Life is like a TV show

I just had a thought as I watched the performance during our church's 23rd Anniversary.

I realised that words sometimes cannot fully express what we want to say. Instead we create expressions through music, dance, skits, paintings/drawings etc.

I enjoy watching the various types of genre as it express the emotions and the messages to convey. Truly inspired by the ballet dance and the song played as well as the worship song sang by Mark and Alli.

I guess thats why I love singing. Because the dynamics of singing and instruments used help to convey certain expressions. And its probably 1 thing which I can do (I have no giftings in dance or drawing).

I love culture and lifestyle. I love expressions and meaning. I love the arts.

I hope I will be able to find someone who shares the same interest and sentiments.

I am grateful.

Grateful to God for the people whom He has placed in my life.

Although there are bad encounters with some, they taught me lessons about compassion and empathy. Others helped me in my journey to the destination. I am grateful.

Great friends whom He has allowed me to meet from secondary school like Eunice, Mingni, Jiayi, Agnes, Delvina, Yiyi, Belinda and more to JC like my Kayaking team to Uni like the farm to my first full time job at Kuok like Annie, Lay Peng, Coco and more to my current working place at Revo like the whole co. to church like E399 peeps.

What dad commented is so true. Life is not a matter of the situations that have happened before. But its about the people you meet who shaped you to who you are today.

I thank God for the abundance of what I have in life. I am grateful.

Thank You.

I picked up the bible and started reading Isaiah 43 again.

Isaiah 43:10-13
10 You are My witnesses, says the LORD, and My servant whom I have chosen; that you may know and believe Me, and understand that I am He. Before Me no God was formed, nor shall there be after Me. 11 I, I am Jehovah; and there is none to save besides Me. 12 I have declared, and have saved, and I have shown, when there was no strange god among you; therefore you are My witnesses, says Jehovah, that I am God. 13 Yea, before the day was, I am He; and no one delivers out of My hand; I will work, and who will reverse it?

As much as we are to be God's witnesses to others, it is also for us to know that He is God. To experience and know Him personally.

I felt like the Holy Spirit was speaking to me about this. I need to experience His power and might that He is able to control and do miracles; that He is God. Because I had little faith or rather little understanding of Him. This time, I believe He wants to show me a deeper, different side of Him which I have not experienced before.

I went on to read Luke 12:16-38
Luke 12:31
But rather seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you.

Jesus was explaining about the things of the world like what we eat or wear are secondary to what God's will for our life is. It is a word in season for me as I was anxious about the job openning etc.

The Holy Spirit meant to say that my priorities go to be right because I need to know what is God's will before things can rightfully fall into place. The things which I seek does not have eternal value. Things from the world like career path, establishment in the society, education and qualification, material things etc. We worry whether things will into place because we are not sure if God would reveal to us and Jesus says -
Luke 12:32
Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

I knew that I was worried about what God has yet to make happen. My eyes was looking ahead instead of looking up. I would pray for those unanswered prayers and worry if it would come to past although He has given a word "Trust". I knew I still had unbelief. My eyesight, understanding and belief was narrow; my faith was little.

A verse "new wine cannot be poured into old wineskin" popped up and I went to search.

Luke 5:37-39
And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. Else the new wine will burst the wineskins and be spilled, and the wineskin will perish. 38 But new wine must be put into new wineskins, and both are preserved together. 39 Also no one having drunk old wine immediately desires new, for he says, The old is better.

I need to renew my mind to be able to contain as well as allow the Holy Spirit to reveal to me new things. And what that this verse can then be fulfilled -
Isaiah 43:18-21
Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. 19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall sprout; shall you not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, rivers in the desert.

I prayed nothing else but for God to bless what is ahead. Bless as in approve what I am going to do, according to what He will instruct.

I prayed for the Holy Spirit to be right beside me while He send the heavenlies to go before us to search and claim the "land". I tarried in the presence of God, in His peace and allowed His anointing to fall.

At this moment, I felt stucked at a situation where there seems to be nothing that is happening.

But I saw in a vision; a road created in the waters like the parting of the red sea during Moses' time. I also saw a path created in the wilderness. It felt like a rollarcoaster ride which we used to describe the adventure of a Christian walk. Its going to be exciting and challenging at the same time.

I searched the bible for a description of what I saw and came to Isaiah 43. This verses sprung out to me as I read the chapter.

Isaiah 43:18-21
Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. 19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall sprout; shall you not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, rivers in the desert. 20 The beasts of the field shall honor Me, the jackals and the ostriches; because I give waters in the wilderness, rivers in the desert, to give drink to My people, My chosen. 21 This people that I formed for Myself; they shall declare My praise.

God will do a new thing! Change is coming...
