In the darkness, God's light shines

Today's service was awesome. It was very uplifting (though all of the services are), especially amongst the gloom that surrounds us. Every day for the past few weeks, everything i read in the papers is about the gloom and doom. Every person i talk to tells me "times are bad" or "you should worry about our economy". I don't deny that there is darkness in this world right now...and that times are bad for many...but that's not for us. It never was meant for us. Amidst all those that's happening around us, we are placed in the cleft of the rock Jesus Christ, sheltered, shielded from all the turmoil, the mess, the destruction. Oh Lord, blessed is the man who's in Christ. As the world gets darker, the church shines ever brighter...for His glory...so supernaturally beautiful.

As you walk with Him, his heart is revealed...ever so pure and wonderful...

Off to another topic. While on my way to church today, i took a cab. The taxi uncle turned left towards PIE, which wasn't the usual way i get to church. And so i asked, "uncle, how are you going to Suntec?". Uncle replied, "By CTE or Nicoll Highway". From my knowledge, CTE doesn't lead to Suntec, it could be either ECP or Nicoll but not CTE. And i told him that. So he said we'll go by Nicoll then. I was rushing for time, the impatient side of me fuming at the lost of time and the mistake in directions. The taxi driver made a huge round back to my home, before heading towards Nicoll Highway. Then, i was so ready to take it up with him, to demand that he charge less for my cab fare due to the detour. But i hated the fuming me....and hence i complained to the Lord and keep asking Him whyyy is this happening. He just told me not to worry, and he'll take care of it. FRom then on, the journey was smooth, no red lights, no traffic jams, smooth all the way to church. My usual cab fare to church would cost 7 bucks...but this time round the meter showed 9 bucks. By the time i reached, i was at rest, peaceful, leaving everything up to the Lord. And at this point, the taxi driver turned to me and asked, "how much do you usually pay for your trip here?". I said, "7 dollars". And he replied, "then just pay me 7 dollars will do." My goodness, it was amazing. Without me even trying to fight, the Lord delivered me! Praise God!

The incident left me very touched. Nothing is too small for God...he just wanna be with you, by your side, every time. Oh Lord...you are so good.

Friday's care group session was awesome too....shines light into the situation at work. Praise God.

Yesterday's gathering at my colleague's house was great too. Learnt many things i never knew about them and myself...and how they saw me. Interesting...that through their words, His glory is shown...goodness.

So so in awe of Father God...He never fails to amaze me...time and time again. So many things to share this week about His goodness and His faithfulness....like a spring that blossoms into a glorified flower....

Ciao for now....will be back to share more :)
