song number 9

I will praise You, O LORD,
with my whole heart;
I will tell of all Your
marvelous works.

I will be glad and rejoce in
You;
I will sing praise to Your
name, O Most High.
- psalms 9:1, 2

i had a break from my work and from the everyday puyat, inom and lakwatsa.
went to the province. helped out promoting a youth camp. talked to some pastors. listened to their testimonies on how the Lord was able to provide their needs. was able to build a camp site. and how God had blessed them with new leaders. and seeing through their genuine eyes, how amazing our God is. they do not have financial concerns.. errr.. they do not worry about it... they just believe that God will provide... every now and then... they will tell you that this one and that one, they are provided by God....

looking at their perspective... how good it is to see people. without stable jobs, without a high paying salary to not worry about their financial concerns... yeah there is a fact that we all have financial concerns... but they will differ on how we approach them... for us in the metro... we need to have our own way... to sell this, take a loan, borrow some money, etc... but for them... they just trust God. and yeah... they believe that God will provide for their needs and yeah, God does.

how about us? if our job was taken from us, if we do not have a high paying salary, what will be our way? do we take our own way or God's way...

i still believe that it is not mere accident that i went there. i believe God wants me to go there to learn something.. to learn how to trust Him... trust God more...

by reading through this chapter. when you look at verse 18, it says:

For the needy shall not
always be forgotten;
The expectation of the poor
shall not perish forever.
- psalms 9:18

from now on, i will memorize this verse, i will share this to people that thinks that their needs are forgotten by God this is a promise from Him that we can hold to. God keeps His promises.

have a blessed day. :D
