Worship Diary

The inclination of the natural heart and the path of following the principles of God's Word lead in opposite directions.

How to know God’s will? This was one of the questions under study and discussion in our last weekly worship. We turned to the Scripture for answers and discussed our experience… “If any of you lack wisdom let him ask of God.” James 1:5

Asking, believing, receiving and imparting, always depending on Him.

“Let him ask in faith.” James 1:6

When we expect that God will hear us and give according to our need, we will receive. Faith claims God’s promises and brings forth fruit in obedience. The inclination of the natural heart and the path of following the principles of God’s Word lead in opposite directions. Love of truth leads up.

“This is the way, walk ye in it.” Isaiah 30:21

One of our group shared her experience in asking God for direction at the beginning of the day and the resulting answers. We rejoiced with her.

“The Son of man came not to be ministered unto but to minister.” Matthew 20:28

“Leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps.”1 Peter 2:21

Inspired, we ask for others the blessings we seek.

We concluded our worship with a hymn.

Blessed Lord how much I need thee!
Weak and sinful, poor and blind
Take my trembling hand and lead me;
Strength and sight in thee I find.
Every hour, every hour:
Blessed Lord, how much I need Thee…
Saviour keep me every hour.
