Currently in a season of pruning.. I see God putting me through several challenges. right now,i believe God wants me to deal with my area of insecurity and dwelling in negative thoughts. Loving God in my mind.
Challenges in terms of my studies, my future, finances and family are all happening together. but thank God I'm still walking with God, having been looking to Him through this period. Just feel that really cannot fall away from being like this anytime. I really need to sustain this heart attitude that trusts God and believing that everything will work out right because of Him. Him alone gives me security, because however i look at the circumstance, the situation, i see no hope. But because of God in my life, i foresee miracles. My life will be one of miracles because my life will shine God's strength. it only through the lens of faith that i see a bright future, a bright future that i have with God.
One question (posted by sengkim) that had been in mind for some time is this: I can say i can't live without God, but can i say i can live with nothing else but God?
Having faced the many challenges, i can definitely say that i really cannot live without God. But the question whether i can live just because i have God and nothing else is something i had never thought deeply about. in other words, God is something i need but is God all i need? the answer should be a yes, because if i truly know God's character and trust that He can and will provide, i need nothing else but Him. but i just can't say that God is all that i need at this moment.
What i thought would be able to help myself is to ask this myself this question: will i give up all the things i have to be with God? My life, my friends, my family, my possessions... I think everytime i ask myself this question, i will tell myself that these are all the things provided me and He will continue to provide. But that's not true, the life of a bible character, Daniel, he lost all that he has and God allowed that. God will not necessarily provide me with these things, but the only thing He always unfailingly provide is His presence, His love.
Romans 8:38-39 "For I am convince that neither death nor life, neither angel or demons, neither the present or the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus out Lord."
Romans 8:28 "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who has been called according to His purpose."
I believe, i other words, God is saying He is all that we need. In EVERYTHING, God not only provide us our need, be instead provides us a life that is good. How would he then allow any of us to go through anything or any situation whereby our needs are not being provided. and we know that through the bible, the only things that God provided to all His people all the time is Himself and nothing else.
think that thinking about this question is really apt to my season now. to worship God with my life, i need to first be able to lay down everything before Him and say that God, these are not what i need , take them as You please, only be with me.
