COS ~ Enoch Cell

Light of the world,

You stepped down into darkness

Opened my eyes, let me see

Beauty that made this heart adore You

Hope of my life spent with You

And here I am to worship

Here I am to bow down

Here I am to say that You're my God

You're altogether lovely

Altogether worthy

Altogether wonderful to me

King of all days

Oh, so highly exalted

Glorious in heaven above

Humbly You came to the earth You created

All for love's sake became poor

I'll never know how much it cost

To see my sin upon that cross

*.* Sharing from Felicia. Felily. Feli. *.*

First, thanks Rachel for sharing! :)

God loves it when we begin to praise His name, and to worship Him because we were made to worship Him. Everything is made through Him, by Him and for Him, AMEN!

So lets all praise His holy name, all times. In times of adversity, in times of joy and in times of woe. Because God is always good.

I was just doing my quiet time just now, and my heart was really burdened for the cell group. So I prayed really hard for every burden that was in my heart and every thing that was making me worried and anxious. For a moment, I just didn't say anything to God. I was siting there listening to the music playing. And I was hearing, 'As the deer, pants for the water so my soul thirsts after thee. You alone are my heart's desire, and I long to worship you.'

I felt the Holy Spirit prompt in my heart to sing the song out loud. So I began to sing. And as I sang along, I realised how the Lord was using this song to lift away all my burdens. And I felt better just after that. That there is really nothing on earth that I desire after, apart from God. And all I really want and ever need is God -my Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. That's really all I really want. And nothing else on this earth was ever going to satisfy it. Except, having God Himself.

GOD ALONE -He is our strength and our shield.

To all the leaders out there mentoring and leading people:
Who are you anxious and worried about?
What is it that you are burdened about?
What is it that you are upset and has lost strength over?
What is laying you down, pulling you and stopping you from moving forward?
Work?
Family?
Relationships?
A certain someone?
Your mentees?
Church?

Leave it to the Lord. Cast your cares upon the Lord, for He cares for you. Don't worry and don't be anxious over anything. Lift it up to God, and turn your eyes to Jesus. Remember, that you were made to worship Him. Is your life right now, every second, a worship to the Lord?

I think as leaders, we sometimes give more than we can afford to. In fact, we give more than we should. And today as I was praying, I realised that the Lord is calling us back. Back to the heart of worship. Its not about the sheep, its not about the cell group, its not about the parties, outings, events and what nots. ITS ABOUT GOD.

Drop everything you hold dear in your heart guys, and love the Lord.

Let us come back to the heart of worship. We need to love God and worship Him with every bit of our hearts. It is Him first and Him only.

I may not know what worries you hold in your heart, or what burdens you have. But God does, and He is ready to heal. Indeed, a broken and a contrite spirit the Lord He does not despise. Therefore, I urge you, to cast your cares upon the Lord. Everything to Him. Give everything to Him.

Get down on our knees, and let us pray and worship Him. Let us focus on loving the Lord, shall we?
