A reflection of 2007
In recent time, I have been feeling on a roller coaster ride, in a sense that sometimes I can felt so good & loved by God but the next moment, it slipped my mind, & I'll feel bad & self-defeated. Well, I guess I haven't spend enough time with God & things in my life hasn't be flourishing. But as I was looking through my postings this year, God comforted me with this verse:Habakkuk 3:17-19
Though the fig tree does not bud
and there are no grapes on the vines,
though the olive crop fails
and the fields produce no food,
though there are no sheep in the pen
and no cattle in the stalls,
yet I will rejoice in the LORD,
I will be joyful in God my Savior.
The Sovereign LORD is my strength;
he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
he enables me to go on the heights.
That is the attitude I have to carry: to rejoice & put my hope in the Lord although things may seem bad in life. In fact, after last night's Watch Night Service in church, I somehow believe that this period of plateau is a preparation & anticipation of what is to come (which I will talk about it in my next post).
I thank God that I experienced a lot of Him this year. Little revelations here & there, God's goodness in bringing me through tough times... Indeed, God has been good. Who else can be good other than Him.
Lord, may I continue to grow... grow for You & becoming more & more like You. Use it for Your glory, Lord. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen!
