Evening Prayer

Jesus my Lord, thank you because you are always be there in my life

When I lost my way, do not know where I had to stride over, when my eyes began to blur, I was weary and burdened, desperate and were let down.  I get You always be my side.

You are my consolation place, a place where I was pouring my entire affliction. Thou see any cried and put my tears in Your wineskins.

When people reject me, not even You refuse me.  Though I was sinned to You, when I was come to you with a broken heart and shattered, You are not look at me with contempt even with lovingly You open Your hand and hugged me so tight.

Oh Jesus my Lord, You are so good, thank you so much because your unfailing love is infinite and interminable. Your protection and consolation always strengthen me in carrying out this tough day.

Although Your way out do not always comes immediately, I believe everything that happened to me just solely for my own good. For you who teaches me to put my faith and trust on You.

Thank you Jesus my Lord, thank you for any problems and hardship that You allow get into my life. I realized and more understand that I must be closer to Thee. It makes me not always rely on my own strength and wisdom. Only to you alone I handed all of the matters. Amen

God is Our Refuge

Some time ago. A security services company offering me to use escort services.  Their consideration is as woman corporate leader I need someone who has a special ability and trained in protecting a person from an unexpected and harmful situation. One from the board said: “Ma’am, I think you need it. This time there are some many unexpected thing that might threaten our safety. With a guard you will more secure.

I think this is the most ridiculous thing in my life if I use the escort services. I said to them: “Who do you think I am?  Do you think I am a Celebrity, billionaire, or someone very important from government? No! I am just an ordinary woman corporate leader. Many people in this country don’t know me. I am not very famous like Liliane Bettencourt or Christy Walton that people in this whole world knows who she is.”

A conversation above illustrates that in this world there are still many people who do not feel safe and comfortable in their lives. Maybe they feel insecure; they think that there is always a hazard that threatens the safety of their lives. Well, it is a normal. Crime does exist everywhere. This world already filled with various forms of crimes. That’s why the security companies growing faster lately.

As the son of God, I view this issue from the Christianity side. In fact, in the Holy Bible there are many verses in the Bible that gives our protection assurance. First, let’s we take a look in Deuteronomy 33:27:”The eternal God is your refuge,  and underneath are the everlasting arms. He will drive out your enemies before you, saying, ‘Destroy them!’ This verse firmly said that God will drive out our enemies and will destroy our enemies. This is a promise from God for our safety.

Hire dozens of guards not automatically ensure our safety. But our God give us safety and security assurance. As written in Psalm 91:11: “For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;” and in other verse of Psalm said: “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.”  Psalm 46:1.

My dear friends, the question is, if we truly persuaded and believe that God is our refuge and God will protect every step of our lives?  Do we still need a bodyguard in every our activity? A bodyguard still human being. God was created it. Bodyguard’s strength would not be able to counter God’s strength and ability. Let us together ponder the following verses:

 “My salvation and my honor depend on Go^; he is my mighty rock, my refuge. Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.”(Psalm 62:7-8)

We just need to trust in God at all times and surrender our lives into the God’s protection.Amen
