#Day 31: 31 January 2016

LISTEN & OBEY

It was a day full of blessings. Starting the day with a very painful sore throat, I woke up at 6 am. I took a time to listen to Hannah Yeoh sharing in youtube. The idea is to get to know her style of sharing.

I was requested to help interpreting her sharing today. Which is something I never did before. It was a very humbling experience indeed.

The atmosphere was great and the sharing was brilliant. Listen and Obey, thats the key message that Hannah shared about.

I admit that her challenges is not very much different with all of us (though different context and maybe different level of achievement), but we also face a lot of struggles in life. For me, the biggest difference maybe on the ability to listen and obey.

I admit that a lot of time, I expect God to listen and 'obey' to my wish or desire, even when I know it should be the other way around.

Although I also believe that our God is full of grace and He will make our path straight when we lost our ways. But I also know that by not listening and obey, we delayed His well planned blessing for us.

It's like when we refused to follow GPS direction and ended up lost our direction. The GPS will not leave us alone, but it always recalibrate and provide path to bring us back to our final destination. But, we have wasted our time, energy, petrol and maybe our spirit. We delayed ourselves in reaching our destination.

Proverbs 10:8 (Bible Gateway) reminds us that "If you have good sense, you will listen and obey; if all you do is talk, you will destroy yourself".

Luke 11:28 says "... Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it."

To receive and not delaying His blessing, we must listen and obey.

For now, I need to obey my throat and stop eating and talking too much. Hopefully the antibiotik will help to cure the painful throat.

It is indeed a great blessing. A day full of blessing.

Praise God that I still manage to help and listen and obey, to give my best to be interpreter for the first time. At least I know now that I need to brushed up my Bahasa Indonesia.

Praise God that I still can continue with fellowship with my friends and family after that.

Praise God that I still can continue to share (full January - my personal record in writing a sharing)

Praise God, that now, I can rest and entertain my painful throat.

By grace and grace alone I'm saved
Christ Jesus paid it all.
