Hiding behind the cross

I am hiding behind the cross because I don't want others to see me. - The Other Side of Glory I led worship for the leader's prayer meeting this morning only with an idea about the theme I wanted to focus on- God's Steafast Love. As I enter the room after rushing up to the room from the office, I was almost caught unaware of God's pressense because the guys and gals were already praying. I didn't want to disturb their communion with God. I went in and started playin on the guitar and sought after the Lord for the words to speak. In the end I only sang one of the three songs I prepared. I didn't even give out the songlist. But I felt led by the Lord to lead songs with the same theme I had in mind. I just tried to stay as relevant to the Word of God as possible. I just did what I thought was God's agenda. I did struggle with the thought that what I did might not be God's will. Was it me, who's trying to false my own agenda on God's peaple? That would be unthinkable, I wouldn't dare attempt to, but we are susceptible to do that. I was greatly comforted by the confidence I get from God's word. As I shared earlier about the profitability of God's word in 2 Timothy 3:16-17. This two verses together with Romans 12:1-2 helped me to gain confidence in God's word and so that I will be able to "discern what is the will of God, what is good, what is acceptable and perfect"(Rom 12: 2b). My Bud, Daniel, affirmed in the car that we do not get renewed or recharged in church on Sunday, that's not the responsibility of the Church, but the responsible of a believer in response to his or her confidence in Christ - it is a daily proccess. God is most gloridied when we are most satisfied in Him in our daily dying and daily renewing of our minds in Christ! This is my confidence, in the cross of Christ! For thru Christ death, the way is made for me (and u) to enter into the blessings of God. In my longing for God, I trust Him in all things and for all things as affirmed and proclaim in His word. Thru His Word, I gain knowledge of where my salvation lies; in it is my confidence. All is made possible by God's provision at the cross. Oh, the blazing glory of the cross that made it possible! I hide now behind the cross that made the way for me! And now I understand! I am glad that you were blessed at the prayer meeting today, be it the worship or the short sermon by Ps Ronald (which was really good!), God reminded and strenthened His people thru His willing and humble vessel. Ain't that worship too? Soli Del Gloria!
