Trust the Seasons; why not God?
I'm supposed to be preparing for worship ministry meeting, but need to put down my thoughts. Maybe let off some steam :(
These few weeks have been a blank. Yea working takes away your time to think; to really sit down and think. My sis said when people start working, their hearts really harden. Yea, coz there's less time to get in touch with ur emotions. Yet, at times it felt like an emo coaster still. Thank you all who were just there. No idea man; no idea how grateful I am.
Crossroads. To the left is the path that ends up in hell. For those who gave up following Him and chose the dark side. Because of what they see at the crossroads, they want the easy way out. Not a nice ending though. To the right is heaven. The journey seems impossible though. But of course. Only the God of miracles can carry them through. Signboards show His unending grace; it's always there. We just gotta choose.
What determines who go left or right? Faith. Lose it; turn left. Choose to believe? Proceed to the way everlasting.
Here i am standing at the crossroads. At times, it's easy to trust in the Lord and say: 'Yes I'll keep running after You." The next second, as I start talking about stuff, I get so angry. I realise there's still so much bitterness and disappointment. Talking or thinking about stuff makes my blood boil. Fine it's my fault; but didn't I try to do something about it?
Sometimes, it's not nice if I have to lead people to worship the One whom I myself feel disappointed and angry with. Each time I have to step on stage to lead worship or plan worship stuff, I have to humble myself before Him and pray: "Lord take my anger away. I know there's a blindspot I'm missing out, and this disappointment in me is uncalled for, because I know You are good always. I choose to leave it at the foot of the cross and surrender everything to You as You use me."
"Do the same now, as I prepare for the meeting."
The path to hell ironically looks tempting, since along the way, I don't have to please the One whom I'm disappointed with.
"Lord give me grace. Grace to hang on to You. To CHOOSE You. To TRUST You."
Yea God's as faithful as the changing seasons. As sure as spring comes after winter, surely He will turn our mourning into dancing.
From the Purpose driven devotional:
Read this sentence three times: “The Truth is not dependent on my ability to understand what is going on.” (OK, go back and really repeat it three times!) Let God interpret the facts; let him explain the situation. Meanwhile, focus on God and not on your limited ability to understand events or circumstances. “So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” (2 Corinthians 4:18 NIV)
