Fai†hfully Preparing my Fields for the Rain

:: Rainy days are bad? ::

I just came home from prayer meeting...

I had always hated the rain, it somehow always makes me sad or changes my mood to a very negative one but amazingly,
God made me see the rain in another way...

It has been raining these few days, and just a few days ago God told me to look at the rain... He asked if I knew why it is raining, and the only things I could think of were the bad things that usually happen like getting wet, sick, flu, slippery road, car accidents, etc. He told me to look carefully, beyond the rain... I could see that He has been giving grace like rain, pouring down his love on all of us! So these few days, everytime it rained I could only think about how graceful God is...

During Saturday, I was suppose to lead worship as well as today's prayer meeting. The rain and God's grace keep coming to my mind but I couldn't find any song that links to that, only the last line of "Spirit Touch the Church" has some link... So I completely had no idea what songs to lead until one morning when I woke up which I think was last Wednesday, I woke up with some songs in my head and I quickly find these songs and wrote them down and went to get them on Saturday before I went for cell group. Most of the songs were pretty much not linked to each other and I had quite alot of songs picked, I think about 7 songs... SO MUCH?!

Well, that's what I said to God... "SO MUCH?!" how to lead? I wanted to lead the same sets of songs for Sat and Tues, but apparently the Spirit lead me otherwise... In the end I only used 4 of songs for cell and miraculously these songs were linked to the Words taken that day!

Then today in prayer meeting, I used the rest of the songs because I wanted to bring out my experience with God, so insisted to put that song in my sequence, I also last minute added a song and last minute put together the order. I expected everything to not turn out very well cos of the lack of preparation but I had faith in God. So I just went on like any other worship... first 2 songs like normal with normal flaws then after the third song was something different, I went on with Spirtual singing and something happened...

I was suppose to say something, a prayer of some sort... but I couldn't find the words then the Spirit started leading me, word by word, which eventually linked to the last song! woo!

The funny thing was that, after the whole thing, Pastor said that the prayer was pretty much a summary of the things he wanted to share today also but I dunno why I just couldn't remember what I said... I had to take some time recapping what I said, good thing I burned a piece to listen to myself agian...

Now everytime it rains, I'm reminded that God gives grace like rain...
