Week 77 - 1st week of Year 2 Sem 2
3 takeaway points this week. Going to be a bit choleric here, indeed God has spoken in different ways, different measures to me this week, to help me get started in an appropriate manner. These 3 points represent 3 very real issues that we may all face, and to be frank, i know i will be tested yet again.
The season in my life is: Perserverance
1. Don't forget me, says the Lord, even as we perservere
Philippians 3:12-21 (New International Version)
Pressing on Toward the Goal
12Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. 13Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
15All of us who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you. 16Only let us live up to what we have already attained.
17Join with others in following my example, brothers, and take note of those who live according to the pattern we gave you. 18For, as I have often told you before and now say again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. 19Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is on earthly things. 20But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.
Indeed, throughout the week there are little snippets of time where i get a bit more engrossed with my sch work and my plans that my relationship with God has thrown a little off balance.
Love the times when God uses LITTLE circumstances (not big ones) to humble me and keep me soft at heart. Even as i am humbled, i know i need to be.
2. Purity (stepping out of comfort sheltered zone)
The first thought that sprung to my mind when i went for my first seminar was: kuang ting (in an unpleasant eeky distasteful voice), "welcome" back...
I was reminded many things and if there's anything that is sobering, this would be the no.1 thing as i was reminded of this big hindrance that stands before our relationship with God once again, that will continue to test and pester even as God has made His people, including myself, stronger. The p&W song that goes: A pure heart, that's what i long for... a heart that follows hard after thee... I want to keep it in my mind. After all, we are not fighting with the weapons of this world. Our war is a spiritual war.
Psalm 119:9-11 (New International Version)
b Beth
9 How can a young man keep his way pure?
By living according to your word.
10 I seek you with all my heart;
do not let me stray from your commands.
11 I have hidden your word in my heart
that I might not sin against you.
3. Add/drop (Miracles and interventions)
Thanks to Weeboon, many of us were able to use an automated add drop programme that allowed us to camp for our desired module. God dropped a word at the beginning of the week that i should not worry about this thing and let Him do His work, as i had better things to concern myself with.
On Wednesday, i received a pleasant surprise. 10am, i went in to start the programme, and i happened to see ONE SLOT. One slot, at exactly the index no i wanted, among all other slots which remained empty for huge periods of time. I successfully added that module in. Amazing God.
On Friday 12am, the one other module i was camping for suddenly had a slot too! It was after Sub-d, and apparently not worrying for this paid dividends. But, as it turned out, Friday 10am someone else took that module. Still, PTL!
I thank God for showing me how He works in His timing. Still, we have to plan our schedules and prepare ourselves, but as we know,
Proverbs 16:9 (New International Version)
9 In his heart a man plans his course,
but the LORD determines his steps.
Looking forward to greater days with You. Love You.
Blessed,
KuangTing
