thank you lord...

was sitting in prayer on Wednesday and thinking of events that have passed and I suppose that night what struck me was the passing away of A.Dot's father. How God's grace actually works and that He indeed loves those He has chosen. I guess it was compounded with the sharing of Psalms 27 and the singing of Day by Day...

Ps 27:4 "One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple."

Help me to speak this words like the Psalmist...what an amazing desire. How does one speak of that unless He has seen the Lord work through His life...

Anyway God will save in His time. Was just thinking of How the late Mr Tan on his deathbed trusted the Lord will carry Him home. And i was relating this to my brothers at home. I thank God for saving me, but my bros would they wait till on their deathbed to regret all they've done and finally realise God had been at the doors of their hearts? I suppose not just my bros but to many others i know in church who have made bad choices and are living the consequences of it.

Anyway while on the pew that night this prayer was running through my mind...

I thank you for darkness because without it we won't appreciate your light
I thank you for sorrows for without it happiness in you would be our desire
I thank you for moments where we were in sin for without it we won't understand your mercies and what it means to be forgiven
I thank you for bad choices in our lives for without them we would never have seen your grace and the workings of your hand
I thank you for disappointments for without them we'd never understand what it means to keep looking at christ
I thank your for doubts and uncertainties for without them we'd never learn how to trust in the Holy Spirit's leading
I thank you for your silence for in it brings forth the patience to wait upon you Lord
But most of all I thank you for your Salvation for without which we'd never be able to utter praise to you God and creator of everything

At times even when we least expect it, God will give u a song... sometimes the Lord just wants you to let Him worry for you. Let it go to Him. The more I keep looking at others the more frustrated I become. The more I compare others the more irritated I'd be. I'm definitely like Martha who busied herself all day and sad to say I'm not like Mary who chose to stay at His feet.

Day by day with each and passing moment strength I find to meet my trials here....
Trusting in my father's wise bestowment, I've no cause for worry of for fear....

I just have to let it go...Let Him call and convict while I just keep to my walk and live the talk and to remember that He is sovereign and in control. How easy it is to just be discouraged and just say I give up...but yea thank God for times like this....
