Quiet Time 28 March 2012

Teach me how to live, O LORD.
Lead me along the right path,
for my enemies are waiting for me. (Psalm 27:11 NLT)

Excerpt of devotion:

"When He came, there was no light. When he died, there was no darkness."

I think I take the word "darkness" very lightly. i don't literally live in the world of darkness (think sun, lamps, lights aka natural & artificial sources of lights). I know where I am going and I know I won't fall cos I can see.. (Perhaps that can equate to pride as well?)

But it's true, if I don't have Christ in my life, I'm already living in the world of darkness.

No Christ = Darkness. No light.
Christ = Light. No darkness.

If there is no Christ in my life, I'm jus groping my way around, just living life as it is, going about daily routine, growing old, and eventually die. No purpose, no aim. Well, i still can plan stuff like what I wanna achieve etc, but still, it's so futile Cos u can't bring ur achievements into e grave with u!

Isn't it sometimes very perplexing, to think about life? Well, I guess I'm not God, so ... Yeah.

Essentially, God created me hence I believe I am created to live for God, who's my Creator and my Planner. To stay close to God, and worship Him in every sense of the word. To let Him guide me and lead me. It makes sense to follow whoever has created me isn't it?

The verse speaks to me a lot. I'm humbled by the writer (David) who is a great king and yet asked God to teach him how to live!

I want to be like David, to remain humble, meek and childlike before God. God, transform my life please!
