that's the theme for y180 this year and the title of aj's testimony (of which i've just read @ 8:20am!). it's about seeking God first and He will take care of the rest. We study not to aim for a wealthy future perspective (as told by parents) but in everything we do, to give honor and glory to God's name. He reminded me that i ought to place my trust in Him and thank you Lord that just as i was (procrastinating), You pointed me in the right and only direction. Re-reading Luke 12:24-34 was very convicting,
"If then God so clothe the grass, which is today in the field, and tomorrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith? And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. for all these things do the nations of the world see after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you . Fear not for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom." Luke 12:28-32
faith is total dependence on God and a willingness to do His will. It is complete humble obedience to God's will, readiness to do whatever He calls us to do. The amount of faith isn't as important as the right kind of faith - faith in our all-powerful God (taken from Life Applications Bible comment Luke 17:5,6).
last night's interview with Leonard Ravenhill on revival was a great lesson too. unfortunately some parts i tuned out cos the accent was a little hard to comprehend (hope i didn't miss out the important parts), he said we don't understand God's word enough. a simple example was able to make me to think twice "hey what else am i stuffing up on! how much am i grieving God?" ants crawled down my spine.
to think i almost skipped regen last night, to think i almost missed out on the lesson God wanted me to learn (by my own admission with no one to blame on judgement day). i pray that its not mental decision, but true life changing. and the only strength to keep me on this narrow path comes from God. Lord please lead the way.
"For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." Luke 12:34
just a little note, we finally confirmed our flights last night. thank God for guiding us through the decision making process as rowas n i were tossing between sure and unsure. like you'd stand on the boarder line between two countries one minute russian another chinese. i can only serve one master and when i am not serving Him, i am betraying Him.
