Hi streamies! eh.. or is it livingies.. =)
my first entry!!
anyway.. like to share abt what i learnt from QT last nite.. made it a point to open ears.. and indeed God spoke to me through His Word in a very clear way..
about the Faithfulness of God.. that most of the time we associate God to be faithful when he has done something for us.. may be an answered prayer .. or mayb its when healing takes place for our loved ones.. or when He brings us through a tough period (exams?)...
but the book of Job revealed something to me..
that in the toughest times... God chose not to save his family or his livestock.. or deliver him immediately.. or prosper him with material wealth when he seems to need it the most... But still Job called God faithful!..
In Job 9:11.. Job says "When he passes me, i cannot see Him; when He goes by, i cannot perceive Him." ..... yet.. fastforwarded towards the end.. after this JIALAT period of testing for Job.. he said in Job 42: 5 " My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you."
God never for one moment 'lost' His sovereignty over Job's life..
Indeed He is faithful.. and not just because of what He gives us... but that He is always with us.. God's continual presence in out lives is reason enough to shout out in praise!!
have a great week everyone!!
love, fu
