compass to the cross

June 15, 2009 2 comments Article devos

we were challenged during service yesterday to close our eyes and consider something during a worship song. one of my dear friends relayed to me later that as she stood there, praising God, worshiping the Almighty, something happened without her even knowing it. she turned.

little by little, her body turned so that when she opened her eyes after the song, much to her surprise – she wasn’t facing straight forward anymore, but rather had ended up facing the cross on the side of the stage.

everyone else was facing one direction, but she was facing the cross.

it made me think that when we focus on Him and simply love Him and worship Him, that whether we realize it or not, we become a compass to Christ. that we simply point to Him.

we shed the self-awareness, we aren’t embarrassed to be against the grain, we shut the world out of our sight and align ourselves to Him. and then everything about our lives – how we act, what we say, where we go,.. it all points back to Him.

the imagery is sweet. and it becomes all the sweeter when it is realized in our own lives… when we forget ourselves in worship and we become a compass to the cross.

may it be so, Lord. may it be so!
