The pairs

And Jesus sent His disciples out in pairs to do His work, according to the Bible.Sitting on the bus this morning on my way to work, I was looking out of the window. And I saw that the mynahs too, go out in pairs as they go about their little bird-ways, doing their bird work. It was like a confirmation of sorts of the validity of God's word. I'm such a difficult person. I need confirmation from God, then double confirmation and triple affirmation before I'm fully convinced. But I'm working on my Doubting-Thomas like mentality.

Oh, and another thing happened on the bus ride to work this morning. I was feeling so tired from all the things going on in my life - work, rally practices, catechism which I am supposed to teach this week, meeting up with my friends, personal ISSUES. So I started asking God to show me why I'm doing all this, for the reason for my doing all these things. (I realise now that I was being a Martha!) And the next thing I knew, the song that began playing on my player was 'How Great Is Our God'.

I didn't realise that He was trying to talk to me through the song until this line repeated itself several times in the chorus:

How great is our God, sing with me, how great is our God.Sing with me, how great, how great is our God!

Then it just hit me that I was doing all this work for Him! Because He's so great, as the song reminded me! It never ceases to amaze me how God tells me so much, if only I were to listen and be aware. This morning's realisation amazed me all over again, as if it were the first time He had spoken to me to reassure me.The Lord is indeed active in our lives! He works in His little ways to let me - or rather, us - know that He is present. :) The mynahs indeed!
