour early. 3. In addition, they spend time each week outside of church listening to choir cd’s so they can learn the songs for the coming week. 4. Not to mention how much time they spend rehearsing around Christmas, Easter and other special events.
I’m so impressed with the faithfulness of these choir members. I’m especially astonished with those who are here every single week, week in and week out. Every week, rain or shine, they are here! They don’t adopt the mindset of many churchgoers and only show up when they “feel” like it. They don’t let other activities take priority over their commitment to being here every single week.
This type of faithfulness is to be commended. Even more, within the choir, faithfulness can be more defined by those choir members who are non-soloists. They are simply good ole’ choir members. I mean the ones who never have a microphone in their hands. They don’t sing solos and they don’t lead worship. Yet they are up there every single week doing what they signed up to do. It is these people that I admire the most! They realize they are singing for the glory of Jesus and not for the praise of men. They sing week in and week out and are faithful because they know who they are singing for. These faithful choir members challenge me to be more faithful in what I do for God. They teach us that consistency matters. Attendance matters. Attitude matters. All these things add up to show faithfulness.
How I long to be a faithful choir member on this earth so I will be ready to be a faithful choir member in heaven singing; “Glory, glory to the Lamb”.
