Fear God

During free period today, there was a quickening inside of me to wanna pray for JYC. After JYC meeting last night, it really dawned on me how seriously I ought to treat my ministry. After talking to Tany about stuff that's been happening here and there, I concluded that I need to fear God. Fear struck my heart last night.

God is holy, and even in hearing His most loving voice, something inside of me has to tremble, because He is holy, and I am not. That is the fear of the Lord.

And it wasn't just myself that needed to fear God. JYCers need to, and all Christians are called to. So it starts with the leadership. Action has to be taken. Sin has to be purged. As long as we naively think that God is all about gentleness and forgiveness, He cannot come into our lives, because He simply won't stay in a place that doesn't give Him the due respect and reverence.

So as I prayed "all I fear is You, Lord!" during free period, a song arose in me. This happens pretty often, but I never really bother jotting them down, or developing these tunes into a proper song. At most, I'll just write them in the form of a psalm in my journal, like during army (sorrowful times...). But, since I'm doing worship leading on a more frequent basis now, I decided to make it into a full song, and hopefully spread this BIG fire in my heart.

>>>Sidetrack, I'm actually realising more and more that I'm musically inclined. I mean, yea I've been learning music since 3 years old, but as I look back and ponder in recent times, I'm beginning to believe that this talent MUST be utilised to serve God, which is also in line with another point that came up during JYC meeting. >>>

So I'm fearing God. All over again. May my spiritual maturity be taken to a higher level this time. And I believe it has something to do with family camp.

I love You, Lord. Teach me to love fear You more.
