Faithful but….
Had a shift in perspective this week about the difference between faithfulness an devotion.
Rom shared with us from Acts 17:16-32. Paul saw that the people in Athens were deeply religious but worshipped an “unknown God” . He challenged us to ask ourselves whether we have been faithful and devoted to the Lord.
We can be faithful in the roles assigned to us, doing it well, professionally but maybe we have done all these things religiously to an “unknown God” , or we have done it just out of our own efforts to show off our capabilities?
It is a very real thing to ask ourselves..Just between us and God.
Another thing that came to my mind was..where does out identity lie?
who are we when there is no S&P, no BLC, no events, no cg, no service to prepare for.
Without all these..
Can we truly say that we have a relationship with God? what is it like?
Genuine?
Have i been genuine as a friend?
have i fed any emotions that should not have been fed?
Have i not corrected someone when they need to be corrected?
HAve i loved?
Revival of the dead blog!
Nope! i didn’t stop blogging.
just that the HTML was messed up and i just deleted everything and it has a limit for photos…so sad..
think i’ll be going back to blogspot soon. Will keep you posted
MIMBY ended 2 weeks ago and immediately after that preparations started for they next MIMBY (DEc 09′) and also Christmasing 09′!! some see it as exciting , some see it as having no space to breathe.
But hey another opportunity to share the gospel!
Something that i learnt from this MIMBY is the importance of having to spend time with the Lord all the more in the midst of busyness.
Ending work late and rushing for practice , ending late and going home, bathe sleep and working again the next day was routine and i was just going thru the motions.
about 1 or 2 weeks before the actual event, i got really tired and emo at one point that i asked myself why in the world am i doing this??
i knew that the moment i said that, my focus was lost and had to realign by spending time with the Lord.
David said in Psalm 27:4
“One thing I ask of the LORD,
this is what I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the LORD
all the days of my life,
to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD
and to seek him in his temple.”
He knew what was important.
I pray that all of us do too.
