A New Awakening

Within the last few weeks many different things have been happening in the city (London) within the country and in our own lives. As we all know that nothing happens out of cooincidence. Its all in the plan of God. It is either His Sovereign Plan or His perimssive plan, nevertheless, it is HIS PLAN (or purpose). Many of us lived unconsciously everyday according to our own plans without giving much thought to it. It is presume upon that because we go to church or because we perform our religious duties than we are in God's plan. Is this correct?

I have met many people who has done many good works and still feel extremely restless, unhappy and unfulfilled. So what went wrong? We are told in scripture (Isa 26:3) that He does give perfect peace to those whose mind (heart) is stayed (remain) on Him.

A semse of peace is somehow the greatest sense of fulfilment (or contentment) for many. However one must always differentiate between godly contentment and complacency. When complacency creeps in God has a tendency to shake us up and wake us out of our sleep.

I guess for the church in the West this "might" be what the Lord is doing? Its a wake up call, its time for a New Awakening. Less we become too judgemental I must admit that I have taken much time everyday thinking about my own commitment and readiness to meet the Lord. Not shakened, just awakened, and it is a good thing.

We thank God for the many thousands who, being awakened, have drawn closer to the Lord, and some have actually accepted Him as their Lord and Saviour for the very first time. For wahtever reason men and woment turn their backs on the Lord they can be sure they can't get very far.
The word of God has a great capacity to discern our ways and to pierce into our hearts and I am Glad. It keeps me from falling and from become foolish.
It would be great to be able to dialogue and discuss as to what we think the Lord is saying to us when things don't seem to go right in our eyes. Contemplation is a great life. A the Lord so desire for us to do that we may know more of Him and His ways. Pray that the Lord will grant great patience, grace and wisdom to know how to best use our time for His honour and glory. Have a great day.
