If you had read my previous post, you probably know that I was
pacing the floor, earnestly seeking from an answer from God. I knelt down,
facing the wall and prayed sincerely, asking God to reveal me the thing that I had
done wrong and also for a pair of ears that are able to recognize His voice.
Minutes later, I
was trying to revise but couldn't move into my study mood and nothing seems to
be absorbed into my mind. Instead of wasting my time starring at the same page,
I reached my laptop, tried to find something to do and then, I remembered the
link of Jeremy
Lin's faith given by friend
that I have not read.
While reading a certain part, I was actually laughing and tearing at the same moment. I
am not sure if that's really what God wanted to reveal to me, but it just got
me to a sense of shouting out BINGO!
Unlike Jeremy who
lift up all the glory to God, I'm probably too concern about self-glory.
Compete to win, so that I'll be lifted up high with pride. My failure in
becoming top in my first semester doesn't really teach me to step back and rely
on God. Instead, it rekindle the dirty oil in me to prove people how smart I
could have been. Nothing more than self, self, self, SELF!
I wonder if that's
the reason why I hardly move into study mood all these days. Perhaps, it's a
warning from God to stop me, and let me realize the right motive behind study is
for His glory not mine. I should really really lean on Him.
After reading
Jeremy's faith, I have seen how God has perfectly planned his life. He said, if
he was given a chance to return to his highschool, he wouldn't worry this much
but enjoy as much as possible because God has a perfect plan in him. I believe,
this plan doesn't limited to him alone but for whoever who believes.
Proverbs 3:5-6
TRUST in the Lord with all your heart,
not lean on your own understanding;
in all ways acknowledge Him,
and He will make your path straight.
It's similar to
Facing The Giant, but I have never really get the real message from the story
until today. "I
want God to bless this team so much people will talk about what He did. But it
means we gotta give Him our best in every area. And if we win, we praise Him.
And if we lose, we praise Him. Either way we honor Him with our actions and our
attitudes. So I'm askin' you... What are you living for? I resolve to give God
everything I've got, then I'll leave the results up to Him. I want to know if
you'll join me. "
- Facing the Giant
(2006)-
Aint abot how
high i'll achieve
But as long
as I give in my best
By faith it
shall be accomplished
And it'll not
be judged by win or lose

ReplyDeleteyes dear, that's how God speaks.. the feeling is like you just know it, and that's it (that's one example of spiritual peace too). i've been praying for you that you will have that sharp ability to listen directly and correctly from God, because that's what God wants you to have, and i see you walking towards that path. i'm really pleased and encouraged. man, i think He is excited as He has LOTS of great things waiting to tell you once you know how to hear from Him! and along your journey with Him, i cant always be there to tell you, but your ears will be the source of downloads from God. and that will be the start of the big project He will be partnering with u! jiayou jiayou, woman of God!! hehe..keep me updated always! :)
