Today was bussyy, had a children's church seminar at uncle alex's and aunty janet's house, which started at 10.30 and ended at 3, but even after that we stayed behind to talk and i only got home at around 5..Then at night went for badminton, which drained any last bit of energy that was in me..But had lots of fun with fellow brother's and sister's from church the whole day!
During the children's church seminar, i felt the need for me to improve the level of worship since i'm involved in the worship section. So i thought about what i could do to improve worship, then the thought of me playing guitar during worship came into my mind. I know really really little about playing guitar, then i started to think about how much i need to learn in order to play guitar for worship songs, and it just seemed so impossible. Then i realised that if i truly wanted to make a change, i'll have to step out and believe that through God nothing is impossible. So my aim is to be able to play the guitar decently(at least the children church songs) by August, since that when im leading worship. First step is obviously to get a guitar...haha..
Anyway i didnt know what to do for devotion today, so i just flipped open my Bible and read what i saw. I ended up reading Mark 10:35-45. However v43-45 caught my attention.
43Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, 44and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. 45For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."
Well these verses reminded me of the children's church seminar we had today..The whole point of me joining the children's church ministry was that i wanted to help out in the church more, and i didn't know what i could do. Then the thought came into my mind that i could always help out in the children's church since they would definitely need help. The whole point of the seminar today was to also help us teach better and serve God better. It's all about serving God, because He's given us so much that i'm thankful for and i guess my way of gratitude is by serving in His house. This is also an opportunity for me to give others what God has already given me, so that by giving others God will give me more. Same thing as sowing and reaping, and being faithful in little so that we may be faithful in much.
The whole point of me serving was not to be great or anything, since it is just totally against my nature to want attention, in fact its the opposite..And the reason i do all this is just to give God back a portion of what He's so blessed me with. By serving Him, it helps me draw nearer to Him and gives me that sense of joy that i am able to do something for God. I was really happy to read that Jesus came not to be served, but to serve. Gave me this sense of joy because our goal is to be like Jesus as He was on this earth. Since he came not to be served, but serve, then i too will follow after his footsteps and serve others.
I want to serve God as much as i can, but i don't think these will be permanent though. Since i'll have to go back to Singapore for a year after i finish uni to do my national service, and by the time i come back, im sure many things would have changed and i too may have to start pursuing my calling..But i'll see when the time comes, im sure God has a plan. In the meantime, i'll do as much as i can serving God.
Lord i give you my heart, i give you my soul, i live for you alone, every step that i take, every moment im awake, Lord have your way in me
