- 'But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and the livestock that were with him in the ark, and he sent a wind over the earth, and the waters receded.' - Genesis 8:1.
'Within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your position, and you will put Pharaoh's cup in his hand, just as you used to do when you were his cupbearer. But when all goes well with you, remember me and show me kindness; mention me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison... The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot him.' - Genesis 40:13, 14, 23.
Smth I'd like to share concerning what the Holy Spirit has impressed upon my heart in the past few days, esp. after the recent leader's prayer meeting I attended (Pastor Dale shared a wonderful devotion on this), and also, after a hectic week, being bogged down by schwork, Retro Christmas, and... yes... my sore throat which has been bothering me since last week's flu.
Needless to say, when we are so caught up in caring for ourselves and many other things, we tend to forget God in the entire process. Personally, my lack of seeking the Almighty, in recent days, has brought abt much pain to both me and my family. Not dat God is using me as a benchmark (as if I'm being the righteous one), but its juz dat He wants to be so clear-cut to me abt not being able to live w/o Him. I thank God for the powerful sermon on Sunday, which reminded me of how we muz 'put a knife' to things dat are dear to us when God calls us to do it. Abraham, on the verge of sacrificing Issac, saw God's provision of a ram for burnt offering instead and the 'raising from the dead' of his only son. The relation of this msg. to wat I'm tokin abt is pretty simple - we muz FEAR God in order to remember Him and experience the better things He has in store for us.
I can testify abt God's faithfulness in answering my prayers during ytd's G12. One thing dat I always keep in prayer is the spiritual growth of my members, and PTL, I could sense the maturity of Wei Hoong, Wei Sheng and Lionel as I conversed them dat day during the session. Subsequently dat nite, God taught me a powerful lesson by inducing insomnia b4 I could fall aslp, and practically the entire nite I was asking God to breathe into me the breath of lullaby (although I did try doing those cheesy 'counting sheep' and 'taking deep breaths' techniques, but to no avail). I woke up like a reanimated zombie 2day, and was drifting in and out of slp esp. during my storyboarding lecture (which taught some pretty impt. stuff in 2day's lesson... *shucks*), which was the last period for 2day.
Still, I got home from sch praising and thanking God, though the chastisement He brought upon me was punishing to my phy. body (coupled w/ the sore throat). I dunnoe how I mustered the strength to give thanks, but I thank God for the Holy Spirit, the Great Comforter and Helper, who drove me to the throne of grace. Hallejuah!
God's grace truly is sufficient enough for us.
Imagine if God forgot Noah... he probably would haf had his funeral in the ark! Imagine if the Lord forgot Joseph... he would've died a prisoner w/o the fulfilment of God's promise. Today God remembers us; our prayers, promises, and problems. Haf u remembered to remember Him?
'When you go into battle in your own land against an enemy who is oppressing you, sound a blast on the trumpets. Then you will be remembered by the LORD your God and rescued from your enemies.' - Numbers 10:9.
Peace out & GB!
