Devotion 27

Apparently I haven’t written any devotion for the past 2 months! Time flies…

I’ve been overwhelmed by changes and busy-ness of life. Some highlights include “moved to a new apartment”, “landed on a new team”, and “officially on staff for Hosanna 2009-2010”.

While I’m busy embracing all the new things in my life, my time with God is few, my dependence on Him is less. We often find ourselves thinking, “When life settles down a bit, I'll…” But we should have learned by now that life never settles down. Whatever we want to accomplish, we must do with a life unsettled. In the same way, if we're ever going to discipline ourselves for the purpose of godliness, we've got to do it when life is like it is now.

I took a lunch break at 1:30pm just to walk around and have some time to myself. I had to admit to God that I felt inadequate and that I need more strength and wisdom. It was during that time I realized again that I cannot do anything without Him.

This is a bittersweet humbling experience. Once again, I’m reminded:

I can do everything through him who gives me strength. – Philippians 4:13
