Inspired by a kindred spirit.
Read my first posting entitled 'Splashes of Grace' in April 2009 and you will know how I was inspired to start this blog.God bless you!
This was written for a special friend years back. Just sharing it here. It is called HOLD ON
You inspire me to do what's right, Teaching ways, no one else care to tell me, Helping me not to lose my sight, Bringing truths that can set me free.
Hold on, darling, hold on to Jesus, He knows what you are going through, Though you think you are in pieces, Jesus is there to put it all back; His Words are true.
Then the word of the Lord came by Haggai the prophet saying, ‘Is it time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, and this temple to lie in ruins?’ Now therefore, thus says the Lord of hosts: "Consider your ways! You have sown much, and bring in little; you eat, but do not have enough; you drink, but you are not filled with drink; you clothe yourselves, but no one is warm; and he who earns wages, earns wages to put into a bag with holes.’ Thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘Consider your ways! Go up to the mountains and bring wood and build the temple, that I may take pleasure in it and be glorified,’ says the Lord. - Haggai 1:3-8. Read this verse for my devotion and it made me paused to ponder on the relationship I have with God and the priority that I should have in living my life for His glory and pleasure. A nudge from the Holy Spirit awakens my spirit man. Empty words filled my mouth but a circling storyboard of my walk with My Father fills my mind. Nothing more that I can express in writing at this moment, till then....... God Bless!
This song reminds me of their earlier title 'Touching Heaven Changing Earth'. Powerful statement that shows us the transmission of power from the One above to His children on earth to make a difference for Him and through Him. Christ rule and reign on earth and in heaven and one day He'll come again. Be prepared, watch and pray. Be blessed! Watch and sing with them.
I read this verse this morning and I pray as you read this, you too will continue to pursue Him and take your rest in Him. Lie down in the green pasture that He has provided for you and me and be restored. Job 11:13, 15, 18
" If you devote your heart to Him and stretch out your hands to him... then you will lift up your face without shame; you will stand firm and without fear... You will be secure, because there is hope; you will look about you and take your rest in safety.
A prayer was made as I placed my tithes in the offering bag, letting go the 10% of my salary and was left with less than RM20 to carry through another ten days before my paycheck. A year back I borrowed a relatively large sum of money from a friend and have not return the debt eversince. This year I felt an urgency of returning what I owe but finances was not making it possible for me. But little did I know that God has set this blessed answered prayer on its way to me. One morning I received a phone call that I will be receiving an amount that was the exact amount to what I have owed and God blessed me another 33% more on top of it just for me. Immediately I knew He, my Jehovah Jireh provided a way for me to repay my debts. That was my huge splash of grace which overwhelmed my heart and I want to give Him the honor and glory.
I would like to proclaim His sovereignty and awesomeness of His majesty through this song - The Revelation Song sung by Kari Jobe. How God of Miracles work in His own special way. Thank you Jesus. Enjoy this song.
My prayer and song unto the Lord today. "O Lord, open my eyes to see your glory, not to forget Your sacrifice on the cross, open my heart to know your love and be closer to You. Waiting on Your voice to lead me to the path You want me to be in. In quietness I submit myself to You, Lord take over. I worship You only, my Father, my Saviour.
Saviour of my soul I worship You as God alone Greater love has made a way to You
I could not forget The moment I in faith confessed For my sin You died and rose again
I believe every word You say Father God with all my heart I sing
Open my eyes I want to see Your glory Your glory Lord I open my heart I want to be closer closer to You
Here I am again I find my strength in drawing near You have heard the desperate cry in me
And as I wait on You my God I'll know the voice of truth In quietness I am in awe And as I worship You my Lord I understand the cross The sacrifice of God
But Jesus said, "Let the children alone, and do not hinder them from coming to Me; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." Matthew 19:14 (NAS)
A well drawn picture of Jesus with the children. How nice to be in His presence.
Just as David says "Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked." Psalms 84:10
This expression speaks of the depth and experiential love that David has for God. 'Rather be a doorkeeper'- though thats the lowest place in the house of God based on this picture spoken but it is compared to be better than the highest position among the godless. Almost like saying it is God's wrath is better than the devil's temptations. Sometimes words alone just cannot explain the meaning of it. The close relationship and proximity births out the longing for His presence. And a desire to please God above all else. David has the greatest poetic expressions, songs and proclaimations of his love towards His loving Father. That is the kind of love we should strive for in our relationship with our Father God.
