Then I realised that perhaps when I went through my polytechnic days, that was a preparation. A preparation of 3 years that has got me in the understanding that when my one year standing alone will test my integrity, my faith, my humility, my weaknesses, and ultimately my salvation in Jesus Christ. There were times that I will slack and indifferent about the preparation that awaits me..there are times when I am all so fired up for it. Today- I asked myself: Have I gave my best in the preparation for this lone trip?
When I was hearing "At the cross", it was a clear message to me. That I hold no rights to complain, to argue, to demand because someone else is worst off than myself. In fact, because my Lord shed His blood for me- I need not do any of that because He has gone ahead for us. Even when I can be at the most disadvantaged, He shall be my vindicator.
4 The Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue,
to know the word that sustains the weary.
He wakens me morning by morning,
wakens my ear to listen like one being taught.
5 The Sovereign LORD has opened my ears,
and I have not been rebellious;
I have not drawn back.
6 I offered my back to those who beat me,
my cheeks to those who pulled out my beard;
I did not hide my face
from mocking and spitting.
7 Because the Sovereign LORD helps me,
I will not be disgraced.
Therefore have I set my face like flint,
and I know I will not be put to shame.
8 He who vindicates me is near.
Who then will bring charges against me?
Let us face each other!
Isaiah 50:4-8
Lord, I am thankful for the many things you have given me. My house, my bed, my family and friends and people from Singapore that came to Australia to study with me..Even at the deepest pit, when nothing goes my way,and I may not be what like verse 8 speaks of the bravery that I should have in facing confrontations, I know there is only one way- your way- the best way:) Lead me and guide me with the wisdom that comes from you.
