Disappointed.

Yes. I’m disappointed that despite me not posting the devotionals for the past week or so, no one actually asked about it. But since it’s Easter, the season of forgiveness, let’s try again yes? Let’s take responsibility for our walk with God and really be serious about Him.

Truth is, no one is immune to the (hopefully) occasional bouts of laziness. As students with a responsibility to our parents, as well as ourselves, we are understandably hard-pressed to juggle everything on our platters, especially in times like this, when we are all inundated by work, work and more work, on top of the church activities that some of us are committed to.

I understand, completely.

And this, my beloved girls and boys, is the reason why we need to cling on to Him even more than before. Cut out everything else, “Left for Dead” time, surfing internet time, online shopping time (that’s me), even sleeping time, but do not cut out time spent in His presence.

Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint. – Isaiah 40:28-31

The Word reminds us that even young people (like you and erm, me) will grow weary at times, but wait on the Lord and He shall make you strong again. To wait on Him is to spend time in His presence so come on now my loves, let’s rise up and re-focus our vision towards the light. I’m speaking to myself as much as I’m speaking to you here so we will do this together ok? Come the end of the semester, I pray that all of us here will have grown in one way or another in our walk with God.

Right. Don’t waste this beautiful holiday, ponder over what Josh Lauzy preached on in cell. Salvation truly is a amazing gift that you and I have absolutely no business receiving, and yet, it is presented to us, freely given, lovingly sacrificed, just so we can have a relationship with our Creator God. Easter truly is a day of celebration! Not only because Jesus hung on the cross for our sins but more so that He overcame death so we can have life, and life everlasting. In a couple of hours would be Easter Sunday, 2000 over years ago, Jesus rose from the dead on a Sunday Morning and with His resurrection came a restoration of hopes and dreams, where once people were doomed to die, now they can live forever.

I know some of you are tired. Some other disappointed maybe? Or a couple upset about things? Fret not! The power of the resurrection is available for you today! So let’s wait on Him, continue to trust in Him and He shall restore all brokenness so your dreams and hopes can live again.

Phew! That was one long message. Anyway, will not bore you further. Come back soon! I’m gonna post pictures yep? 🙂

Love!

Jamie.
