what if..

was doing my QT yday and read from the Daily Bread online on Daniel 3:16-18 when the 3 men were facing persecution and had a choice to bow to other gods and then continue on with their lives OR to enter a burning furnace. the 3 men were facing a life and death(plus painful) decision and yet they chose NOT to bow to other gods, because they will worship God and God alone. and they said

"If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to save us from it, and He will rescue us from your hand, O King. But even if He does not, we want you to know, O King, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up"
-Daniel 3:16-18

its such that these men know that EVEN IF GOD really do not come and rescue them physically, they will rather go through the suffering and not worship the idols that have been set up. so they must have really known the grasped the full understanding of God in their lives! then i thought to myself, if i was placed in such a situation as to enter a burning fire before me, will i be bold enough to say "Yes, i will enter the fire" and believe that God will come and save me. i really don't know what i will do in such a situation.

k the song "Better is one day in your courts better is one day in your house better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere" just came into my head. so maybe i'll choose to enter the fire and trust God.

because if im not wrong in Daniel God was really in the fire with them because the people outside saw 4 figures in the fire and the 3 men came out of the fire unburnt. then i thought well maybe God would really enter into the fire last time but i cant imagine that happening now!! and THEN it hit me again that GOD IS A LIVING GOD!! what He does in the past, He will continue to do now! and what He does to another of His child, He will do to me too! im so glad to have this LIVING God in my life. and i got to start to grasp the full understanding of this term - "LIVING GOD". got to start to trust Him more and more, even with the little details of my life which i think He won't care. but i am starting to think and believe He really cares. =))

praying that He becomes so much more real and evident in my life.

now, im torn between this - SPORTS CAMP



which is superly funn and gonna be a GL..even more fun!! and with the sports club pple and just 7 days of madnesss..hahah..!!

or a probable Crusade FOC..which will be meaningful!! really hope they dun clash again..but i think they will =(( why does this always happen?? why are these 2 not independent objects in my life?? y must it be mutually exclusive??

im all His =))
