The Voice of Light

I’ve commenced my third module of training to become a worship vocalist. The theme for this module is on The Voice of Light, which is to go beyond being equipped with the music skills, and be on a mission to shine for God in the midst of this dark world.

Two topics were covered this week, and both left deep impact on me and really set me thinking.

The first was on The Voice of Humility, where we shared about the challenges of leaving our pride behind and the need to humble ourselves before God.

The second topic was on A Voice That Abides.
The scripture covered for this topic is taken from John 15:9-10

Just as the Father has loved Me,
I have also loved you; abide in My love.
“If you keep My commandments,
you will abide in My love;
just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.

What does the word ‘abide’ means to you? The definition of this word simply means to continue, dwell, endure, be present, remain etc

It was only when my coach replaced the word in the scripture when I finally read this scripture with a different perspective:

Just as the Father has loved Me,
I have also loved you; dwell in My love.
“If you keep My commandments,
you will remain in My love;
just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and not stray away from His love.

Let’s remember what it means to obey God and why we should do so. For “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it” Luke 11:28
