" Give ear to my words, O Lord,
Consider my meditation
Give heed to the voice of my cry
My King and my God, For to You I will pray
My voice You shall hear in the morning, O Lord.
In the morning I will direct it to You, And I will look up" - Psalm5:1-3
A very apt psalm indeed as I had read in my QT this morning, an early riser like myself... these two days having to open the lab waking up at 5am and opening at 6am.. Thank God work is just a 20min walk away..
This waking hour beats even the Junior college days when I though 545am was bad enough!
Though now I'm feeling really lethargic, boiling water for a nice cuppa coffee, typing and reading my Bible will keepme from slumping over the lab bench...
The clouds that usually woo me were coloured deep red then gradually bursts into orange then fading merging into white...The reward, waking up before its light and then day break as I get ready and as I step out into the last moments of dawn, its truly breath-taking.
What a sight, even in the midst of a metropolitan city, the glory of God's creation... I pray.. though I am still half asleep..taking it in..
Yes Lord you hear my voice in the morning... I will direct it to you..
Today's agenda? Purpose...why do I live? why do I love, give and work. Day in day out, go to work , come back from work , have lunch, shepherd, meet people, shopping, housework, exercise....
I still struggle with this issue regarding my work... its easy, pays well, starts and finishes early leaving the whole afternoon for me to do whatever I want....Yet something is missing... something very essential..
it starts with a "P"... PASSION..... in fact a lot of important things start with P.. Purity, purpose... ok i'm losing the point here.
Is there more to this life? Is it purely earthly, physical needs for food, shelter and clothes that drive us to do what we do..
I think I'm still searching for my niche somewhere... work that I am truly passionate for and believe in.. something that I can give my whole heart to and still make a living..
Where is it hiding????? Is it missions, or the overseas 1 year dietitian free-lance job in UK.
Lord help me that You may be enough... daily light for the step that I am on...
