What a day

First of all, bear with me. I'm pissed because I lost my concession pass! Damn is the word! Just as when the semester is closing, I lost it, for the first time in my life. :s I think I'm not acquainted with concession passes. My mum threw away the secondary one accidentally when she threw away my table. Now I lost this tertiary pass. I AM ANGRY! Don't know at who though.

Anyway, I enjoyed the worship service today. Pastor John Snelgrove from The Vine Christian Fellowship, Hong Kong, preached on A Promise Delayed. During altar call, as I was standing at the altar, I realised how myopic I have been.

I remembered God gave me Jeremiah 29:11 & Isaiah 55:8-9 when I got my 'A' levels results:

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. (Jer. 29:11)

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD.
"As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.
(Is. 55:8-9)

God somehow told me that I've been looking at things in the short term. I should envision further... look in the long run.

As Pastor Snelgrove prayed for me, He prayed to enlarge my vision! God confirmed what He was speaking to me. I can't help but start to tear again. The promises God made, the journey of it coming to pass, they just made me feel so loved, so cared for.

Seeing the life of Abraham, the father of faith, reminded me to be like Him: to trust God & His promises whether or not I see the promises come to pass. The promise God made will come to pass for sure, whether in our generation or the next. It will.

Let me remember what You spoke today, Lord. In Jesus' name I give You all the glory. Amen!
