GOD'S MIGHT AND A WHISPER

these little rocks of Christ

Hey Everyone!!! Actually what I am about to share happened yesterday.

The day started smoothly and normally. So I thought to myself," Today is going to be great!!!" But I was about to be proven wrong. When I went for the SYDR choir practice, frustration overwhelmed the whole place, people rushing each other as we were about to start late for our practice. The picture painted on most of their faces was a moody one. As a result, my mood was adversly affected. However, I believe that our GOD OF WONDERS will indeed work WONDERS during the whole rally practice. And the first significant sign came when we pratised our P&W songs!!! Everyone started dancing and worshipping!!! Praise the Lord!!! The conviction of their praise and worshipping truly showed me the might of GOD and convinced me that HE was indeed in our midst. After the first part of P&W practice, we had a break. During the midst of the break, my mood hit rock bottom again. I was in deep thought about some issues. And i sat down at one corner. looking up the sky, silently talking to GOD, hoping to find my answer. Just then, the rest of the JUST KIDDING gang came up to me and asked me what was wrong. I want to take this opportunity to apologise to them because I did not sound my issue, reason being tis not the right time yet. For this, I want to join my ZJ bro Joel in thanksgiving to GOD for granting me this wonderful and awesome group of friends. And thus came the last part of the P&W practice. Everyone was worn out due to the long day of practice, including me. I thought to myself," no matter how tired I am, i will still praise and worship HIM with all my might!!!" Part of the reason I wanted to truly praise and worship him was because I wanted to find my answer. But that is just but one of the many reasons why I wanted to truly worship HIM at that point of time. And thus the songs of worship and praise were played. And at that point of time, my spirit was lifted up to heaven's height again!!! Not only me, but the whole entire choir. We were once again dancing. This reminds me of one of the verses of a song titled," This Is How We Overcome". It goes like this," You Have Turned Our MOURNING To DANCING". Indeed, HE has turned all our mourning into dancing and this further show GOD's MIGHT and WONDER, how he can truly lift our spirits up when we are down. But then, I did not receive the answer to my issue yet. But I did not lack faith. I BELIEVE HE will answer me as long as i kept my faith in HIM.

When I was on my way home, I looked at the sky because the clouds were breathtaking and very nice, which totally caught my attention. Just then, I was asking HIM again. And this time, my answer was found. A word was whispered in my heart. That word is, " HOPE". This reminded me of the session which i gave not long ago which is about HOPE and STRENGTH. But what I am about to highlight now is not the hope and strength, but rather how GOD speaks to us in the most gentlest of ways. GOD does not come in ways like wind, tempest and earthquake. But rather, GOD comes in gentle ways like a whisper, which is why sometimes it is not that GOD does not speak to us, but it is us who missed GOD's answer and calling. GOD always calls but we often close our heart. Open up your hearts and listen to his voice, harden not your heart. Always look to him in expectant faith and one day, you will experience his marvelous works in you!!! Thus, as long as one has faith in HIM, he/she will definitely hear GOD speaking through him/her.

And I also want to thank the Lord for protecting Joel's wrist!!! Praise The Lord!!! Joel.. all the best!!! Wish you a speedy recovery! And I also want to thank Jul, Jo and Kel for being there for me when i was feeling down. I promise I will tell all of you what my issue is when the time is right.

Last but not least, I want to remind everyone that although GOD is almighty, HE will always approach us in silent ways. So, my brothers and sisters, let us answer his call when he knocks gently at the doors of our hearts.

He said, "Go out and stand on the mountain before the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by." Now there was a great wind, so strong that it was splitting mountains breaking rocks into pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a sound of sheer silence. When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave to wait for the Lord.- 1 Kings 19:11-13
