In heavenly armor we'll enter the land,
The battle belongs to the Lord.
No weapon that's fashioned against us will stand,
The battle belongs to the Lord.
And we sing glory, honor, power and strength to the Lord,
We sing glory, honor, power and strength to the Lord.
When the power of darkness comes in like a flood,
The battle belongs to the Lord.
He'll raise up a standard, the power of His blood,
The battle belongs to the Lord.
And we sing glory, honor, power and strength to the Lord,
We sing glory, honor, power and strength to the Lord.
When Your enemy presses in hard, do not fear,
The battle belongs to the Lord.
Take courage, my friend, your redemption is near,
The battle belongs to the Lord.
And we sing glory, honor, power and strength to the Lord,
We sing glory, honor, power and strength to the Lord.
I was listening to this song play on a CD while my mum was driving the three of us to church today morning. Actually, I've meant to take time to blog down various things about my recent experiences and troubles, but basically so far I've been so busy (or making myself so busy) that I've neglected my quiet time for quite some time. In fact, I realised that last Friday, and told my cell group on Sunday that I would be resuming my quiet time on Monday.
guess what? it never happened.
but, like i was saying, I was listening to this song today morning. and i believe that God was speaking to me, telling me to lean on Him and to trust in Him. The battle belongs to Him. Hence I should not be struggling to win a battle against sin in my life. Jesus already claimed that eternal victory over sin with His death on the cross!
Other than that, I've a number of other issues that have been occupying my time. i'm gonna finish with army soon, and after that i'm going to china for a holiday, but i haven't planned a thing.
my grandma's in the hospital right now, and i don't know how long she's gonna last. once this week, when we visited her at SGH, she was sleeping, but my mum pointed out her troubled expression as she slept. I don't know what she's troubled by, but if only we could do something that would help her put her mind at ease. if only she knew Jesus as her personal saviour and Lord.
i'm going back to school next year, but i've finally realised (a little late too) that i should have applied for scholarships and overseas universities earlier. now there's going to be quite a bit of uncertainty as to where i'm going to study, how the payment of fees is going to work out, and everything.
i'm still learning driving. gotta balance that too.
got to pray for the direction of our boys' cell. the attendance is erratic and some of them are moving to the adult service i think.
and... my heart still yearns for someone to be with. But I believe God has someone for me, just that... waiting... sucks. xD oh well, another 7 years or so to go!
All these issues are still swirling around in my head. But the Word tells us to "seek first his Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." (Matthew 6:33) So now, I need to trust in the Lord with all my heart and lean not on my own understanding, acknowledge Him in all my ways, and He will make my path straight. (Proverbs 3:5-6)
but it's difficult to release control, as anyone would know. Lord, help me to release control my life into your loving hands. You know best.
