much much more
i learnt so much the past 2 days in Bible trail.prayer is important. i haven't been praying alot actually.
it's not that we forget God in our lives. it's not a memory problem.
the underlying reason is that we choose to live life without God.
that's our sinful mind.
we should stop cutting corners in our relationship with God.
Rev Schoof talked about Isaiah 43:1-2 today
here are a few points i learnt:
God knows us by name.
God cares for us much more than we can imagine.
God loves us much more than we can believe.
We are much more important to God than we realise.
He possesses us, so He will protect us.
Faith is designed to work best in weakness.
He wisely allows us to struggle.
And from Jeremiah 20 i learnt:
Even when Jeremiah felt betrayed by God,
the first thing he did was to talk to God.
Even though Jeremiah felt that God is weak,
but he proclaimed truths he knew about God.
Isaiah 43:1-2
But now thus says the LORD,
He who created you, O Jacob,
He who formed you, O Israel:
"Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by name, you are mine.
When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
And through the rivers,
They shall not overwhelm you;
When you walk through the fire you shall not be burned,
And the flame shall not consume you."
i think... that's the verse. verse 1.
written on her little 'home'.
i remember seeing it engraved there.
i think so.
a vague familiar memory.
help me to trust.
