What He initiates, He orchestrates..

"The Lord Replied, "My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest" Exodus 33:14

This verse marked a path to where God is leading me this year. Recently, a lot of things happened that caused me to really ponder on how God will use me for His glory this 2011. Since 2008 (the year I surrendered my life to Jesus), I have been groomed and equipped to be a leader in the ministry. This year though, is totally a whole new level for me. I felt God's presence more and I've heard His whispers and His Spirit's leading more clearly like I've never experienced before.


Truly, when you seek to desire Him more, He will reveal Himself to You even more. When You ask for a deeper relationship with Him, He will consume You like fire. This year, I believe:

He is shaking off my comfort zones.
He is enlarging my territory.
He is stretching my faith.
He is increasing my productivity.
He is challenging realities.
He is introducing impossibilities.
He is orchestrating what He initiated.

When I look back over all my crying-out-to-God moments, those times that I really asked Him about what His will is, I am really beginning to see how He orchestrates what He has started in the first place. Why did He gave me the talent of singing? Why did He allowed me to go throughout all my past sins? So that it could be a strong testimony now. Why did He chose to withhold certain blessings? So that I would become humble. Why did He didn't grant me answered prayers instantaneously? So that I would learn to wait on Him. There are so many downhill moments that He allowed to happen, so that He will all the more be magnified in my every weakness.

God is really moving. He is a self-revealing God and it's really magical to see how His purposes unfold. I am excited to see more of God's glory to appear in my life and to the thousands of lives I wish to see transformed.

Thank you God for Your revelations and Your unfailing love that never ceases to amaze me. :)
