Remembering God

I remember joining and serving in Boys Brigade in the Year of Victory 2 years back. The reason I joined is because I heard God asking me to serve my leader in this area. i heard and I went.

I enjoyed serving the boys, befriending them, encouraging them, teaching them. Yes, the distance's long, but I always enjoyed the process. And I thank God for this process, because it has molded me in terms of the heart.

Jesus modelled to us the form of servant leadership that's different from the worldly models, where we are called to serve first, lead second. And for the past two years, I thank God that He is guiding me through this growing stage - helping to check my heart and mold it to be more like His. Praise God.

I remembered God's goodness in our company. In the year of Victory, we got out first Gold award. In BB, its called the JM Fraser AWard, named after the founder of the BB Singapore. In the MOE system, its a uniformed group gold award. It's our first ever Gold award, and i believe it serve as a encouragement to many of the rest of the GBs and BBs companies sponsored by our church. When I see the list, its pretty huge, some 10-20 of them..

In the following year, Glory to God, our company got the Gold Award again. Glory to God indeed, needless to say, its our prayer and dependence on God this year and beyond to sustain the Gold Award.

Looking back at the history of the company, although I am not there from beginning, i have heard of the hardships in the beginning, and its during the year of Victory, when indeed by God's triumphant procession that believing teachers from the school come be part of the team and making the unity of the comapny be much strengthened. Praise God indeed for sending the right teachers who continued to be a huge blessings to all.

I want to remember God because sometimes when we have what we have, we tend to look too much into it and forget that its God who gave us whatever we have.

May we always remember God's goodness, and continue to depend on him, seek His interests and plans, not ours.

He is never interested in our plans. He is only interested in His plans. somebody said that, and the more i think, the more i think its correct. if u think this statement is not true, i suggest u allow the Holy Spirit to check your heart.

Sometimes, there are just so many human originated plans that we find ourselves in.. finding ourselves striving, weary, frustrated, lost.... i have been feeling quite a fiar of it time to time... and i realised its because i have been relying on my human wisdom n strength...

its time to remember God's goodness, and seek to depend on Him on everything by submitting and surrendering to Him.

Somebody shout Amen!

Amen!
