It seems like everybody is speculating! That's what I was fearful of! Becoz it means nothing constructive to me but just unnecessary pressure! But then I'm glad that their speculation is a step behind me! So it's pretty irrelevant! Haha! Try harder people! Be surprised becoz even I myself may be surprised!
Today, Pastor Edwin was talking along this verse, "if the Lord speaks (reprimand) to us, do not harden our hearts." He gave 3 ways to allow us not to have a harden heart but a soft and tender heart. Firstly is to build our faith in God's past providence. Secondly is to build our trust in God's faithfulness in our present providence. And thirdly, hmmmm didn't quite catch that one! I was lost in my own thoughts and the Lord is speaking to me. God is reprimanding me about certain issues in my life and I have to say, I chose to harden my heart and ignore Him. And God really spoke into my heart and I felt convicted that I have taken His grace for granted. And another thing I was concerned abt was my future- my carreer in particular. After I reconciled with God personally, I went up for altar call to be prayed for in this area. Wing Hong and Robert prayed for me. And I really thank God for speaking thru them. From the start till to end, they pray nothing abt asking God to show me what career I shoud go into. They simply prayed along asking me to place my trust and faith in God's providence of my future career, partner, etc. And they sayed the same thing to me which gave me a really wake up call. Don't look to the Left, Don't look to Right! Look towards God! I guess many a times, that's what I have been doing. I doubt and I seek '2nd opinion'. I trust in my own judgement, feelings, expectations, other people's expectation then in God's choice. He chose me, He knows me the best, He will choose the best for me! Career, partner.... All these are merely ways for me to serve You in a greater way and to give You glory. So whatever it is, whoever she is, I know You have the best for me. May I not look to the left nor right but look to You! Amen!
