STOP. Freeze. This is YOUR life. Now turn your speakers up. ;) I mean it, turn your speakers up. You'll make me happy if you listen to this song. It loops so you can listen to it as many times as you want (cough). It's wonderfully philosophical and when I first heard it, I was like "wow this is a good song. It makes me think about the life I'm leading! Now I shall buy the cd!". Lol. This lovely song which we all love *cough* is dedicated to two wacked out friends of mine (you know you guys are psycho.. I mean you guys took summer school!). Yup yup, so you guys already know who you are... the two people who are listening to the exact same sermon as me right now. Lol. Kitty and Viv. This song is dedicated to you guys. Aren't you guys psyched I dedicated a blog song to you? LOL. Btw, thanks Viv for hosting the song... again. Lol. Yikes, we are all so guilty of regurgitating the most cliched religious sayings in our prayers. Either that or asking God 'Can you give me this, this and that... then I'll do my devos'. :P Ai yah.. after listening to this.. I wanna listen to 'Majesty'. Viv, I am so addicted to that song.. lol. Last night I was listening to it over and over again.
Sometimes I feel as if we don't ask God to do something big in our life. We always ask "Oh God, can you help me to pass this test... can you give me a car? Can you let me make some friends? Can you let us have a good time whilst we're in California?".. and these are such petty things.. He wants us to ask for BIG things. For Him to change our lives. Change our life so dramatically for the good, when we look back, we wouldn't know what hit us. But no, we ask for such small things. But I know that God is looking down on us when we pray and saying "Why are you asking me to help you pass a test? Why are you asking me for such small things? Ask me for big things! I want to do something great in your life. Just ask and you will receive."
Now listening to this sermon, 'Prayer: the Remix', the speaker said our typical prayers usually start with 'Bless me.. bless us.. bless our day.. blah blah'.. but we are already blessed. We just don't see it. We are heirs of Christ! We will inherit this world if we believe in Him. I mean, we're related to the creator of this world! What more could we ask for?
Dum dum dum... So have you listened to the song yet? I think it's amazing. Lol. I am so hyper right now! Sometimes I wonder why God put me into a good family with a steady income, with a nice house and big trees, with my own room and my own spending money rather than an impoverished family in Africa. Why me? What did I do to deserve such wealth? :) Well I am happy and v. grateful. Majesty. Majesty. Your grace has found me just as I am, empty handed but alive in your hands. Singing, Majesty. Majesty. Forever I am changed by your love. In the presence of your majesty. Majesty. ;)
