Too bad was in late to the service. Aiks... Windy....
Really so bad!!! I'm sorry God.
“Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.”
Proverbs 19:21 NIV
1. Because God is in control, I can feel secure about my future.
“We can make our own plans, but the LORD gives the right answer.”
Proverbs 16:1 NLT
“We can make our plans, but the LORD determines our steps.”
Proverbs 16:9 NLT
When we make a wrong plan, God is adjusting to the better one.
2. Because God is in control, even my problems can be use for his purpose.
“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 NIV
“You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.”
Genesis 50:20 NIV
“For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever!”
2 Corinthians 4:17 NLT
“So, what do you think? With God on our side like this, how can we lose? If God didn’t hesitate to put everything on the line for us, embracing our condition and exposing himself to the worst by sending his own Son, is there anything else he wouldn’t gladly and freely do for us? And who would dare tangle with God by messing with one of God’s chosen? Who would dare even to point a finger? The One who died for us—who was raised to life for us!—is in the presence of God at this very moment sticking up for us. Do you think anyone is going to be able to drive a wedge between us and Christ’s love for us? There is no way! Not trouble, not hard times, not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not bullying threats, not backstabbing, not even the worst sins listed in Scripture: They kill us in cold blood because they hate you. We’re sitting ducks; they pick us off one by one. None of this fazes us because Jesus loves us. I’m absolutely convinced that nothing—nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable—absolutely nothing can get between us and God’s love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us.”
Romans 8:31-39 MSG
3. Because God is in control, then my prayers have impact.
“God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us. Glory to God in the church! Glory to God in the Messiah, in Jesus! Glory down all the generations! Glory through all millennia! Oh, yes!”
Ephesians 3:20-21 MSG
“And we are confident that he hears us whenever we ask for anything that pleases him.”
1 John 5:14 NLT
God hear me , remember me, see me, concern me.
Right after the service, my church sister Ting came to approach me and talk to me once again. Throughout the conversation, I found something interesting! She met her marriage mentor. She told me that her church was good as she has a good marriage mentor to help their marriage as they are new and need some guidance in their marriage. That's was cool. I didn't realize it can be a mentoring system in marriage as well. Wow...
Busy day for today as we keep shopping for food. From the day after I might need to work everyday except Sunday! Haha. But I thank God as well, as I'm really appreciate God listen to my prayer and grant my Sunday off just for him alone.
Something disappointment me was my ex flat mate Amy and Kimb they not interest to join the service. Too bad. But they planning to cook for me, my favorite Bak Kut Teh! 😉
Once again we attend the evening section!!!
Broken vessel!!! That's the song I love!
At first, I thought I might be feel sleepy and boring as the brother shared about the church mission trip. I tell God, talk to me or else I might fall asleep.
I really not able to concentrate until the section of life chat. This brother and another sis, sis Irene were share about their life which use by God for mission. Especially when sis Irene shared about her needs during her serving time for the mission trip, I sudden feel that God is talking to me.
I don't know why... I just feel I should talk to her. She might able to guide me when I'm in doubt of serving God in future. But the problem is, I told God, if you want me to go for some mission, let her approach me as another confirmation.
I think that's quite impossible for her to approach me if I'm leaving right after the service. So when the service end, me and Elsa stand up and walk out the church. During that time, I told God, see...she not approach me, so I'm not going to do anything. After I told God, I turn behind, I saw sis Irene. She walk towards me and start to approach me. Gosh.... If just a normal approach, I think I might escape again. But she asked us to leave our contact to her and I know this is what God want me to do, I'm not hiding anymore. She was in a rush and yet she spend time to get our contact. God, that's unbelievable.
After the gathering when I reach home, I refresh the incident happened in the church. I know I should tell the sister Irene what's going on with me.
She date me for a coffee this Wednesday. I know I will be nervous for the unknown thing might be happened. I know God lead me to her and I think I can learn something from her. Nervous with more excitement which God has his great plan for me soon.
I recall the song I sang in the church. "I lift my hand"
I lift my hands to believe again
You are my refuge, You are my strength
As I pour out my heart
These things, I remember
You are faithful, God, forever
Let faith arise
