Just some Thoughts...

My friend shared this with me and I thought it was quite meaningful, hence, decided to jot it down here for everyone :)

Time is created by God and is given to us that we may use it anyway we want to.
When we devote time to attend cell or church meeting, to prepare for a youth camp etc, we are not doing God a favour by setting aside time amidst our busy schedule for such activities. In fact, we are returning to Him what was given to us.

If God hadnt blessed us with time, would we still be able to decide what we want to do with it?

Haha, just some food for thought :)

devotionTHIRTEEN - I'm Forever Yours

A worship song by Planet Shakers. In Isaiah 6:8, the prophet Isaiah says in his vision, "Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, 'Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?' And I said, 'Here am I. Send me!'" Isaiah stood up and answered God's call. He was willing to go forth to bring God's message to the Jewish nation, even if it was one of judgment in Isaiah 6. However, the message doesn't end there because of their sin. The rest of Isaiah continues with the Good News of the promised Messiah who is to come (7:10-16), who will suffer for the sins of man, but in the process atone for our sins (53:10-12).

In essence, that is the Good News that we are to proclaim. But can we like Isaiah, say "Here am I. Send me!"? Lord, we are forever yours, a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that we may declare the praises of him who called us out of darkness into his wonderful light. (1 Peter 2:9). Help us to obey your commandments.

And,today's 29th Feb. Once in every 4 years,this date will appear in the calendar! Historical moments man! Maybe today's devotion will mark something in our life, marks a start of great things that is to come. Happy 29th feb!
