Our Hope Endures

You would think only so much can go wrong
Calamity only strikes once
And you assume this one has suffered her share
Life will be kinder from here
Oh, but sometimes the sun stays hidden for years
Sometimes the sky rains night after night
When will it clear?

But our Hope endures the worst of conditions
It's more than our optimism
Let the earth quake
Our Hope is unchanged

How do we comprehend peace within pain?
Or joy at a good man's wake?
Walk a mile with the woman whose body is torn
From illness, but she marches on.
Oh, 'cause sometimes the sun stays hidden for years
Sometimes the sky rains night after night
When will it clear?

But our Hope endures the worst of conditions
It's more than our optimism
Let the earth quake
Our Hope is unchanged

Emmanuel, God is with us
El Shaddai, all sufficient
We never walk alone
And this is our hope

But our Hope endures the worst of conditions
It's more than our optimism
Let the earth quake
Our Hope is unchanged

Doesnt this song remind us of what kind of horrors the world out there are facing? Lies, deceit, pain, death, loss of a family member, sickness, insecurity, etc. Here we are, enjoying the security God has provided, and the endless praises we give to God. Sometimes we forget what is out there. Have we really served God hard enough? Or are we just merely praising, worshipping, doing our own quiet time and is that all to our christian life? We take our extra time to evangelise on the un-believers and sometimes find them a pain in the butt. Isnt that true? Pioneering is difficult, and sometimes can suck the life out of you. People do not only reject you, but they mock your faith in Christ. You are hurt and you decide to give up. Has that happened to us? Or has it unknowingly?
God calls his people to complete the great commission. This task is not just another task. Listen people. At the end of the day, what happens here is a mere preparation for eternity. You have but just an average of 70 years here? And tell me, which part of you do you think you are worthy of praise? Which part of you do you think you deserve Gods' praises? This is not just a task. Its' a privilege. God has called you to do Gods' work. Dont you feel special? Its a battle against the dark forces of this world. A battle of life and death. We have to put on the best armor we can get, and the sharpest sword we can get. The undying commitment to our savior, Christ Jesus, is the only thing that is of worth.

Im down with a weird sickness today.. It really sucks. I could'nt go for X2 meeting thanks to it. I had to go to the washroom for like 5-6 times yesterday. It didnt make sense. I didnt eat anything stupid. Anyway, i feel really weak now. I just pray that i will be able to go for service later.

Father in Heaven,
May you heal this wretched world of its plague, and flood us with your love. I pray that today, you will put in me a undying passion for your name to be spread throughout this world. I pray also that you will heal me of this weird sickness and give me the strength to fight on. Thank you Jesus. In your name i pray, Amen
