Day 3
Posted: Sun Oct 11, 2009 9:44 amOk , reading through this day (that is before meditating upon it) , halfway through , the Serenity prayer came mind . Which sums it all up to me , at this moment .
God , grant me the serenity
to accept the tings I cannot change . (your will for me )
The courage to change the things I can (through Your Power)
And the(Thy ?) wisdom to know the difference . (between the two)
This study (day 3 ) started out with , though at first glance my mind went "what does this have to do with either Truth or Spirit " , and when I get to questions like that I immediately stop myself and ask why ? , why am I questioning it ?" then I turn to my Lord .
I remembered ( or should I say ,He reminded me) of the days when I was questioning the "fact"(?) if , "If His chosen people were the Jews and Israelites , why would He bother with the non-Jews , let alone me ! of all ppl ?" .
Of course today I laugh about such thoughts when they come to mind , for He had shown me with ways that are far beyond my wildest human comprehension , and the very reason of my typing right at this moment is to nothing else but to get closer to that Truth day by day with a firm belief that I will never get the whole picture in this lifetime , but at the same time I feel forever blessed with each fraction of a millimeter that I get closer to my Lord .
Though 1 corinth. 1: 26-29 is covering individuals , but if I were to apply the answer to my questioning mentioned above , it would fit it perfectly ,
"The Lord took it to the gentiles to stir the Jews' jealousy" , it says somewhere , I cant recall the exact place , but by jealousy , He meant something like (my opinion) "woah ! look at what we missed out on ? If these gentiles that we thought of as unworthy , can turn around and do the very things we been waiting for but rejected , how much more would He had done for us - His chosen? "
Well its needless for me to go on , for I had written and spoken of the outcome many time a day , of which I never tire of passing on the for the benefit of the next soul after me .
Just like all the rest of the prophets , kings and individuals that God put His "mind" on , mentioned in the study , ended up doing exactly what He intended them to do whether they liked it or not , my questioning today had (He) changed to , "Why not me ? "
I can only say to them " Just look at me , if He can do this to a wretch like me , can you imagine how much more can He do for you ? "
Don't even try to answer that "can you imagine " part , because you can't , Don't wast your time trying , it's Bigger than you can even come close to , just say the Serenity Prayer and go something like this , "Here I am Lord , send me "
God , grant me the serenity
