I will still believe

This blog entry is a recent personal reflection of mine.

There are times in our lives where we are surrounded by difficult and seemingly impossible situations. Wherever we turn to we see difficult and seemingly impossible situations. What do we do in such situation? What should we do in such situation?

Yesterday morning, I was reminded of a precious lesson I learnt many years ago. I learnt a new pointer too. The passage is 1 Samuel 30. In this passage, David went through an incredibly difficult situation. He might be justified to react in many ways but he did not. His godly responses were mainly two responses. Firstly, he strengthened himself in God (v. 6). Secondly, He sought the Lord for a solution to his very difficult situation (v. 7-8). In the remaining verses we could see how God honoured David by giving him a mighty victory. Had David responded in other ways he wouldn't have experienced the victory. Had David responded according to his flesh his seemingly impossible situation would have been turned into a truly impossible situation.

This morning, I listened to a particular Indonesian praise & worship song for the first time ever and I was greatly ministered by the song.

Below are the lyrics of the song in English (my translation).

You Work in a Miraculous Way
Jonathan Prawiradi

When I cannot see You
I will still believe
You always know
What You need to do for me

When I feel that You are far away
I will still believe
You always know
The timing to act for me

Chorus:
You work in a miraculous way
My mind can’t fathom it
How You work things out for the good of me who loves You

"Yes Lord, come what may I will still believe. Thanks much for speaking to me afresh in the last two days."

P.S. If you would like to listen to melody of the song you can go to http://ww.kidung.com and look for the following title, "Kau bekerja dengan cara yang ajaib"
