The Life Of A Worship Leaderနမူနာ

Footsteps of Worship

God is astounding. From making the cosmos to forming us in His hands, He holds all of eternity. There is nothing too far from His reach; there is nothing too deep that He cannot touch. He always goes before us.

It is humbling to know that nothing about His children is hidden from God. There is nothing that goes beyond His notice or His care. Even from our childhood steps, to adolescence, and into our adult lives, the Lord teaches every one of our steps. (1 Peter 2:21)

When our steps weaken, He gives us a firm place to stand. When all seems shaken, He places us on dry land. He hides our fear and worry, but asks us to do one thing: trust each step of His leading.

He forgives our failures and desires us to turn to Him, to repent by having a true life change. He wants to transform our worry, mistrust, bitterness, and shame. He wants to glorify Himself through us by brightening our hope, widening our trust, fulfilling our joy, and lifting our voice to give Him praise. (Isaiah 12:2)

So why the struggle? Why must we walk through these valleys? It's where we find God doing the majority of His work in our character. God reveals His nature of love and care. When we truly find our dependency in Christ, the steps we take are not only shared by Him, but they are also carried by Christ. (Isaiah 46:4)

Soon we will pass into eternity, but in the here and now, we are held in His grip. He is a God of compassion and salvation. We look to Him as He provides each step, carrying our burdens, and yet lifting us from the yoke of bondage to run into His grace. (Psalm 32:7)

"Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens." – Psalm 68:19
