Greater

To be able to receive greater things, we must go through training such that we will have the capacity to contain them.  These few weeks have been rather challenging in various aspects.  But I have the constant assurance that God’s in the picture & I should continue to walk closely with Him.

Indeed, there are days I feel like just pulling the blanket over my head & ignoring all things that are happening until it passes by.  Unfortunately, I’m never the kind who can stand by & do nothing.  The past 2 weeks were a very draining time for me at work & added onto that, the nightmares that kept waking me up throughout the nights.  The recent weekend was really one that I spent catching up big time on my rest & thank God for the 1.5 days of resting at home.  Thanks to those who have been praying for my recovery.  I felt like I was in a 60 year old body that required oiling as I woke up each morning with my body aching & bones creaking.  This morning, miraculously, the body aches disappeared & just in time for me to come back to work.  Boy, there were quite a few emails to clear today & many things to catch up on.

I’m praying for spiritual breakthroughs in my personal & ministry life.  I really need to see breakthroughs in all aspects.  Despite the challenges, God has been really faithful, allowing me to excel at work.  I’m so blessed to have colleagues who appreciate working as a team together & also to have colleagues who constantly encourage me in my personal walk with God.  What would I do without colleagues & friends who are believers that keep encouraging me to press on despite challenges.

I want to see & receive greater things in my life, to see God glorified to a much greater extent.  Indeed, there are many times when I’ve realised I can’t do anything but get down on my knees as He’s in control.  I recall waking up several times last night & the Lord laid certain things in my heart.  I was reminded not to focus on the problem but to focus on God.  So I started to thank God in all aspects of his character & sovereignty.  I ended up falling asleep on a patient, but loving Father through praise.  Indeed, I had a good rest, despite being disturbed last night continually – don’t ask me how I did it, but I know, it’s the start of being interrupted by God – as I have been for a few weeks already.
