I went to see the doctor this morning before I headed for work. My fever was gone when I woke up. The medication prescribed has eased up my cough, my throat is less irritating now and the flu has stopped considerably. Praise the Lord for that! At least I feel better now as compared to this morning when I came back from the wedding banquet.
I decided to go to work anyway as there are a couple of things that I needed to clear. I felt a little drowsy because the medicine I took was quite strong.
During lunch time I went up to the rooftop of my workplace to spend some time with the Lord and be away from the busyness of the office.
This morning I wrote in my previous blog that yesterday I did not feel like worshipping God because I was burdened for a few people.
As I spent time reflecting on that, I realised that there is no such thing as letting my mood decide whether I want to worship Him or not. Regardless of whatever state I may be in, I still have to worship my Lord. After all, He is the Almighty God.
If I always let my feelings affect my worship to Him, then I am not giving the Lord my full reverence. Instead I let circumstances control me. If that is the case, where does God stand in my life?
I do admit that it is a struggle but God must take precedence over everything else in me. If I do not do that, then He is not fully in control of my life.
It was a great time letting God speak to me in that 30 minutes or so. I surrendered to Him the burdens I have for my friends and I know He has taken over from there.
I shall end here. Time for dinner.
"Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth." John 4:23-24
"But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain." 1 Corinthians 15:57-58
