Im glad that im maintaining a consistent QT over here in Taipei. It has become a habit to spend at least 10mins a day in the morning jus to come before God and read his word. This habit has helped me to be more aware and sensitive to Gods presence n leading thruout the day.
Now its 825am. I jus finished reading my QT materials. The topic is on handling losses and the passage used is Job 1:1-22. We all know the story of Job, where his family, possessions and everithing was taken away from him. IIT was a huge tragedy, but it did not stopped Job from worshipping and praising God. He did not sin by blaming God. One thing mentioned was that he mourned initially because of his loss. We are encouraged to slow down n mourn for our losses. There is a time for mourning. BUt after that, he worshipped God in the midst of his loss.
What I have learnt and gained from this QT is that we can praise God in all circumstances. I remember the last time I cried was when I missed home one week ago. I just felt like I was so far away from home. My tears jus flowed and I didn hold back because I know that there is nothing wrong with guys crying. I jus did not like to cry in front of too many people because I do not wan to affect them. Even though I was crying, deep in my heart I am glad that I am here experiencing all these. I believe God has a purpose for me in Taiwan. Each day I am praying, searching and asking God to lead me, what to do and how to reach out to ppl in Taipei.
So, as I planned my free time for the coming 2 to 3 months, God is the main planner. I want to do things which will last, and not things which will pass away after this life. Investing time in saving the souls of men and reading the Bible are 2 things which definitely wont go wrong. Exactly how I am goin to do that, May God lead me. I am considering to go to Sanwan Village, Miaoli to continue my work the last time round. Or maybe I should jus stay in Taipei to follow New Life Church to do the outreach work in NTUST. Whatever it is, I am happy and not worried because I know God is in control of my life.
Praise and Glory be to God
