i am in awe of how God works.
it's 2.35a.m. and i just did my quiet time.
i really was supposed to study,
but i thank God that i sought Him instead.
recently i kept meeting(like at random times) this primary school friend of mine that i haven seen for donkey years.
i remember very clearly that the 2nd time when i happened to see him when i had my ultra sexy voice (because of excessive coughing O.o), he said
"i think God wants me to meet you."
& then we laughed it off.& i guess, it was really a devine meeting for a time as such.
we were just catching up a little on MSN and our conversation somehow evolved into one about God then into our relationships with God.
we know that we haven been the most faithful, not the most disciplined, not exactly putting God 1st in our lives.
we know that we sometimes allow our faith to be shakened by the world.
we know we haven been the most on fire Christians recently & we know we need to go back to the basics.
we know we can be better Children of God, we know God has not used us to our fullest potential yet.
we typed and thought and shared and the presence of God grew so strong.
i thought it was just me so i didn't comment on it.but my friend suddenly said
"i feel like doing a power QT now. heck the studies & trust that God will handle it."
haha, not the most civilised manner of putting it, but yes, i agreed.we were both supposed to be studying for papers later in the day. >.<
lo & behold, we really let go of our studies & went t seek God after sharing prayer requests.
i tell you, my quiet time was AWESOME.
& God totally dropped the right verses for me that addressed the issues that i had been struggling with recently.
i'm guilty of being obsessed over results.
i really, really, really, REALLY wanna do well in school. i REALLY wanna be the head and not the tail. i REALLY feel the stress as i see the whole world mugging so hard for MSA2 that is just, apparently, 2.5% of the JC1 overall. =.=
[i still don't understand the mugging part. o.o]
as i was worshipping, something nudged me to turn the Bible to 2 Timothy 6:9.
T WAS AMAZING.
he verse was one that i haven really noticed before.
but, it's really just what i need now.
"But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition"
"rich" is not limited to wealth. it can refer to studies, career, laziness etc. it may even be applied to ministry or relationship context.
it is the desire of our hearts that turn into an obsession that will cause destruction to what is eternal and truly worth seeking.
we should never love the "thing" more than we love God.solution?
1 Timothy 6:11-12
"flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness. fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life."
& at the end of my quiet time, God said this to me
"the bigger picture of God's plan is ALWAYS the most beautiful."
really, we mustn't disect God's plan and admire it part by part.
it is really the whole overall picture that causes us to see how amazing each portion works together to form the overall.
& today, i saw the parts working together. =D
Ms K, my literature teacher, said yesterday that the approach we need to take when we tackle a poem is to see the big picture 1st, then we examine the various parts that work together to convey the main idea of the poem. God is just, awesomely awesome.
how should i explain it?
