THE END...
Psalm 23
A psalm of David.
1. The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
2. He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters, 3. he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, for you are with me;
your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
5. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
6. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
i love this psalm. the twenty-third psalm.
the LORD revealed to me something this week through this psalm. well, i asked the LORD a question, "You told me that goodness, love and your blessing will follow me all the days of my life; why then am i not seeing the promise?"
he brought me to this psalm.
i read verse 1 to 2. he told me that our journey with Him begins with a trust in Him, that in the LORD, we will have no lack. In Him, we will have a place to stay and rest and food to eat. A trust to know His provision over our lives.
then i read verse 3. He told me that with this trust we are then ready to walk the path the LORD had prepared for us- the path of rightousness, the path which our faith will be put to test; a path where finally ourselves to cease; a path of death to our flesh.
that's why in the following two verses, the psalmist describes this path as one that is like the valley of the shadow of death; one which is uncertain, uneasy, unknown and uncomfortable; one we know for sure our flesh will resist it to the fullest. yet there is a determination from the psalmist to walk this path cos he has trusted in God and wanted to exalt His Holy Name. He believesthat the LORD is there with him even in face of the greatest trial and danger. In Him, though the path is dark, there is no fear but comfort.
Verse 5 continues to declare the LORD's blessing in his life till his cup overflow. He finally ends off with verse 6-Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.- a declaration of faith and confidence of the LORD's love and blessing forever.
I know that the LORD has taken these 8 years to show me how much He loves and cares for me. I have grown to believe that in Him, i will have not lack but plenty. yet now, i know that He is inviting me to this path of righteousness. My foundation of faith will be tested. My flesh will have to yield, my spirit strengthen. I know that I will come out walking even closer with Him. I am excited. really excited. I want to know His heart. That has always been my prayer. I am ready LORD. lead me. i will walk this path you have marked out for me; this new path, for your name sake. your Cross is my strength and grace. i love you Jesus.
sharing with you a little journey of mine last week.I finally received my ballot result for my flat at jalan membina last sunday nite; after a waiting period of almost 3 months. in this 3 months, i had 3 dreams that i got the flat and i knew my faith was really surging. in fact, from the beginning, i had been declaring that it is done. i have gotten the flat in the spiritual realm cos my God had given it to me. really my heart was really anticipating for the day of the release of the results.with much anticipation, jeanie and i clicked on the result button. much to our disappointment, we got a queue number of 2277. there are a total of 430+ flats and 3000 over people who had ballotted. we are 2277. that was really unexpected. my heart sank and did not know how to respond. just didn't know how. my emotion is not ready for the unexpected. my faith did not allow me to feel this way. i was very much speechless. i thought i was in a dream and i wanted to wake up. slowly, reality sank in the next day. i began to feel really confused and disappointed. "what had happened?" "didn't i hear His promise?" then slowly from these questions, i started to have thoughts like "did He withhold his blessing from us?" and "did God play me out?" "why did He let this happened? 1.5 years of flat-searching. i thought i have surrendered each to you. why?" I struggled. my spirit was weary. it wanted to be angry. it wanted to blame. it wanted to curse. it wanted to run and hide. i was in this state for one day. my spirit grieved for it felt so lost. i have never ignored the Lord since i knew Him 8 years back. strangely, it just felt terrible ignoring Him despite my disappointment.i asked myself many questions and i came to a conclusion, "Despite what happened, i cannot nullify His reality, His love and blessing in my life after walking with Him for these many years" i felt a relief in my heart the moment i uttered these words to jeanie over the phone. i felt His tears. I felt mine too. I felt freedom. I know that I will trust Him no matter what. this is how i will live cos i didn't know how else. Then i kind of able to identify how Abraham felt when He waited 16 years for Isaac, the promised son. He had waited and waited in faith. He must have had countless disappointment with God. Yet this father of mine, continued to trust His God cos despite his disappointment, he could never negate the reality, love and blessing of God in His life. He trusted cos he didn't know how else to live. he knew he could never walked away from Him.
