...the news of so many people getting/not getting replies from the unis I hear. Getting slightly edgy.
But somehow, somehow I know, especially after today's meeting with sister Nita, that God is in total control, that He holds my future in His hands, He is cares about my cares too. But yet when Jesus invades our lives, everything we once found important no longer seem important. It really struck me at that point. The fishermen-turned-disciples; they must have, at that precise point in time, found out how futile their jobs as fishermen was. At that very point in time, they figured something, had such a revelation that would change them for the rest of their lives and for the rest of eternity - that Jesus was the Messiah, and all their lives were given to Him and His cause-souls.
So the key question is this: Has Jesus truly invaded my life? Or rather, have I allowed Him to? Or has the cares of this world invaded and took the space where the Lord was to be seated as Lord?
Has Jesus become my occupation or has my occupation? PUN! :)
i.e. As a student: studying, scoring, cca-ing, promotion.
As an adult: working, earning money, family, promotion.
As one in limbo aka not studying not working: worrying about getting into uni, trying to earn some pocket money, occupying time with mini projects and assignments etc.
Just a little song that floated into my head when I was pondering over uni admissions. Learnt it from a musical when in primary school.
Trust in God, He never changes
He loves you like your earthly father cares
Trust in God, He never changes
He loves you and He knew you
Before your life began.
"My frame was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them.
How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them!
If I shout count them, they would be more in number than the sand; when I awake, I am still with You." - Psalm 139:13-16
As we allow God to invade our lives, let's begin to see like the disciples more than 2000 years back, that there is more to what we are busy in life with, which are very many things. Let's begin to see the truly important things- following Jesus and fishing man! Let's seek His face and begin seeing REVIVAL and HIS GLORY flood CHUNG CHENG HIGH.
