When I went to Leyte alone some years ago, finding my way to the typhoon Haiyan victims, I was so blessed that the Lord has provided a team to work with me from the time I stepped on that land. I can still remember them today. I am just so thankful for their lives. I have faith that the Lord has been putting them in higher places now, administering fruitful ministries.
The thing that has struck me most that time was my 6-hour "God moment". I was a chance passenger for a ferry from Hilongos to Cebu and by the time I came to the port, I realized I had to wait for 6 hours for me to take off to the other Island. Again, I was alone. In that 6 long hours, I was recurrently asking the Lord out of tiredness from all the toil in the previous ministry. I asked Him, "why am I alone? what am I doing here? Did You really call me to do these things? " and all these funny yet valid questions aroused my longing soul, as I was just crying my heart out to Him before the heavens, the sea and all the rats under my feet.
In my despair, I was embraced by His grace and love as He has given me this beautiful answer when the sun started to set that time..
"Can't you see my daughter, you are not alone... I am with You all along.."
And tears poured out.. Truly I am called, I am loved, I am not alone... even up to this day!
I love you my faithful Lord Jesus!
I remember when God has let the sun to "stand still" during the battle of Joshua against the enemies.." which in Hebrew also translates to Greek root words, "when the Son stood still on the cross".... I believe, this is the Lord, standing still as I fight my battles too. I am not alone in these battles as myself and my God are in these together.. so are you and Him..
For whatever it is that is keeping you from moving forward, I tell you:
Don't stop, take courage, press on!
The Lord is with you, as you remain in Him!
"Then Joshua spoke to the Lord in the day when the Lord delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel: Sun, stand still over Gibeon; and Moon, in the Valley of Aijalon. So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, till the people had revenge upon their enemies. Is this not written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and did not hastened to go down for about a whole day. And there has been no day like that, before it or after it, that the Lord heeded a voice of a man; for the Lord fought for Israel (Joshua 10:12-14)."
