i like the sermon i heard the other day... 講到有關"神的時間還沒有到". sometimes (or most of the time) when what we hoped/prayed have finally come to reality, we usually would quickly accept it and praise God for its happening as if it's God's timing now that He've answered our prayers... at least that's what i've relied on many times as to God's guidance. well, this time i was being reminded to when do you consider "God's time has arrived?" ---> i wait, 不用自己的手去做. even when it 'appears' to be "God's purpose/timing". saul was in david's hands TWO times and david could have said that it's God who brought saul before him and so he could just kill saul and made himself king instead of waiting for years... hunting down by saul. he waited..... and chose NOT to do it by his own hands.
i've heard of this scripture explaining david's integrity, but... this time i get to probe more into God's timing... God's doing... instead of focusing on what david has always wanted, and seemingly being a GO - a green light, or his character. indeed he was a man after God's heart, fearing God, but there's more to it... david wants God to do it.. he wants to make sure it IS God who put him there, on the throne, w/o his own help. he knew it was God; He meant it.
Lord, God, make me... not making things happen by my own hands, though often i would wanna 'help You,' but it's actually my worries that made me do it. let Your sovereignty reign... above all my things, my major/trivia life decisions! (:
