Today, the whole youth service came together and read Psalm 27 during church service.
Suddenly, I was overwhelmed with verses 13 and 14.
Just a day ago, I received news that one of my secondary school classmates, Eugene (not his real name) suffered a relapse. He was found to have cancer of the blood a few years. Thankfully, he was able to overcome the illness at that time.
Until now.
And so it happens that Eugene had a very good friend, Jason (not his real name again). I was in the same class as the two of them when I was Sec. 3 and Sec. 4.
Jason had passed away about 4 years ago. Cancer of the blood as well.
I really asked God "Why?". Eugene and Jason are both of the same age as me. Good academic results. Good people. Good characters.
My heart was really heavy today when I went for Youth Service. When I read Psalm 27, it gave me great comfort. Though I still don't have an answer as to why things had to happen to Eugene and Jason, I believed that I will eventually see the goodness of God in this fallen world, and not just tragedies. I just need to wait.
Life can be unpredictable. The only constant we have is God. Shouldn't we give all that we have to worship Him?
There's something practical you can do for Eugene. If you're between 17 - 50 years old and are reasonably healthy, do go down and register yourself as a Bone Marrow donor. You just need to give a small amount of blood to be checked and fill up a simple form. Find out more at this website: The Bone Marrow Donor Programme. You can save lives.
Suddenly, I was overwhelmed with verses 13 and 14.
13 I am still confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the LORD
in the land of the living.
14 Wait for the LORD;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the LORD.

What does the verses say to you?
I must not be afraid of the evil in this world,but we must ask God to help us and protect us.For God's perfect love drives out perfect fear.God will be there for you in times of need.
How can i apply this verse in my life?
I must trust that God will help me to get what is beneficial for me, and not worry about my tomorrow.God has a plan for me and he was,is , and will bethere for me.
A short prayer.
God teach me not to worry about tomorrow but live today to its fullest, for i trust in you.Psalms 27:14 asked me to wait for the lord,wait heart and wait for the lord.Teach me to wait and not be impatient .Use me to teach the people around me likewise.Thank you god,in jesus name, AMEN!
