Indeed, my life does feel like a little ‘Abrahamic’ journey, especially these past few weeks. As Abraham has to travel around due to many reasons, one of the countries were Egypt, because he was forced by the famine. And as he was asked politely to leave Egypt, me too. Just maybe, what I thought was my Canaan is actually my Egypt, that I need to go there because there’s a need to. Or maybe I should go around a bit more. I don’t know.. only God knows.
However, just as Abraham left Egypt with many gifts and presents, I think I left with many gifts and presents as well. While the action in itself is a giant leap of faith for me, and when I thought this journey will take months just like the last time, It took a mere two weeks only! Moreover, because of this, hearts are opened, and stories are told. And God even gave me ample time, to think, to do what I need to do, and to do what I thought I will not be able to do. I can only say: How great is my God!
So… yeah. When I need to go from my ‘Ur’ to ‘Haran’, called to ‘Canaan’, ran from the ‘famine’ to ‘Egypt’, and anything else that can happen in the future, I know He’s there, beside me. My faith might not be as big as Abram’s, and a bad taste of doubts definitely lingers in my mind and heart. But I know that I’ll try to trust you more and more, my Lord. I would like to have a heart of worship and a heart as a servant, and give it all back to you. my dear Jesus..
