祢是我的主 引我走正義路
Lord, You are my guide, the shepherd of my life
高山或低谷 都是祢在保護
Through the hills and valleys, You’re always by my side
萬人中唯獨 祢愛我認識我
Calling me by name, You’ve chosen me with love
永遠不變的應許 這一生都是祝福
Blessing me abundantly, Your promise will never change
Chorus (x2)
一步又一步 這是恩典之路
Every step we take, You lead us with Your grace
祢愛 祢手 將我緊緊抓住 (牽引我走這人生路)
Your love, Your hand, will hold us close to You (will guide us through the path of grace)
Lifegroup's praise and worship reminded me of 2 things:
1. Because God loves us, He is our enabler
Tuesday was a long day which started at 7.30am, then 5 hours of medical clinic with my consultant supervisor, clerking, examining, presenting and writing prescriptions for each patient who came in (already like MO already, seeing all your diabetes, asthma cases)..then after lunchbreak, ward work, and rounds until 5.30pm. Went to gym (probably a mistake? :p), then on call until 10pm. Too exhausted to do anything, next morning had to clerk patient for bedside. Nevertheless, really thank God for his favour the next day, and a good teaching session. Even as we sang 'God is the strength of my heart', got reminded that that He will continue to sustain us, even through difficulties (sometimes through little bits of encouragement), as during the times of Nehemiah, when the people faced opposition to the rebuilding of the wall of Jerusalem. As long as we try our best and continue to remain in God's purpose, he will help to accomplish the task (the wall was rebuilt in 52 days).
2. Because God loves us, He sees beyond our transgressions
One section of the song 'Power of Your Love', reads '..Lord I've come to know, the weaknesses I see in me, will be stripped away..' A part of John Bevere's book, 'Extraordinary' makes note that there's nothing we can do to make God loves us more or less, whatever we have done. Able to see how despite the many ridiculous things which the Israelites did and complained in the past which resulted in them wandering in the desert as punishment, how God remained faithful and patient in providing them with food, clothing and guidance. In the same way, many times we probably don't love God enough to look beyond the shortcomings / annoying side of our fellow brothers and sisters / family / colleagues etc. Probably should serve as a reminder from time to time..
