Prayer

Amazing God revealed something to me and I just have to share about it. It was a Sunday morning and so I wake up a little early to do my routine stuff. 1st thing to do is to rub my eyes and clean it, show a big yawn and lie around a little while more till I really need to get myself ready to go to church. Bath and get my clothes on. Grab my usual Padini jeans and put on whatever shirt that I want to wear. Depending on how I want to present myself that day lah. Make sure that I have a nice hair day, somehow I am just more particular about my hair on Sunday. Ahah. Now u know.


After that grab my “Our Daily Journey” quiet time material. That day the passage spoke about prayer. And it goes like “when you pray, go into the room so that you will not be seen. Do not be like the hypocrites who loves to pray in the synagogue to be seen by man. And your Father in heaven who sees it will reward you. I feel so strongly about this about myself and I am really guilty of this. Hypocrite is what I am. Da da da da da and den go to church and the same words was repeated again. Wah..i really feel that God is trying to speak to me something. This words comes into my mind.“Boy, you have been in this way for far too long and you need to change”. “Get down to your knees to pray and search me again”. It is good to find myself again with the Lord. The delight, joy, satisfaction, and peace in Him. Indeed there’s no other better place to find your comfort but to be in the arms of Jesus. The verse that says “Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart” is the thing that came into my mind. It was really a blessing to search and delight yourself in the Lord. Later on I find myself dumbfounded again by another verse that speaks about how God actually delight himself with us even before we delight ourselves in him. God delighting in us! Imagine a Father who sees his son after he comes back work, the joy and excitement that he gets. So also with God but it is more than that since He is God. Verse 17 says that “He will rejoice over you with singing” . Can u imagine that? God sings over us and dance over us. . This is one of my favourite verse

Zephaniah 3:17
“The Lord your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, He will quiet you with His love, he will rejoice over you with singing”.


This song written by Matt Redman speaks volumesssss of God’s love for us….


The Father's song
I have heard so many songs
Listened to a thousand tongues
But there is one
That sounds above them all
The Father’s song
The Father’s love
You sung it over me and for eternity
It’s written on my heart

CHORUS:
Heaven’s perfect melody
The Creator’s symphony
You are singing over me
The Father’s song
Heaven’s perfect mystery
The king of love has sent for me
And now you’re singing over me
The Father’s song

It’s Heaven’s perfect mystery
The king of love has sent for me
And now you’re singing over me

The Father’s song
The Father’s song
The Father’s love
You sung it over me and for eternity
It’s written on my heart


One of the reason why I like Matt Redman songs so much is that I think he is someone who meditates a lot. In ways how he actually like stand in awe of God by just remaining silent. I can really see that in him. Thanks Matt Redman.
