Thy Will be Done!

No more hiding. No more running away. I surrender! I wish to write the details but i would leave that to another entry. Funny how we sometimes ask the same question to get a favorable response knowing that we'll still be lead to the same answer. When God said it, that settles it. It's final! We may take detours and be delayed but God's plan will still prevail. Everything that happens is either God-set or God-used. We may try to argue and bargain, but still we'll just end up hurting ourselves. So we might as well cooperate. "Whoever obeys his command will come to no harm, and the wise heart will know the proper time and procedure. For there is a proper time and procedure for every matter, though a person may be weighed down by misery." (Ecclesiastes 8:5-6)

And yes Lord, I am stepping up. To your grace I will cling to. No more excuses!

God would really send people to confirm the Word that you have received from Him. It may be from a random encounter from people you barely know, from a preaching of a Pastor/Priest or just through a conversation with a friend. Amazing how God can really make his presence and promise obvious. His Word becoming flesh, an experience that you wish not to let go of.

I had been asking the Lord why I am still in the Philippines. And I was directed to His Word given on the start of this year. I keep a pen and paper journal and was prompted to go back to my old devotions. Amazing how God will make us remember of the promise through His Word that has been spoken to us. It led me to Isaiah 61 and Joshua 1: 3-18.

In conclusion, I realize that everything that we ask/search for, has already been graciously given to us. As the Word has already been spoken so shall it be done. Isaiah 55:11 says, "So shall my word be that goes forth out of My mouth: it shall not return to me void (without producing effect, useless), but it shall accomplish that which I please and purpose, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it." Sometimes we don't really need a New Word. Sometimes we need to go back to an old promise and declare it to become a reality. What we need is a fresh revelation of a familiar WORD, for it to become a Glorious Experience- An Encounter.

As for me, am just grateful and humbled for His word that transforms and Am looking forward to more revelations and best days ahead.

Have a blessed Sunday!
