A sincere question to God Part III

Continued from here,

Let me go into detail. The first part of the chapter (verse 1 to 3) are verses that encourage and it also shows that my main enemy is actually fear. Quoting verse 1 which is my favorite verse in the whole Bible: “The Lord is my light and my salvation?whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life?of whom shall I be afraid?“. And it made me realize that yes – I was being afraid – maybe because things are not going as good as I would want them to. This chapter made me realize that my family’s security does not depend on my job, but it depends on God who gave it to me in the first place. It made me realize that no matter who or what goes against me, or if something goes wrong, as long as I am for God – I should be confident.

The second part of the Chapter is where it gets interesting. God pointed to me that what I was looking for was inside my heart all along – let me quote verse 4: “One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.” All along I knew what was missing, and it was my ministry service. Ever since I had my own family, I have set aside ministry and now it is calling me back. What type of ministry you might ask, it’s crystal clear to me now – I am being called back into music ministry. On verse 6 the Psalmist says: ” Then my head will be exalted above the enemies who surround me; at his tabernacle will I sacrifice with shouts of joy; I will sing and make music to the LORD.”

Having learned this, my next question, is when and how. God quickly responded as I read the rest of the chapter. First thing I should do is to “seek His face” which means to pray and study the Bible more and look for opportunities to serve God. And then ask for forgiveness for my misgivings. And finally – quoting verse 14: “Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.”

I will wait and it shall come to pass.
