Back to God..

12/2

well.. ytd nite.. trash everything out with God.. i cried.. i wept.. sang praises to Him.. and the Lord showed me His word.. Romans 8:28.. thank you Lord..

in the morn.. had cell grp.. was intending to teach.. but the time of sharing was extended.. and indeed.. my fellow bros and sis.. they are facing alot of problems.. complicated matters.. so in the end.. decided to just have praise and worship.. and then prayers..

when i was angry with God.. i kept on questioning Him.. why this and why that, etc.. and each time.. a bible verse will pop out in my mind answering my quests.. but i just refused to accept it.. i just refused to accept the verse.. although i know it is the Truth, i just stubbornly refuse to accept that.. for eg i ask God, ' God! why must this thing happen?' then this bible verse will come to my mind , ' my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. ' but during that point of anger, i just dun want to acknowledge this verse.. just dun want to embrace God's Truth.. just dun want to acknowledge His sovereignity(if there is such a word).. this is the 1st time im angry with God..

BUT after ytd nite.. im quite ok liao.. then this afternoon.. got a verse from Joshua.. ' Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight. ' which is found in Proverbs 3:4-5.. it speaks to me.. like wat i said, you know the verse.. you know the Truth.. but just refused to accept it when you are angry.. you just shut your mind off..

sometimes.. in the midst of trials and problems.. we focus too much on the situation.. and forget to or rather to depend on our own human finite wisdom to solve the problems.. to rationalise.. to comprehend.. But the Lord told us to trust in Him.. ultimately.. it still boils down to trust and have faith in God.. although we may not understand why this and that have to happen,etc.. BUT choose to trust Him.. Jesus said in John 14:1 - ' “Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.'

all things that happen.. happen for a purpose.. we mayb not know the purpose yet.. BUT trust Him that He knows what happen.. and He has a purpose for it.. how can our human finite mind be able to comprehend or understand wat God's perfect plan is? it is impossible.. most probably if you try that, you will end up getting frustrated, angry, fed up, irritated, sad, disappointed, etc.. how does it benefit us? it doesn't.. so why not we commit the whole situation into His hands.. and pray?? it make more sense to pray for the situation.. then to worry or get frustrated.. cos prayers work wonders.. whereas worrying do nothing to help at all.. your faith mayb even weaken by worrying and not praying.. it is not easy.. i know.. so must really train your spirit to turn your worries into prayers.. that is more productive..

chatted with calvin also.. got this quote from him .. ' even if you cant feel His touch, trust His heart '... a BIG AMEN!!!

and also.. was reading a book by Alice Gray.. quite a number of quotes that speaks to my heart.. i thank God.. thank God for speaking to me thru so many sources..

' All i have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all i have not seen. '

' I believe in the sun when it is not shining, i believe in love when i feel it not, i believe in God even when He is silent.'

' Hope is wishing a thing to come true. Faith is believing it will come true.'

' God does not love us becos we are valuable, we are valuable becos God loves us.'

' And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose. '

Romans 8:28
