FACING THE GIANTS

There is this parable I listen in a movie “facing the giants” mentioning there are 2 farmers who desperately need rain. Both of them pray to the Lord to ask for rain. However only one of the 2 farmers going to the field, work on it and prepare for rain. From this simple parable, who do you think believe God will give rain? It’s very obvious the one who work on his farm, prepare his farm and prepare for the rain to come. Faith without work is dead.

This parable might be a very simple, but I found it very profound. How many of us, we always blaming on this and that yet without giving our best. How many of use, we will only give our best when we see the best situation around or when there is favor or when God answered our prayer? How many of us wait till things happen, than only we give in our best? This is not faith at all. As we know nothing is impossible for God, let us do our best in all situations and leave the results to God. In life it’s not about gaining and achieving what we want to achieve. God put us here for a PURPOSE. All that we achieve or pursue, if only for ourselves will one day be meaningless. Do think about it. Do you remember who is the richest person 20years ago, who is the greatest person 20years ago? In the movie, the coach tell his player, winning for their own glory is only short term, very soon people will forget about that, very soon their trophy will be there collecting dust. It’s very true, I remember I study very hard to achieve a good results, yes I get straight A’s in some government exam, good results in SPM, get my degree and all those stuff. Yet, it all became nothing now. I don’t mean we shouldn’t have goal, or we are not to do anything with our life. As I have mention, we need to do our best in all situations, and bring glory to God. First, let us understand our purpose, God said the greatest thing we to do is to love God wholeheartedly and love people fervently. This is the most important and primary; as we love God our life will be in the correct perspective. We will use our life for bringing God glory and not anymore for our selfish ambition. Jesus Himself had died for us for this reason so that we are connect back to God. God love us so much, in all that we our do or pursue God will certainly there to bless us because HE care for us and HE care for the thing which we care as well. Only never let those things take the place of God.

I had found sometimes we do not do our best because of various reasons. We might think we are small, weak, definitely will lose or we will fail badly. But as we know our purpose, it’s not anymore regarding failure or success; it’s all about giving our best. Never give up, never back down, never lose faith. Do you prepare your field for the rain God will pour down? Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him and HE shall make your path straight. FOR GOD NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE

Ps: Facing the giants is a very meaningful and touching movie. As you watch it, I believe as well it will impart faith, strength and confidence to you

Dear restless heart, be still; don't fret and worry so;
God has a thousand ways His love and help to show;
Just trust, and trust,and trust, until His will you know.

Dear restless heart, be still; for peace is God's own smile;
His love can every wrong and sorrow reconcile;
Just love, and love, and love, and calmly wait awhile.

Dear restless heart, be brave; don't moan and sorrow so,
He has a meaning kind in chilly winds that blows;
Just hope, and hope, and hope, until you braver grow.

Dear restless heart, recline upon His breast this hour,
His grace is strength and life, His love is bloom and flower;
Just rest, and rest, and rest, within His tender power.

Dear restless heart, be still! Don't struggle to be free;
God's life is in your life, from Him you may not flee;
Just pray, and pray, and pray, till you have faith to see.

My God is a good God. He knows every single things in my life, He knows i am upset, He understand how i feeling about. Today i have bump into varies blogs from different minister which i do not know, and through them i hear, and that I know i am love, i know He cares. Some time life is like a mess, some time hurt, but He is by your side, He watches every bit, His grace is sufficient for me, Amen~ 0 what do you say?
