THE JOURNEY OF FAITH

Hi Friends,

Its been awhile and yes many are wondering what is happening to Kenny Gan since his discovery of his physical challenges. Like everyone else its a time of contemplation and prayer, seeking God in the midst of all the comment, advice and prayers. Thoughts constantly run through ones mind with many discouraging outcomes (please note these are just thoughts) but amazingly the thoughts of our Gracious Lord remains the ruling factor and helps destroy any unwelcome negativity.

This is another phase of my walk and journey with the Lord. It reminds me of the many times I have heard men and women talking about their journey in life. For most people the journey is theirs and their destiny should therefore be self directed and planned. You create your own destiny. Unfortunately none of us know exactly where we are going except when we gave our lives to Him and know for a fact that He has a future and a destiny for us.

The only thing about this future and this destiny is that it cannot be seen and it has no definite date.Therefore it seems obscure. Even the One that we have believed in is unseen, and unless one has been walking with the unseen God one will never know His certainty. The Lord in His mercy has revealed Himself to thousands and countless others through the ages and they have testified to His reality and faithfulness. I guess I have to say that I have been one of the very privileged ones where the Lord has ben gracious and kind enough to reveal Himself to for the last 32 years.

So, it is a journey of faith because it is walking with the one who is unseen and trusting in the promises of the unknown destiny. The journey is definite, the destiny is definite because the existence of the One who promises is definite. It is a journey of faith also because we walk daily with the Unseen God as He daily life us up when we grow weary or tired and He will lead us all the way to our destiny, HOME.....WITH HIM. Therefore we can boldly say, "Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will not fear, for Thou art with me, Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me...... Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever". Praise be to God!!!

So my dear friends begin your walk with Him now and not wait till the shadow of death confronts you. Know that though He is Unseen He is there with you. So do rejoice, the Lord is near, Glory be to His name.

Kenny Gan
