The Life...

Gonna be leading a Student Leader's retreat soon...
As I pray & seek God, i can't help feeling some things...
In my body, i literally feel weak...sneezing & with a dry throat...
hoping hard that i do not come down with something...
but i think it's already in the works of being full blown!
Oh well...will try to make the best of it! Pls pray if you read this? =)

The Christian Life is not merely about being Informed by the word,
It's about being Transformed by Christ,
and Conformed to His Image!

"There is a way of ordering our mental life on more than one level at once. On one level, we may be thinking, discussing, seeing, calculating, meeting all the demands of external affairs. But deep within, behind the scenes, at a profounder level, we may also be in prayer and adoration, song and worship, and a gentle receptiveness to divine breathings."
~Thomas Kelly~

There is a certain adventure to the lives that we live,
and it involves a responsiveness to the promptings of the Holy Spirit,
sometimes, we call this a "sixth sense", "gut feel" or a "mere coincidence"
But i've realised that God takes us where we are...
and he gifts us with something we do not expect, then in our reaction,
we actually then...show what we truly believe...

The guidance of the Holy Spirit is not restricted to momentous decisions.
It is learned in our daily lives, practiced on a continual basis...
picked up when we choose to see God as God works,
not based on our logical, rational thoughts...
but based on Faith in a God who made the Laws,
yet in His divinity & wisdom, is able to circumvent them in inexplicable miracles

Do you see a coincidence? Or the hand of God at work?
Do you see someone meeting a need? or God planting providence as it is needed?
Do you see a lovely act? Is that man, or is it really God stirring the hearts of men?

The Lord will guide you continually
Isaiah 58:11

Make me to know your ways, O Lord,
teach me your paths.
Lead me in your truth, and teach me,
for you are the God of my salvation;
for you, I wait all day long
Psalm 25:4-5

Speak Lord, for your servant is listening
1 Samuel 3:10

God truly wants to disciple our hearts and our lives,
but are we truly ready & willing...
to listen, learn & be led by God?

May we always be humble & easy to lead.
I pray that for others and for myself...
Thank you Lord
