Facing the giants........

Indeed it was a week full of trials and temptation. Even i myself, personally didn't know how i endure this week. It seems that every holiday, i will be facing with assortment of troubles and things which i wish it never happen.. For the past few days it was a challenge in me as i am fighting over things which is call depression and of course other negative factors..

No one in this world have a prefect life and each and everyone of us have our own struggles which i call in the giants..

Our struggles are like a group of 32 players in a team fighting against a team which have 85 players in this American football.. Such a big amount how on earth do this 32 player be able to defend themselves.. not to say in winning..

I am gonna share with you something i find it vital in all of us.. I watched this movie "facing the giants". A story that tells a coach struggles in helping his team regain his team's spirit. Not only that he has his own problems to encounter.. I was overwhelm by this movie as i see how this coach trust God in everything he do..

He broke down in the middle but because of God's servant who spoke to him through the book of Revelation, he found something which he never realize.. Not even i thought about it but now i do. Mr Bridges told this coach.. " both you and I believe that God is with us. Let me tell you this, there were two farmers, both praying for rain. But one of the farmer gather his stuffs and clear the land after praying whereas the other continues praying. So let me ask you.. Which farmer has the faith in God?"

Very simple the farmer who clears his land and prepare for the rain. Many a times we just pray and pray but we as ourselves never make an effort to do what we must. We just pray and hope God will do something in our life. God doesn't. He wants you to do your part and he will do the rest. God wants us to clear the land and waits for his rain to come. Not only must we seek God in prayer, we must do our part in enhancing out lives. Only by then you will see God's miracle and blessings.

These few days i am just filled with struggles.. I just pray and pray why God give me such a holiday? I prayed but i never do anything to work myself.. I am just like the farmer who pray and waits for the rain. Now i realize that i should have my deepest faith in God. No matter how giant are the problem is, I believe God's is with me. Thus, when i do my part i will always let his will be done on earth as it is in heaven. So long as i do the best i can God will do the rest.

Now i know why God gave me such a holiday. He will never waste a single hurt that I have endure. He lifted me up and made me understand his purpose in my life. I live not because of myself, my glory or even my integrity but because i live for God.

There are more giants ahead of me but i entrust to God that i will be able to fight through this giants. Although I am small but i believe when God is with me nothing is impossible.

Lord i am amazed with your working in me. How wide, How deep, How great is your love for me. Lord I am amazed by you.

Last but not least, I must say when we do something let us do it with our earnest heart. Just as a simple example, How can a servant serve 2 masters? Never right.. So when we do something even when we social or even do out work, do it well.. And when we find out that we have two things to do at once.. never try to do it altogether..
That's why God call us to serve one master and serve him well. Cause only by then will we do it with our whole heart and enlighten our master..

Until then..
