HEART OF WORSHIP
Song by Matt Redman

When the music fades
All is stripped away
And I simply come
Longin' just to bring
Something that's of worth
That will bless Your heart
I'll bring You more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the ways things appear
You're looking into my heart
I'm comin' back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You
It's all about You, Jesus
I'm sorry, Lord, for the thing I've made
it
When it's all about You
It's all about You, Jesus
King of endless worth
No one could express
How much You deserve?
Though I'm weak and poor
All I have is Yours
Every single breath
I'll bring You more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You're looking into my heart, yeah

FOOTWEAR OF THE GOSPEL OF PEACE
Efeso 6:15 - isuot ninyo ang sapatos ng pagiging handa sa pangangaral ng Magandang Balita ng kapayapaan.

15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. NIV
For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared. NLT

Mahalaga sa isang sundalo na laging nakasuot ang kanyang sandalyas o sapatos sakaling may biglaang paglusob ng mga kalaban. Ito ay upang makakilos (o makatakbo) siya ng maayos at maingatan ang kanyang mga paa sa anumang bagay na maaaring makapanakit o magdulot ng sugat. Suot mo ba ang sandalyas o sapatos sa pakikipaglaban? Meaning, handa ka ba na ipangaral ang Magandang Balita ng kapayapaan? The gospel of peace – ipinadala na ang Tagapagligtas upang maipagkasundo tayo sa Diyos (to be reconciled with God and have peace with Him). Sa kanya lamang matatagpuan ang kaligtasan, sapagkat walang ibang pangalan sa buong daigdig na ibinigay ng Diyos sa mga tao upang tayo ay maligtas.(Gawa 4:12 MBBTAG) Ito ang Magandang Balita - sa pamamagitan ng kamatayan ni Hesus, ang galit ng Diyos dahil sa kasalanan ay napawi na wala nang labanan o away sa pagitan ng Diyos at tao (in colloquial term – “bati na tayo”); we have now peace with God. Nasira na ang pader o moog sa pagitan ng Diyos at tao; napunit na ang tabing na humaharang. Naiugnay na tayong muli sa Diyos dahil kay Cristo (through faith) at ang kaugnayang ito ay pangwalang-hanggan. Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ…(Romans 5:1 NKJV)

Not only do we have peace WITH God, we have the peace OF God. Kaya’t kapag tayo ay nahaharap sa anumang situasyon, mayroon tayong kapanatagan sa ating mga puso, dahil Siya ang ating kapayapaan. Kapayapaan ang bunga ng pananampalataya;samantala, pagkabalisa ang bunga ng takot. Saan mo gustong mabuhay, in faith or in fear? The choice is yours. Ating bantayan ang kapayapaang ating taglay; huwag nating pabayaang mangibabaw o malupig ng takot, pangamba at pag-aalala ang magandang buhay na inilaan ng Diyos para sa bawat isa sa atin. Huwag nating pabayaang maagaw ang kapayapaan na nasa ating puso dahil sa kanyang mga kasinungalingan. Maaari mong sawayin(rebuke through God’s Word) anumang akusasyon at paratang (accusation and condemnation) ng kaaway o anumang kaisipan na hindi ayon sa mga pangako ng Diyos. Anak ka ng Hari ng mga hari at Diyos ng mga diyos… Ikaw ay lubos na minamahal at kinalugdan ng Ama dahil kay Cristo. And take note, it is the gospel of peace, not the gospel of fear! “Huwag kang matakot” (“fear not”) - ito ang laging paalala sa atin ng Diyos sa Kanyang mga Salita. Ang nananalig sa Diyos ay nagpapanibagonglakas (o sigla); hindi siya madaling nadadala ng anumang nararamdaman o nakikita sa panlabas.

Gamitin mo ang sapatos ng pagiging handa sa pangangaral ng Mabuting Balita ng kapayapaan. Being always ready to share the Good News must be a lifestyle of every believer. Lagi kayong maging handang sumagot sa sinumang humihingi ng paliwanag sa inyo tungkol sa pag-asang nasa inyo. (1 Pedro 3:15 MBBTAG) Ang pag-asang ito ay si Cristo. Ang ating pag-asa ay nakasalig sa Kanya; hindi sa sarili nating karunungan o kung ano ang ating kayang gawin. Our confidence is in Christ alone. Our confidence in Him gives us the boldness to share the Good News anytime or when opportunity comes; and we can answer those who question this Hope as believers.

Elevate: Application/suggested question:

1. Masasabi mo ba na lagi kang nakahanda sa pangangaral ng Magandang Balita ng kapayapaan? Elaborate.

2. Mayroon na bang nagtutulak sa iyo ngayon na ipangaral ang Magandang Balita nang hindi napipilitan(motivates you not out of obligation but because of the Hope that is in you)? Elaborate.
