You know, today's edge sermon was so good. Really. I mean, it was about unity and all, but i don't know why it hit my heartstrings (such a nice word! haha..) It was a highly reflective sermon, at times too reflective that i didn't hear parts of the sermon. But still.. i guess what was preached was what i had been sub-conciously thinking about so much these few days.
Jeremy said something about Living for the moment. Then i thot of like, what Caleb was doing the day before they finally went in to the promised land. You know, like, he knew it was coming.. and what did he do the day before? Like, 85 years old, did he rock in his rocking chair, smoking and drinking jim, cool and calm about everything.. or did he take out his sword, polish it, keep on reminding his children, descendants, that they were going in to win and take over the promised portion bound to them.
I think he did the latter. 85 years old, still highly energetic, hopeful, confident, just waiting for the morning to come.. I guess he couldn't sleep at night.. tossing and turning. All becos he believed in the moment. Believed the promise of God. SO MUCH so that it compelled him to such excitement, to such faith.. and confidence of taking the land. I bet he did a count down after they were denied the promised land for 40 years. He must have had some calender thingy that went like 10354 days to the promised land.
He must have done all he could to prepare.. and i know he did prepare.. cos he trusted God so much so much.. and he knew the moment was coming. All this becos he trusted, he knew that God was faithful.. and he believed the moment.. the payday for him.
I then thought bout my own life.. like, i know my payday is coming.. my moment.. our moment. I mean God promised us the harvest. We may not know the actual day.. but we know its coming.. infact, its already amongst us. I realised that if i'm not excited about it, i dun do anything about it.. then it shows one thing. I don't trust God alot then. My faith in Him, in what He says, well.. it isn't all that strong then. And without faith it is impossible to please God.
Haha, then, after i realised that, i realised that i wasn't listening to jeremy anymore.. haha, so i started listening to sermon again. haha.. but a good reflection huh??
Payday's coming people.. let's rock this nation for God. Imagine, everywhere you turn to, you can't turn away from Him. that's what we want isn't it? A sister once told me about how in Canada, every street has one starbucks. EVERY STREET. Like, Jurong West st 43 has one.. 42 has another one. You can't run from it. Imagine that for churches that preach the God of the bible.. that's sold out for Him. WOW.
WOW. Honestly. WOW. So amazing.. we'll be practically living in one big church. Cos everywhere we turn to, God's there. Drug addicts, runaways, the brokenhearted, the drunks.. no matter where they try to run, they can't hide from His presence. They will turn from their wicked ways and to Him.
WOW. Payday's coming.. let's start working..
