go climb a mountain

it's been ages , eh ... ...

just got back from church. or actually, dinner AFTER church. God bless Joshua Ong for driving us to Raffles Place. their char kuey teow is the rox! it's on the corner of johnston st and ... i forget. go ask him instead.

church sharing was awesome , so many ppl giving their life to Christ. me ... sorta zoned out at the start of the sermon, and that was because God hit me real hard when Rob said something about "when Jesus wanted to seek refuge in the Lord, he would climb a mountain"

and that hit me. most of the time when we are burnt out, yup we go to a quiet place. and relax.

why would Jesus do the opposite, grab his hiking boots and go climb a mountain?

God asked me - at what point of time do i feel most alone?

usually its when i'm climbing a high mountain in life. either that or weathering a storm. those times, in life, i feel the most alone, because apart from God and a few close friends, usually everyone just leaves you alone. or you "island" yourself.

so the next time u wanna take refuge in the Lord, don't relax kick back and lie down. take the challenge, press in harder and serve harder. u'll find that when u push harder than before u'll find true peace and refuge in the ways of the Lord.
