Hi everyone,
Happy Chinese New Year! =)
Here to share God has been speaking to me through the reading of the psalms...
2 things:
1) Through the reading of the psalms, it helps me to pray to God. The psalmists are often very honest with God and pour out their feelings and thoughts and troubles to God. I am learning to tell God what I think and feel and worry about as the psalmists do.
2)
Psalm 33:10 -11 really struck me when I read it.
Psalm 33:10 -11
10 The LORD foils the plans of the nations; he thwarts the purposes of the peoples.
11 But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations.
I am struck by the truth that it is only God's plans and purposes stand firm forever and have eternal value. All my own purposes and plans that are not in line with God's purposes have only temporal value.
It causes me to think about my life: am I living my life with God's plans and purposes? What is God's plans and purposes?
Psalm 39:6 spoke to me as well.
Psalm 39:6
Man is a mere phantom as he goes to and fro: He bustles about, but only in vain; he heaps up wealth, not knowing who will get it.
Psalm 39:6 describes A LOT of people, even ourselves, very well. We spend so much of our time on our work and our studies forgetting God when all of the 'wealth' will be left behind when we pass away.
God has really asked me to examine my own life and my purposes through His Word.
For myself, this past year since I started work, I have been distracted and caught up by work and have lost some focus on God's kingdom and purposes. I want to focus on God's kingdom and purposes in my life.
Some of the purposes of God that He has reminded me of is: winning people to know God, praying for people and for God's purposes in my life, spending time with people I love (and God loves), worshipping God, building and blessing my family and spiritual family.
Prayer: Dear God, I don't want to live my life and build treasures on earth that are temporal. I want my life to fulfil your purposes for my life. I want my life to be a meaningful one. I don't want to live my life and regret it. Please show me more and more Your purposes for my life. Thank you God.
