Our nation

Shalom, brothers and sisters in Christ :)

As many of you know, our nation is suffering from many trials and troubles. But as my pastor said today, in James 1:2,

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know the testing of faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

We say we follow Jesus. We say we believe in Him. Now is the time to show God's grace in us, when things seem meek, that we rise above all things to glorify God within us.

Often we ask God to charge us with jobs or work, for us to be able to glorify Him. He has shown and given us this amazing opportunity. Let's not disappoint our God by being vengeful or hateful.

God is making a change; He is working. Look around us! New things are happening day by day, continuously proving that our God is mighty and our God is real. Lets pray for the Spirit to open our eyes and our hearts, to be able to see what God sees...to understand that His ways are incomprehensible.

What we see is only a speck of what God has in His plan, but I'm sure you all know that already. Now, are we willing to take that giant leap of faith, accepting things we do not understand and letting our God guide us in the darkness?

Acting for Him does not always mean you always have to be busy or doing things. We can spend time with Him whenever, and idleness could also be a trial to some. Let's not lose hope nor let our confidence in our Lord dwindle. Lets continuously be joyful, knowing that through EVERYTHING, our Savior is that same, unchanging, faithful Savior that died for us on the cross over two thousand years ago, and He is still with us, even to the end of the age.

Malaysia is wonderful. Praise God for blessing such a nation. Lets look into ourselves and start considering what we can do for the nation God has given to us.

Do you believe that if it is in God's will, that it will be possible? Yes? Good.

Joshua 10:8 says

The Lord said to Joshua, "Do not be afraid of them; I have given them into your hand. Not one of them will be able to withstand you."

We have the potential to do great things. To conquer corruption. To destroy racism. Make Malaysia a better place. It's God's will. Lets pray for wisdom, for God will not withhold it from those who ask from Him. Then, lets act.
