Seizing the moment, not missing the opportunities:D
Yest, Dr Joyce Meyer tok abt how we shld seize the moment everyday and not let opportunities that can change our lives pass us by. At times, we may tink to ourselves, wow, wad a relief at that point of time i take a bold step to make tat decision or else things will never come to this point of stage. Indeed, there are many opportunities in life that come and go, and to some ppl, they relate all this as concidence; if they are meant to grab my attention it will someho, if it is not destined to grab my attention, then i shld just ignore it. However, i should not miss an opportunity just becase it is inconvenient for me, rather, i must discern more for opportunities to come.
I oso learn that i shld be a 'NOW' person; taking hold of each day, making it fruitful and exciting. In Ex3:13-14, God says that I Am Who I am, and similarly, if i know who I am in Christ, if i BELIEVE the promises that holds for me, my life will never be stagnant and i can find myself producing fruits everyday. Just like an apple tree; it know that it is an apple tree and that's y it produces apple fruits!!:D
God says that we shld live by faith and not by sight, and in Heb11:1, it says that Now faith is the substance of things hope for...., so faith is not faith unless it is now. Hence am i going to enjoy today?am i going to make the out of today?Don waste today just by worrying abt tml or regretting tml. make the most out of today.
Eph 5:15-17, it toks abt how we shld redeem time and understand what the will of the Lord is. God's will is that whatever thing i do, i do it passionately and that i will use the resources i have to be a blessing to other ppl.
Just like how the guy in the pool of Besethda who waited 38 yrs for healing; every yr only one person who was sick in the body can get into the pool and be healed, and because the guy was lame and could not walk, he waited in near the pool and everytime he wanted to get in, some other ppl will go before him. And this shows us how seizing the moment is so impt, if he could use his body to move even an inch each day, by the end of 38 yrs, he would have reached the edge of the pool and be healed without waiting for Jesus to come and healed him. How blind Bartemaues sream for Jesus when he saw Him coming; how he grab hold of each and every opportunity to grab hold of His attention despite ppl asking him to shut up.
This two stories have taught me that how we shld make full use of every day; how i should do the things i am passionate about which will bear fruits and be a blessing to other ppl, how i should seize the moment and not regretting it in future when i begin to look back.
On another note, today was travelling with my brother on the train and he mentioned to me that one of his medical group teacher begin to ask them why they ever want to study medicine and become doctor. And he told me that two ppl replied that it is God's calling for them. My brother may be feeling that these two person are just tinking too noble of themselves. However i was telling his that these two ppl are so blessed to discover their calling in life at this point of time. I told him that it is not easy to discover what purpose u hav in life and that even for myself i haven really discover my calling that God has for me. True enuf, they will all eventually grad and become wonderful doctors, but to this two ppl, more than just beoming a doctor, they have find assurance from God that the path they walked is in the right direction and no matter what happen, they noe that they will be fruitful and go on to achieve their destiny in life. I may not have find my true calling yet, but i believe that God is withholding it from me so that i can mould my character to prepare myself to achieve His purpose for me.
