Take Heart
Psalms 121
I lift up my eyes to the hills -
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord,
the maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot slip -
he who watches over you will not slumber;
indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord watches over you -
the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
The Lord will keep you from all harm -
he will watch over your life;
the Lord will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.
Praise God for his promises to keep us in our times of need. I read and see that people here are not exactly going through the easiest of times (me included).. but as the message preached just on sunday, we are constantly poured out of our comfortable vessels to shake us up.. to mould and make us stronger. I echo Mel's sentiments when she says that she misses you all.. though I'm in the country, I feel that I might as well be in Timbaktu for all the time I'm allowed in church due to work commitments.
I have been wondering and complaining to God at times on why he has allowed me to stay in my job situation for so long. I know that it's not the lack of wanting to leave and find another job with a better schedule, I think Cyrus and the other leaders can attest to my plans and desire to find another work place. I felt my answer came through the message on Sunday.
I personally find it easy to come to church on Sunday.. weekends be filled with church activities. It had been my way of life for many years already. So perhaps I have been left complacent even in the house of God? Maybe. Throughout this period, I have learnt what it means to be "dis-allowed" the chance to fellowship with the Saints, it made me treasure the times when I do get to be around you all. However, I am also sad that with the time I spend at cell, I can't develop genuine relationships with you all, hopefully I'll get the chance when this life lesson is learnt and over. Also, the work place hasn't been the easiest place to be in when it comes to living the righteous life and being a light (mainly people problems.. but I'll not go into them this time).
We are all being tested and stretched this time.. but let us all take discipline/tests/trials from God with a good attitude and a humble heart. For we know He loves us and he disciplines those he loves. Let us learn what he wants to teach us through life and grow stronger together yah?!
I love and miss you all too!
