My soul faints with longing for your salvation, but I have put my hope in your word.
What do I long for?
When did I faint? I once fainted studying for MBA. It was hard because I did ministry, full time work and then studied full time. My body could not handle anymore.
I fainted on the street and hit my head. My body gave up.
This guy fainted not because of his study but because he longed for God's salvation. He fainted by looking at God's promise.
When he fainted he had the word of God. In his fainting situation, he thought about God's word. When I look at this verse, I have nothing to say but what a wretched person I am. I am the most self centered and stubborn person but God's word is more powerful than that.
What do I long for?
Lately I tasted the sweetness of running. Once I start running, I can taste its sweetness. Likewise, I am also tasting God's word which is so sweet.
Psalm 119 is so sweet. Indeed it is God's grace that I can taste its sweetness. God's word preserves my life according to God's love for me. Where can I put my trust?
Gen 1:27 is my key verse.
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.When I look at myself and when others look at me, what do they see?
They must see the image of God in me. But I am so strong and his image is so weak, they see me, not Jesus in me.
But the word of God says that Jesus came to restore us in his image. I can put my hope on this word. May the words of my mouth and meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, my Rock and salvation.
I thank God for giving me his wisdom that I must do less so that Christ may do more thru me.
LESS stands for
Listen to the word of God
Empowered by the Spirit of God
Serve Christ and his people
Share the good news of God.
I am waiting your salvation with hope and faith. I know you have promised us and made us.
Help me to put my trust in your words and do LESS.
I want to more but help me do LESS and Jesus' image can be shown in myself.
