In His time...
I should consider changing my profile picture... (random thought)
7 of us met at Reuben's place last Monday just to worship, pray and chill out together. It was a great time together with God and one another. I felt very relaxed in God's presence and with one another. And I also felt the peace and joy of God throughout the time there.
We had a good time eating pizza (especially when it's free), thanks Reub. And to top it all, with Ai May's superb Brownies!! Just made my day... I'm looking forward in excitement for the next time we can meet again like that. Sooo good...
Been thinking about some things lately and as I turn to the bible this sentence struck a chord in me. I think it's C#minor.
No... it's "Blessed are those who trust in the Lord."
Makes a whole lot of sense to me at this point in time where I can do something but it will probably just make things worst, or I can just trust Him in my situation.
Knowing what to do (which is to trust Him) helps me attain perspective to my conduct.
What can I do that can help my situation?
What can I say that will not lead me astray?
To trust that You have all in consideration,
And wait as time will tell my destination,
Knowing that God have the best in mind for my life and really acting upon that statement is two different things. I can know many truths about God in my head. But for it to travel from my head to my heart takes a decade, maybe two.
But I guess I can trust Him enough to take actions before knowing what the outcome will be like. Plus, I have no other better options anyway. (Which makes it a lil easier to surrender).
Sometimes I think I know what's best for me. Especially when there isn't anything better in that point in time. But to cheerfully lay down what I think is the best for me is quite hard.
Me being human, want things fast, now and instantaneous. But I figured that God got all my thoughts/worries/wants/needs, covered.
So I guess I'll just spend some time talking to Him very openly to tell Him my same old, same old and to surrender, daily. Picking up my cross intentionally and to lay my worries and all my stories at the altar and take on His yoke. To follow Him, journey with Him, on an every day, every minute basis.
To be like a mirror that is ever so clear, that will hopefully do justice to how He looks like. And that means, He probably needs to wipe that mirror quite a bit until it's crystal clear. Even after that, over time, the mirror might get tainted and dirty again. And the wiping and polishing process is needed ever so often. It's painful and hard going through a polishing time in my life.
Ecclesiastes 3:11
He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end.
He 'has' made, not he 'will' make... He has already made it. And He has drafted out a good future (good in His eyes, may not be exactly what I think 'good' should be like) for those who love and follow Him.
OooOo Father Lorrrddd..... You really need to help me believe that!!
