Walk by faith
Post holidays is always a good time for reflection and reorganising of life’s priorities.
This little getaway has done me much good, it was a fantastic time of fellowship, feasting, recreational activities and honest sharing that truly blessed my heart.
The two days were stretched with minimal sleep, feeding time at an interval of three hours, too many activities to do and plenty of laughters from all around.
The sharing, especially, was so precious to me because the Holy Spirits were among us, working in all of us and giving us the patience to listen and the hearts to feel and empathise.
This is the epitome of ‘brotherly and sisterly love’ where there’s no judgement and rejection but love and acceptance.
I shared about how we often grapple with contentment. Life, is defined by material gains, will never reach a state where we are truly thankful for everything God has given us. Our list of ‘things we want’ is always increasing and how can we then be expected to be satisfied?
When I finally dragged myself home with the little energy I have left in me, I took a look at my humble abode and realised that if I ever were to compare myself with others instead of being thankful and finding joy in the Lord and trusting in His providence, I will be really miserable simply bexause according to the world’s standard, I really am quite pathetic.
But God reminded me to be contented and I have a cosy home, not a house. A loving family and not an incomplete one. A well paid job, considering my job scope and not a unchallenging role.
Let me be constantly reminded of your faithfulness,
your promises and goodness.
So that when Satan tempts me
And plant doubts within,
I will still walk by faith
and not by sight.
