wait upon the Lord

jaeson ma, in one of his sermons, talks about isaiah 40:31, "But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength"

and from this he derived his 2 hourly prayer/waiting thing, to sensitize himself to God's Spirit before he begins his day. i've been trying this yet i keep falling asleep while waiting haha. but one thing has become apparent, i'm more willing to do my QT, since i decided that it's ok even if i fall asleep while 'waiting'.

and i guess through this, my walk with God has grown closer. and i've been becoming more and more convicted that overcoming sin is not by my own effort, but by God's grace. it's always been head knowledge, but now its heart knowledge too. when i walk close to God, i realise the temptation doesnt hold much strength.

its not so much of psychoing yourself that you wont fall into the devil's lies, its not so much of choosing and forcing yourself to walk the narrow path; when i'm in communion with God, i see these things come naturally. its just all about making this my main goal, to have the glory of God shine in me; everything else is a by product, signs and miracles, being a light for others, being empowered, its all the result of a hot walk with God.

and im loving it :D
