We just finished our first open cell event.. supposed to be a night cycling.. quite a lot of ppl turned up and we have 5 new comers which is cool. But unfortunately it rained the whole night island wide and we didn’t cycle and ended up prata-ing at upper Thomson.. I remembered I can’t sleep for a while after that and keep asking God, did we do something wrong? Maybe we really didn’t pray enough. But it was a pretty good night all in all, got opportunities to talk around, Nvm, there’ll be opportunities, another cycling , badminton, upcoming KTV.
Think sometimes I really do thread around God too much, thinking whether He’ll be unhappy because I didn’t do my quiet time. That’s not the way a Christian life should be. Pastor lim mentioned one thing :”Nobody can hinder you from God’s will in your life except yourself.” That’s true.. can only pray God help me to focus on Him and remove any thing that distracts me from Him and His word.
In one of Ps lim’s notes, he mentioned about the “dark night of the soul" that all of us go through. If we perseverve the morning of God's blessing comes. With death comes resurrection” “Pain is preparation. Pain can lead to gain if we will take the right attitude. When we develope patience we strengthen our hope. Paul says, we rejoice in hope, but we rejoice in tribulations also.” .. Rom 5:1-5. Coupled that with an image of a tree with roots deep in the desert mentioned in one of my QT, I pray God can help me be like that tree, in difficult times, tap deep in the river of life deep bottom and persevere through the diff times.
