"Captured" by Him and for Him
I'm bored. So i decided to do some open reflections apart from those jotted down regularly in my book.
1. Am I willing to be totally CAPTURED by God's plan for my life?
-Yes, coz i know with my own strength and efforts, no matter how hard i try, i can't/won't know the big picture. All i know is that God wants our faith, our little faith, to just walk in step with Him and hear each guided instruction He's giving. It's been proven..and i'm happy. Anyway, what's His plan for our lives? It's definitely more meaningful than we think. i'm beginning to look at my life. Am i constantly inward-looking (only in the house of God), or am i looking outside, at the lost sheep??? I was reminded today, that "Salvation is the work of God for man; it is not the work of man for God." by Lewis Sperry Chafer. When we gather the harvest...we are not doing God a favour. This is our responsibility. This is what God has placed us here for.
2. Am I willing to just rest in God as the storms of my life pass?
-I have to. Coz if i don't, i'll be on the verge of breakdown. Why is God larger than my life? Because he is the air we breathe. He is our daily bread. He is our all-sufficient provider. Many times, we know this, but occassionally we let our human feelings get the better of us. We need daily conscious effort to wait, be patient, rest in the Lord, and believe that He knows what we need, what we want, and he'll provide.
"When the oceans rise and thunders roar, i will soar with u above the storm, Father u are King over the flood, i will be still, know you are God."
