Flow of Life: In Service

Exodus 33:14-15

And He said, My presence shall go with you, and I will give you rest. And he said to Him, If Your presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here.

One of the most important things I take care in my service is the presence of God. Without the presence of God, I dare not even imagine doing anything especially, the Lord's service. How can I do the Lord's work without the Lord? It is utter foolishness to even consider qualified to do any service to God without the Lord Himself. I have been learning this lesson and I am still learning. To some degree, I can testify that I have learned this lesson a bit more.

These days, many responsibilities have to be borne. One of the most important ones is the coordination in caring for the international training that was conducted in India for the elders and responsible ones all over the earth. My main function was to sign all the formal documents, agreements, and also receive payments for all expenses and pay them as well. I have never handled such magnanimous service ever in my life. Neither was I ever troubled or worried about this responsibility. Some how, the Lord graced me to take it and carry it out step by step at ease. I could experience the Lord's presence in all the responsibilities. Though the task seemed huge but the Lord's hand led me and all of us through with ease.

One thing I learned, it was not me nor the brothers who laboured, but the Lord who bore all the responsibilities on our behalf. We simply learned to coordinate with one another and with the Lord most importantly. At least, this is my observation and my experience.

Where the presence of the Lord is, there the flow of life is. Once the first condition is met, all the rest is grace.

Now that the international training is over, as the Lord answered the Body's prayer, all responsibilities have been carried out. In all these the Lord's presence was bountifully enjoyed. As for me, it was a rest and enjoyment. I did not go though any tension or anxiety. Though I prepared myself for any untoward incident to happen and in fact, geared myself up for the worst, the Lord gave us the best. The credit goes to God who is over all and in all. Praise the Lord!

In the presence of God is the flow of life. In the flow of life every service is grace. And under God's grace all is enjoyment with praises and thanks. Hallelujah!
