Heart of Worship

Listen to this article

Began the morning feeling more and more distanced from God... not sure why I feel this way but somehow feel that I failed God.

A Fourth Sign?
Is there yet another sign? Went for staff devotion today and today spoke about Proverbs 4:20-22 and James 1:22-25. It spoke about listening closely to His word. OK, I have been putting off doing what God has called upon me to do and also reading the bible... feel distanced from God.

Proverbs 1: 20-27
²⁰ My son, pay attention to what I say; listen closely to my words.
²¹ Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart;
²² for they are life to those who find them and health to a man's whole body.
²³ Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.
²⁴ Put away perversity from your mouth; keep corrupt talk far from your lips.
²⁵ Let your eyes look straight ahead, fix your gaze directly before you.
²⁶ Make level ^[b] paths for your feet and take only ways that are firm.
²⁷ Do not swerve to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil.

James 1: 22-25
²²Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.
²³Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror
²⁴and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.
²⁵But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it—he will be blessed in what he does.

I want to remove all obstacles that keeps me from being near God and I shall try hard...

Heart of Worship
Today's worship song sang "Heart of Worship", which happens to be one of my fav songs playing on my CD these few days. The words of the songs are meaningful and seems to remind us that worship is from the heart and not merely words spoken meaninglessly or worship songs sang meaninglessly. God looks at the heart of worship...

When the music fades
All is stripped away
And I simply come
Longing just to bring
Something that's of worth
That will bless Your heart

******
CHORUS
I'll bring You more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You're looking into my heart

I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You,
It's all about You, Jesus
I'm sorry, Lord, for the thing I've made it
When it's all about You,
It's all about You, Jesus
******

King of endless worth
No one could express
How much You deserve
Though I'm weak and poor
All I have is Yours
Every single breath

CHORUS

Some of my colleagues did not have enough of the song and gathered at my room after devotion to listen to the song once again, knowing that I have it on CD, which had been loaned to me by my cell group mate a few days earlier. Miraculously, the song was number 10 on the CD but it played automatically once I inserted the CD (also because I had "shuffle" on).

Work Achievement!
I just finished my 9-page annual report and also a write-up on a proposal for something which I had put off writing for like... ages... there is indeed a sense of satisfaction as I printed the report and write-up out and sent them to my boss.

Shanghai Look
My organization is having staff appreciation next month and the theme is "Shanghai Night". I am now researching on the "shanghai look" and even asked my friend from Shangai to bring me something Shanghai, that I could use for the dinner, when he returned to Singapore end of this month. I am even trying to spot a moustache... codfishy with moustache :D

Icy Cold
It has been raining and raining and even the water at night is so chilling icy cold... almost "died" when I washed my hands... :)
