what happened today

Clem: how was church? and weekend? update! hehh

Today we learnt about pursuing God's will.

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart,

And lean not on your own understanding;

In all your ways acknowledge Him,

And He shall direct your paths.

Proverbs 3:5-6

Two learning points:
-God doesn't give us information for consideration, but for participation.
-In the process of discovering God's will, we discover God.

Some verses that were shared: Psalm 34:4, Psalm 25:4-5, Psalm 139, Psalm 103-104

Two new things i learnt/was reminded of today:
-God wants us to know His will even more than we want to know it; broken people find it easier to discern God's will because they have less of the idea that they are in control of their lives
- God is our Creator (cf Psalm 139), and loves us, and therefore is the best Person we could wish for to direct our lives.

another poem heh.

Quiet Peace
O Lord, my heart is all a prayer,
But silent unto Thee;
I am too tired to look for words,
I rest upon Thy sympathy
To understand when I am dumb;
And well I know Thou hearest me.

I know Thou hearest me because
A quiet peace comes down to me,
And fills the places where before
Weak thoughts were wandering wearily;
And deep within me it is calm,
Though waves are tossing outwardly.
