Spiritual warfare
wow.. it's been another long period of time since i last posted.. lots have happened but i'm too unmotivated to blog.. possibly coz no one really reads this.. (dun get offended whoever does ok?) but yar.. exams finished last sat.. really thank God that all went well.. results are in His hands.. i dun have to worry about them.. which is i find really comforting... soso.. that's it for uni life.. wow.. another phase in my life begins.. going back to S'pore for good maybe 23rd dec or 24th depending if the flight on 23rd clears up or not.. anyway, the title of this post sounds super serious yar? well.. it kind of is.. tomorrow i'll be leading worship @ OCF for the first (& last) time.. and me and my friend decided to take this opportunity to invite our friends along.. (actually it was his initiative.. more pressure for me now.. well, not really) yesterday, we even fasted from dinner praying about the service and etc.. but now it seems that one of our friends may not be able to coz his mum is here and is a bit anti-christian i think.. it's possible that coz he's the only son he is in line to continue the family ancestral worship.. His sis is actually a member of OCF and serving there lots. so yar.. tonite and tomorrow until the service is pray pray pray.. oh.. and 'somehow', i've gotten a case of food poisoning.. have to pray about that too.. my stomach is uncomfortable and i've been to the loo quite a number of times liao.. not great.. but yupz.. one thing God is teaching me is that i can have trials and everything, but as long as i dwell in the presence of God, He is my fortress, my shield, my victory.. temporary defeats may arise, but nothing stands in the way of God's will if i would just obey His commands.. so there.. cool stuff yar? anyway, i think prep for worship is pretty much done.. but i'm a bit afraid i might become more and more distracted from God as i prepare.. so yar.. need more prayer again.. k, washing is done... need to get my clothes out of dryer and quickly go to sleep b4 i have to go loo again.. i'll finish with a couple of verses from Psalm 139. (is a reading i'll have during service. and is from the kidsong album "super strong God" which i simply just love..)Psalm 139:13-18
You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous - how well i know it. You watched me as i was being formed in utter seclusion, as i was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before i was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered! I can't even count them; they outnumber the grains of the sand! And when i wake up, you are still with me!
