Where Do We Belong?

Hillsong Live - Where We Belong
Words & Music by: Joel Davies & Reuben Morgan
Lead Vocals: Joel Davies & Reuben Morgan

Verse 1
There is no height or depth
Neither life nor death
That can take me from all that I find
Here now in Your glory Lord

Verse 2
No other powers or love
The things of now or to come
There's nothing on earth in this life
That could ever separate us Lord

Pre-Chorus
Your love is never ending
To Your hands we surrender
Where all our sins are washed away
Your grace beyond reason
Has paid for our freedom
We're made alive in You

Chorus
We run to Your throne
Where we belong
Every heart will sing
That Jesus is lord

Casting all else aside
For the joy of our Christ
Let Your glory fall
Our hearts are filled with Your fire

Think about it. When was the last time you left the world to it's own, and entered a time of praising the wonderful name of the Lord, meditating on the Bible, or even prayer?

How about worship? I'm quite surprised to find the secular definition of worship, according to Wiktionary matches what we should do:

worship (uncountable)

1. The devotion accorded to a deity or to a sacred object

What is devotion, then? Devotion is dedication. So, how can we accord our dedication to God?

Do you live a “peculiar” Chrisitan life, a life that calls attention to Christ alone? Is your life so distinct and remarkable that others look at you and see Christ himself reflected? Or have you allowed yourself to be worn down by consumerism, empty religiousity, and everyday routine?

I think I shall stop here, as I see no purpose going further.



Tomorrow is National Day. I only have one question. When was the last time you honoured your country, people? When was the last time you actually sang along to the national anthem, the last time you really stood straight, the last time you attended a National Day celebration? As you live in this country, even though you don't like the ruling government, remember, we are born into this nation for a purpose.

Jeremiah 29:7 - Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the LORD for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper (NIV)

I forgot who quoted this bible verse, I think it was my pastor. This is the response of the Lord to those, to pray for Babylon, even though Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon was the one who looted them (0r something). So, shouldn't we seek the peace and prosperity of the city, which the Lord has sent us to by sheer non-coincidence?

Did You Feel the Mountains Tremble

PMR Trials are coming up. I've started my studying, at last. Now, I know, that zinc carbonate + heat -> zinc oxide + carbon dioxide. Haha. Got some flipping new revision books, since I have such a lousy Science teacher at school, who can't decide which language to teach in.

I'm not liking my chances in the Trials, though, and still undecided whether to expect an easy year thanks to election results, or a difficult one for the same reason. But I definitely won't be hedging my bets, 'cause I'm going all out for straight As.

On a side note, TNT and robotics state level competition both happened together on the previous Wednesday. For TNT, 19 persons responded to the call. I'll be praying for them not to fall off the track. On the performance side, though, I did quite badly on projection. Other than that, the cable (no pun intended) was extremely loose, and gave a greenish input to the projector. Cheap thing. Besides all of those, I wouldn't really know, because I was sitting on stage most of the time. The message, I have heard before, but it IS refreshing to hear it again.

The other side, which is robotics, well, Anderson swept up the top 2 spots. First and second place, baby! I've been working my butt off for it, and was supposed to go for the competition. But I decided to work on TNT, since i felt my work was done in the robotics thing. But I am going for the nationals, which will probably be all the way down to Johor.

Ha, back to miracles in my life. Finally got around to studying seriously, and it hasn't been too difficult yet. Then, there ARE some things that I... just shouldn't mention. Got really tired out thanks to robotics, church music practice, TNT, and potbless all happening around the same time. Stayed out about 10 hours a day, fully working most of the time. But, I felt something, like I was running on energy that I didn't have. It was kinda funny, since I was tired, but didn't feel it. I obviously attribute it to God, for He is my strength.

This song is written by Reuben Morgan, from Hillsong. The lyrics really helped me reinforce what I have learned throughout the years.

You Are My Strength

VERSE 1:
You are my strength
Strength like no other
Strength like no other
Reaches to me

VERSE 2:
You are my hope
Hope like no other
Hope like no other
Reaches to me

CHORUS:
In the fullness of Your grace
In the power of Your Name
You lift me up
You lift me up

VERSE 3:
Unfailing love
Stronger than mountains
Deeper than oceans
Reaches to me

BRIDGE:
Your love O Lord
Reaches to the heavens
Your faithfulness
Reaches to the skies

For His love is greater than all other, and it has been proven, time and time again, that we can put our full trust in Him. For in our weakness, He is our strength.
