Humble yourself under the Mighty Hand of God
*Clears Cobweb off blog*
I cannot believe how long it has been since I last blogged,
considering that I used to be such a regular blogger.
I'm not gonna run away this time. I'm gona stick my rear to the chair, my
hands on the keyboard and keep my eyes on this screen.
Yes! IM FINALLY GONNA BLOG! (let's just hope that I manage to even finish
this entry,haha!:P)
The reason why I came here was just to write down something that I want to
remind myself. But since I'm here, might as well update a little about my life.
Someone reminded me lately about how blessed I am to be where I am.
To be given the opportunity and privilege to do the things that I do.
Particularly, I'm very excited about being involved in the upcoming Church Chinese Album:)
It's gonna rock! I love the songs cos for once they do not sound
that "churchy" and more contemporary:) Thanks to our gifted song writer.
But there are still many things that are left undone,unsaid in my life.
Which I'm afraid to even think about.
So somehow this verse came to my mind,
"Humble yourself under the Mighty hand of God, that He may Exalt you in due time."
1Peter 5:6
I need to remember this. Because this was what I held on to tightly
before I had ANYTHING.Before I had an opportunity, a privilege.
But once I started having many things, I started to feel that I don't want to lose them.
Honestly, I came to a point that I felt I have to maintain what I have.
That isn't a good feeling to have cos seriously without God, I really got nothing.
I have no strength to maintain what I have.
So, it's back to this verse again.
I read that under "The Message" version,
"Humble yourself" = "Be Content with who you are, and don't put on airs."
Interesting isn't it.
And I realised also that actually there's a comma at the end of the sentence.
It wasn't a full stop as what I've always thought it to be.
"Humble yourself under the Mighty hand of God, that He may Exalt you in due time,
Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you."
Wow.
Right in line with what Pastor has been preaching.
To just rest and not be troubled.
Because God cares for me, I can cast all my cares upon Him
and that's where I find my confidence to just be content with who I am,
so that when it's time to Promote me, He will do it.
That's my security.
I'm too much of a worrier. It's good to be told that I don't even have to worry
cos Someone is doing the job for me already.
Hmm:)
