INTRODUCTION

We warmly welcome you to join us in a beautiful and uplifting experience of meditation, prayer, and singing. As we worship together, we invite the LORD to move in our hearts and minds, filling us with HIS love, compassion, and joy. We truly believe that this sacred time together will uplift and inspire you and you draw near into the presence of God. So come as you are, with an open heart and a willingness to connect, and let's worship together.

We invite you to join us in this time of worship, either by listening to the video or by singing along with the lyrics, as we lift our hearts and voices in praise and adoration to God.

READ

Romans 5:12; 3:23; 6:23; Isaiah 53:6

PONDER

“He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.”  Ps. 91:4.

A CONDESCENDING simile indeed! Just as a hen protects her brood and allows them to nestle under her wings, so will the Lord defend his people, and permit them to hide away in him. Have we not seen the little chicks peeping out from under the mother’s feathers? Have we not heard their little cry of contented joy? In this way let us shelter ourselves in our God, and feel overflowing peace in knowing that he is guarding us.

While the Lord covers us we trust. It would be strange if we did not. How can we distrust when Jehovah himself becomes house and home, refuge and rest to us?

This done, we go out to war in his name and enjoy the same guardian care. We need shield and buckler, and when we implicitly trust God, even as the chick trusts the hen, we find his truth arming us from head to foot. The Lord cannot lie; he must be faithful to his people; his promise must stand. This sure truth is all the shield we need. Behind it we defy the fiery darts of the enemy.

Come, my soul, hide under those great wings, lose thyself among those soft feathers! How happy thou art!

Spurgeon, C. H. (1834-1892).

PRAY

After a moment of quietness, let the Spirit of God lead you as you pray for 5 people who you would love to see become followers of Jesus Christ, or people who you know have strayed from God. Name them before the Lord, asking God to reveal Himself to them, and that He would draw them in grace, mercy and love to trust and follow Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord.  

 

Close your prayer time with the Lord’s Prayer:

 

Our Father, who art in heaven, 

Hallowed be Thy name. 

Thy kingdom come. 

Thy will be done 

on earth as it is in heaven. 

Give us this day 

our daily bread. 

And forgive us our debts, 

as we forgive our debtors. 

And lead us not into temptation, 

but deliver us from evil. 

For Thine is the kingdom, 

and the power, and the glory, 

for ever. Amen.
