Today's Inspiring Thought: Don't Be in Such a Hurry
In our fast-paced, drive-thru, high speed, instant everything world today, waiting on God seems like a foreign concept. But the Lord is good to those who wait for him.
Matthew Henry writes in his Commentary on the Whole Bible regarding this verse, "While trouble is prolonged, and deliverance is deferred, we must patiently wait for God and his gracious returns to us.
While we wait for him by faith, we must seek him by prayer: our souls must seek him, else we do not seek so as to find. Our seeking will help to keep up our waiting. And to those who thus wait and seek God will be gracious; he will show them his marvelous lovingkindness."
The past week have been really challenging. One after another, just like a javelin pierced into my heart. The comfort of knowing Him, as long as I keep looking to the cross, keep looking and keep looking, I know I will gain my strength, but it's still tiring, to have people saying things but never doing it, to have the promises broken, for sake of impressing others, etc. Everyone have their own personal agenda, and what agenda do I have? Other than just serving a true and living God? What is so difficult of just lending a helping hand though it's out of the normal responsibilities? It's really a scary world we are living in, everyone is only looking for interest of themselves...Lord how about me?
Many times I sow in tears, but I reap in joy, but is that really so normal? How far can I go? As far as the Lord leads me? Hmm, a lot of uncertainties, but guess only God will I be able to hang on.
People, young people, children, they have always been my heartbeat, to reach and love, I enjoyed every bit of it, ministering and talking and encouraging them, but how come ministry could be so challeging when I enjoyed it? Because of human factor. Lord, help me!
Each time I was discouraged, I kept pushing myself, and push and push...and in the end still feel satisfy, because even the slightest smile on the student face gave me joy. Today my quietest boy, he lead in the song, though the guitarist help most, but still, that's a bold step, even to be able to tell us to rise and let's sing our first song. I am just a simple and easily contented gal, little little things touched me. After cg we had surprised makan, the boy fried rice for us...God bless this young man heart. Of so many students, yes, 1 or 2, whose heart fully into the Lord...that would give me much joy, as long as they acknowledge that Jesus is good and they know how to be appreciative of the things given to them by Gods grace.
