An Adventure
written at Saturday, November 12, 2011
My fifth semester in University is over,
leaving one more semester to finish for my undergraduate degree. I thank God
for the academic year that has been, including the many new opportunities, and
of course, new beginnings.
And tonight, reflecting on the day, and all
that has been, I was reminded today, "Heart of my own heart, whatever
befall, still be my vision, O Ruler of all." This little line from
"Be Thou My Vision" bleeds with earnestness. The acknowledgement of
God's almighty reign over all things, reigning even over the things that man
cannot control, the desire that He be the centre of every thought, motive, will
and action, and the yearning to live more and more like Him.
And as I depart for another journey over the
summer. I want this line to resonate within me. I want this to be a prayer that
echoes in every mountain, and every valley. I know that this journey will be
wonderful, because God, who is the Creator of all things good, will perfect and
finish what He had started in all those who earnestly and diligently seek Him.
That is a comforting thing to know. That is something that will give me peace
and hope as I lie down to rest at night and that when I wake up in the morning,
there will be a song, as another hymn writes, "Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God
almighty. Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee."
So goodnight for now, and will blog once again
from the other side.
I'm ready for an adventure.

Knowing
What matters supremely, therefore, is not
in the last analysis, the fact that I know God,
but the larger fact which underlies it --
the fact that He knows me.
J. I. Packer
