Seek the LORD and His strength; seek His face continually. 1 Chronicles 16:11
My, my, my! Time reeaaalllly flies! It's just about seven more weeks till I return home. These coming few weeks are gonna be quite hectic as there are lots of work to be accomplished (e.g. presentations, assignment, trials). It's easy to sway away from God during these times. All the stress and anxiety can really break us down slowly if we don't overcome it properly. The same goes to the times when we achieve victory during competitive events in our lives. Worldly pleasures are also one--- temptations to do this and that.
Through all these, we tend to forget who really gives us our daily bread we need so much and guide us. We tend to have too much pride in ourselves and forget where our help really comes from and who actually gives all the blessings to us. That's why we should be still (Psalm 46:10 "Be still and know that I am God") and know that our Heavenly Father, our God, the Holy One is the one that we should give all the glory and praises to, because His Grace for us is sufficient. He is irresistible and the place of refuge. (Nahum 1:7 "The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him,")
And of course, faith is most important for every Christians. Without having faith in Jesus Christ (that He is the Son of God and died for our sins and resurrected, ascended to Heaven and will one day come again) and surrendering our lives to God, it is impossible to please God. (Now without faith it is impossible to please God, for whoever comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who diligently search for him. Hebrews 11:6)
I believe that God has a plan for everyone (and it will be accomplished according to His time) and that we should surrender in whole to Him and be humble before Him. When times of trouble dawn upon me, these Bible verse ("No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it. 1 Corinthians 10:13) keep reminding me that no matter how serious the situation seemed to be, God is always there for us. God says to us in Isaiah 43:2 ~ "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze."
He is truly the KING of KINGS, LORD of LORDS! Our SAVIOUR!!
Here is a song --- 'Your Name' by Paul Baloche.
As morning dawns and evening fades
You in- spire songs of praise
That rise from earth to touch Your heart
and glorify Your Name
CHORUS
Your Name is a strong and mighty tow- er
Your Name is a shelter like no oth- er
Your Name, let the nations sing it loud- er
'Cause nothing has the pow- er to save
But Your Name
Jesus, in Your Name we pray
Come and fill our hearts today
Lord, give us strength to live for You
and glorify Your Name
CHORUS
Your Name is a strong and mighty tow- er
Your Name is a shelter like no oth- er
Your Name, let the nations sing it loud- er
'Cause nothing has the pow- er to save
but Your Name
INSTRUMENTAL CHORUS
Your Name is a strong and mighty tow- er Y
our Name is a shelter like no oth- er
Your Name, let the nations sing it loud- er (1st & 2nd endings)
'Cause nothing has the pow- er to save
but (Repeat Chorus) (3rd ending)
'Cause nothing has the pow- er to save but Your Name (Repeat)
Till then, please continue to pray for me (my coming posts may delay).
Take care and God bless. Jesus loves you! :-)
