I found worship tonight really good, it felt different in a good sense. I remember being really really tired before worship, and also had this minor headache which was annoying..anyway at the end of worship, everything became good! I wasn't feeling tired any more, my eye's weren't killing me, and my headache was completely gone! So praise God! It felt as though worship sort of grew a level! But it might just be me since i haven't really been in the congregation worshipping lately. Then it was just really encouraging to see how God is changing the lives of so many people in China, and how He works by changing the most unchangeable of people. The greater the change in people, the greater the glory of God is revealed. It was also really touching how so many people just trusted in God and always just prayed to Him at all times. Whenever they had a problem, or a need, the first thing they would do is to pray, and God always answers them without fail! What impressed me was that some of their worship services were so simple and plain, and that they didn't have any instruments besides their voice, but at the same time still have such powerful and energetic worship! Makes me wonder if we removed all the instruments at church one day and we just had to worship with our voices alone, would be be as excited and as joyful as them?
Day 63.
Well now i'm at the second generation of Israelites, where almost all of the first generation people that were brought out of Egypt had died(i think..). So now Moses is leading the second generation to enter into the promise land, but first of course in order to take possesion of the land, they have to defeat all the enemies that are in their way. Anyway, after defeating some of their enemies, the Rueybenites and Gadites see that some of the land is good for livestock, and since they have lots of livestock they wanted to know if they can have those pieces of land. However when they asked Moses, he eneded up reproving them because they are almost about tto enter into the promise land(which is Canaan i think..), but yet they wanted to stay behind in some other and instead. By doing that, they would just be repeating what the previous generation did which made God angry and cursed them all.
So anyway the question is this: Are we like the Israelites when they had the promise land in sight, which was God's best for them, instead of moving into it, do we continue to remain at the current side we're in? Are we content with where we're at? And are we settling for less than God's best for us?
