Prayer meeting in the sanctuary tonight was good, although everyone felt so far.. maybe it was because i was right at the back! But God's presence was definitely there, and it was really good to just to come together as a church family and to seek God together. Found it really easy to worship tonight because we had so much extra room to just spread our hands and do whatever we want, it felt so much less restricted. Looking forward to this sunday again, can't wait to be back in God's house!
Day 124.
David led a pretty interesting life, first being chased by his father-in-law, Saul, and now he's being chased by his very own son Absalom. I think the life that he had was pretty crazy.. the first part of his life was consisted of running for his life against the king, but after many years, God delievered him and he became king instead. Then after being king of Israel, his own son rises up against him and causes a rebellion, which lead David to run for his life yet again! But amazingly throughout his whole life, David trusted in God no matter what happened. He never blamed God, or cursed Him, but instead continually prayed to Him trusting in Him to provide and to protect him. I can't imagine myself going through the same thing, i might have given up a long time ago.. Anyway, David's army went against Israel, which was under Absalom's control, and David won. Absalom was killed in the forest because his head got tangled in the branches of an oak tree..
This is my prayer today.
Psalm 27:4-5
4 One thing I have desired of the LORD,
That will I seek:
That I may dwell in the house of the LORD
All the days of my life,
To behold the beauty of the LORD,
And to inquire in His temple.
5 For in the time of trouble
He shall hide me in His pavilion;
In the secret place of His tabernacle
He shall hide me;
He shall set me high upon a rock.
