Handshake

Listening to the new song that I have composed, somehow, it led me to think of the feeling of having a handshake with God. The warmth, the affirmation, the gladness, the uplifting of the soul towards God.

This year has been difficult hence the longing for God to use His Word to speak with His still small voice. His Word is ever refreshing, ever restoring. It is a complete renewal to the weary soul.

Tomorrow would be going up to Palm Springs, Johor for prayer kickoff. I dunno what is installed next year. But prayer always move the hand of God. Thinking of a handshake, thinking that God would always approve His children pleading with Him for His blessing, will draw a hand to come down from heaven, to see His handshake of approval.

The best part about prayer is not in so much of the answer, but as in so much the trust and dependence of God who has no lack. That glorifies our God.

The more you pray, the more you acknowledge the abundance and the wisdom of God.

That gladness that brings to the heart even in the most terrible of days. Coz when everything around is collapsing, you will still lift your hand to pray. What glory it brings to the Father.

My heart is weary so much from the many struggles of life. Yet in amazement of who God is, I believe God has installed great things. He has plans to prosper, He has plans that our heart must be drawn to Himself. The greatest commandment is to love God with all thy heart, mind, soul and strength. John Piper words still ring clearly. God is most glorified when you are most satisfied in Him.

This is my only new year resolution, my only prayer. To be satisfied in God alone who alone can only satisfy.

What more with an answered prayer.

Gloria sola gratia.

Amen.
