Celebrating God’s Faithfulness…
I have to say I'm just too impressed with Him up there. No no he hasn't blessed me with a lottery ticket or an extremely easy and comfortable life. In fact life for me has been tough over the last couple of days. But I just want to take a moment here, in the midst of all my hectic schedule and buzzing to catch this amazing glimpse of God's faithfulness.
Too often times what happens is that we do ask for divine help; sometimes it comes, other times it doesn't ; some will lift their hands with hymns of praise and thanksgiving, others lift their heads to the sky, troubled and weary looks planted on their faces demanding the Almighty give them an answer as to why their misery or pain isn't over yet.
For me, I try my best to look at every hardship or issue as an opportunity for God to work to me. And believe me this is not my first reaction whenever problems come tumbling, especially if it's one after the other. It wears me down and tires me alot.
However in the midst of all my difficulties and struggles, there has been hope and prayers answered, but more importantly and what really strikes me the most, is God's faithfulness to an unworthy and somewhat so-so holy guy. I mean at one end, it's wonderful to see your prayers being answered, but if you look back, and just count the blessings that has been poured out to you, aren't you so glad that there is Someone who is still faithful to you (even though you and I know he doesn't really need you) ?
Yet the very fact that He still chooses to be faithful is a thought that just baffles me and at the same time inspires me and brings me to my knees. I love what Paul writes to Timothy in 2 Timothy 2 :13 :
"If we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself"
What this means in essence is that God, by very nature is a faithful person. It's just who he is. Isn't it great to have someone who is 100% reliable in your life? Someone who is there throughout your entire living period? In your ups and downs, your joys and disappointments.
We often look for commitment in others, we want 100% commitment when we assigned a task to a person, we expect total commitment from our family and spouses, well I can tell you person who meets that 100% commitment ; His name is Jesus, and yes you can call him God

My Car : Worship Center
I just love the fact that I can worship freely to my God...in my car. Wind up the windows, hook up my iPod to the car's stereo system, and viola, I have my very own worship center. And it's just so awesome to start and end your day with worship. There have been days where I've been so tired after finishing work that the only thing I look forward next is to just run into the comforts of my car and just begin my "daily worship" session. I find it so refreshing and just amazing. It's like for that brief 10-15 minutes drive home, you're not thinking about your work, you're not thinking about the people around you, your focus and heart is just purely on the Lord, just sending up praises after praises to Him. I just love it and yeah it's something I really look forward to. Oh and listening to live worship, man it's as good as just being there. I would sometimes find myself just clapping and lifting my hands while I'm waiting at a red light!
I gotta say I really feel blessed to be able to do this. I feel lucky and special to be able to worship and adore a God like mine. And the songs, be it whether it's from Chris Tomlin, or Hillsong, or Don Moen, it's all the same and they all lead me to one simple purpose: to be intimate and close to my God...and this while I'm in my car, whether I'm driving home or going to work.
It's such a real blessing indeed.
As I always tell myself, before I start my "session",
Keep your eyes on the road,
Keep your mind on the traffic,
But keep your heart with God.
P/S - Who cares if the person in the other car thinks I am making a full out of myself? God seems to think otherwise...
