Well, i wonder whether anyone will be reading this more or less dead blog where I have never posted for eons of years. However, I really think I should share something that I have learnt from QT today.
Decided to read 1 Samuel after yesterday sermon. God doesn't disappoint.... when does He ever disappoint? Learnt so much from such a minor character- 2 Chapters at most... but her life change Israel... Her life exude something that many other characters don't. Simple woman, simple request, Giant faith and Giant woman of God... A character that we can seriously learn from....
5 things that I have gathered from today's QT:
1) When she was grieving really hard, inconsolable... She turn to God... not find comfort in other things... (e.g. husband, material possessions like bigger portion)
2) Earnest, Sincere and intense prayer... so focused... while when we are in trouble or greiving, our prayers are just so half-hearted. same for in times of peace (Mind and heart totally focus on God vs of focus on problems)
3) First thing that she thought of when she is blessed is to bless the Lord... Never withold anything if she is blessed... Even giving up the thing that she has requested for
4)Once after prayer, she immediately stop grieving... (mega trust and faith... no signs of worry)
5) Testify to God's goodness even when facing immediate separation of her most precious thing (v 24-28)
Such a woman of God... I really feel so ashamed of myself... a giant character that i must learn from :D
