Psalms 16:7-11
I will praise the LORD, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me.
I have set the LORD always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure,
Because you will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your Holy One see decay.
You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.


Seek, Praise and Trust in the LORD

Right now I am not sure if it’s really all bad that I came to this place. It is in Mithapur I find time with the LORD and find time to think about things. Every morning and night I will worship the LORD. Sometimes I just feel so sleepy because I kept waking up in the middle of the night. I wasn’t able to concentrate when reading God’s word, but at least I still have time to worship him and praise him. Prayers to God could drag on for a while since there isn’t anything else to do except to pray. With all the distractions away from me, I was able to focus more on Him and less on MSN and my bass guitar.

Trust
Initially, it felt very bad. Though I still miss home a lot, but I guess I am coping so much better than before. I know God has been carrying me all along since I came to India. Even in my darkest moments, He found me and carried me through my darkest time. God will never abandon me nor let me see decay. I do feel that he had guided me to this place and I trust that for whatever reasons He put me here, He must have my well-being at heart.

Praise
Praise God with our actions. It easy to say something but doing it is another thing. To say we love our neighbors and actually loving them is two different things. Talk is cheap; doing it is what gives values to what we speak of. In James 2:17, faith not accompanied with deed is nothing. Praise God not only with our tongue but with our deeds. Let your heart instruct you. Follow your heart and He will guide you to perform His deeds. Through this, we can truly say we are praising God. I personally have been touched by even the smallest kind gestures like greetings in the morning. Be sincere when we do a kind gesture for all these are pleasant in the eyes of the LORD. We never knew when we touch the life of someone through our kind actions.

Seek
Next time even when you think you don’t have time for a little bit of bible reading, I guess the least you can do, instead of shutting your eyes and going straight to sleep. Just drop a short prayer and say hi to God. At least tell Him you haven’t forgotten Him. It won’t take you more than a minute.
