This was proclaimed to Moses and it was not until Father mentioned the implied meaning, that the light-bulb in my head went up. Apparently, this was told to the Sadducees, who at that time did not believe in the resurrected Lord. This story was related to them to convince them that Jesus was indeed raised from the dead.
I have been reflecting quite abit about what it means to believe in the resurrected Lord. Everyday as I lay awake in bed, refusing to give in to the reality of life beckoning at me to get up for work, I tell myself I could just sleep forever. It seems the routine of life has stung me and I feel so much of the absence of God. Amazingly though, as I force myself out of bed, the energy and drive to begin on a brand new day never fails to get me going. Most of the time at least... The anxieties and worries of the day soon cloud my mind and I find myself fighting these thoughts and hoping that the day pans out well. At the end of the day, I ask myself is my life one that proclaims the resurrected Lord? The only answer I can find is that in my daily struggles I draw strength in knowing that Christ is risen and He will lift me up.
Recently, a string of events brought about much hope for me. I got an interview, which followed the appointment I made to speak with my Professors with regards to my decision to leave. Somehow, my concrete decision to leave was affirmed by the prospect of a new job. Soon, the interview was over, with mixed feelings on how it went. I was then faced with the dauting task of informing my Professors the very next day. Though I was asked to reconsider, I felt it was best to leave. I did however convinced myself to continue if nothing came out of the interview. Finally when I was offered the job, I struggled to come to terms with the mightly low salary. Though I got some repreive from an arrangement to get an increment after the probation period, I had to bite my teeth and trust that God will pull us through this initial period. Now, as I break the news to my Professors, I'm thinking how I can wrap things up on their side. I must say that God really works in His own ways and though we try our hardest to live our lives the best we can, it is really God who glues all things together. He is always there though we cannot comprehen with our senses. Always believe that our God is risen and He lives among us. He will carry us through the struggles of our daily grind and reveal moments of joy and His Glory in the things of the earth.
God bless you all and perserve in life. God has your back.
Thank you Lord for your omi-presence.
