30th March 2006,
1 You showed favor to your land, O LORD; you restored the fortunes of Jacob.
2 You forgave the iniquity of your people and covered all their sins.
3 You set aside all your wrath and turned from your fierce anger.
4 Restore us again, O God our Savior, and put away your displeasure toward us.
5 Will you be angry with us forever? Will you prolong your anger through all generations?
6 Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?
7 Show us your unfailing love, O LORD, and grant us your salvation.
8 I will listen to what God the LORD will say; he promises peace to his people, his saints— but let them not return to folly.
9 Surely his salvation is near those who fear him, that his glory may dwell in our land.
10 Love and faithfulness meet together; righteousness and peace kiss each other.
11 Faithfulness springs forth from the earth, and righteousness looks down from heaven.
12 The LORD will indeed give what is good, and our land will yield its harvest.
13 Righteousness goes before him and prepares the way for his steps.
Yesterday Combined Churches Prayer Rally at Fettes Park Baptist Church. It's good time of prayer, and I'm personally encouraged by the response and the prayer itself. We prayed based on Ps 85, start with repentance, prayer of restoration and ask God for personal revival of Faith, Hope and Passion. It's timely message. I'm touched, God has been so good- He has blessed us continually and being so patience with His children. We are like sheep has gone astray, each of us turning our own separate way. We hv missed Him, many times...with our personal agenda, how we build our own house, and pursue of the world. We have somehow lost the real meaning and purpose of our existance. With CWMC that I've learned and challenged on mission and sharing love to others.
I was just wondering and reflecting my life. Have I been a blessing in my workplace? Am I being a good subordinate and colleagues, am I a good boss? am I am a good employer to GMC? How is my encounter with others, my relationship, what Jesus trying to teach the disciple on "people perspective"...a glabal issue, am I faithful in that? What about pride? Hv I been proud in my own understanding and human wisdom and effort? How about spiritual pride? How is the measure of my love for Him?
Father....help me, let me decrease and You increase, work in me daily. Every day...that I will grow from strength to strength and from glory to glory. May I reflect your goodness, that my life will not be a shame to Your Name but to bring Glory to You. Not by might nor by power, but by Your Spirit. Thats' why we need of Your Spirit to work in us. Work in Your own special way...Amen!
