It is saturday when I write this down, six more minutes to Sunday. I just come back from a dinner in conjunction with the 10th year anniversary of a church my friend attended. I am by the way invited because there are two more seats available and my cousin chose to take me along with her.
The last couple of weeks has been a spiritual breakthrough for me and today is an unexceptional day as well. I think it shouldn't be a coincidence when just two days ago I went to the library and chanced upon a book written by an author who spoke on tonight's dinner. When I heard his name being called up, I thought it sounded familiar and although I did not particularly put interest in the book he has written I did remember him as the author of the book.
Hence, today's event is not a coincidence and my cousin decision to chose me as a companion for the dinner is not a coincidence either. I had been struggling for a while especially with the word "rest" since I had been so "restless" for a long time now. God brought my issue to light by bringing me to read a verse after verse from day to day.
The word "rest" and the reason why I could not rest is answered when I read in Hebrew 4:6 It still remains that some will enter that rest, and those who formerly had the gospel preached to them did not go in, because of their disobedience.
It is because of disobedience that I could not find "rest". That I must confess and I am working my way now to enter that rest again. As it written again in Hebrew 4:11 Let us, therefore make every effort to enter that rest, .."
Today, a way is opened for me to look out for the "rest". The speaker messages go right into my soul. His message is clear ; the first one is to turn away from the wrong way and never to go back to it and the second one is to surrender completely to our saviour to guide us along our journey to perfection. As he concluded his messages, I heard my heart spoke quietly but surely that I am and my heart is now "willing" to turn away and is looking forward to "surrender" more to come to the "rest" promised for me eternally. God with the help of his messenger makes things clear to me and lead me to run back to Him again.
This journey has not end here but I am thankful that I am ..back..believing...trusting...re-committing myself again..to my only saviour..Jesus Christ the LORD.
I thank you Lord for today. :)
