Random thoughts again

Just had CU at college, it was really good. I haven't been able to go for ages because it clashed with a quintet rehearsal each week but that has all just changed so now I can go. We spent the hour in prayer, using the "one hour prayer clock"


(Technical probs, I don't get what is going on but you can see it if you click on the white box on the left!)

Jenny, who was leading, mentioned a bit in 2Chronicles 12:20 where the people said to God "We do not know what to do, but our eyes are upon you"...how awesome is that?! I'm so glad that I heard that verse today, we can apply it to so much. I never know what I'm doing with my life...be it why I'm at music college, when/how I'll be able to go back to Estonia, how I'm meant to afford to eat/pay rent/pay bills etc. I don't know what is going on relationships-wise, what I should be doing in different situations, etc..."but our eyes are upon you"...thats the important bit!

Also during the session we spent some time reading and meditating over passages of scripture by ourselves. I was chewing over 1Chronicles 16:7-36 (too much to quote here so follow the hyperlink, it's awesome!) one verse at a time. A couple of bits stuck out even more than the rest once I asked God to speak to me through the passage...verses 11, 12, 15, 19-22...

Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always. Remember the wonders he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced. He remembers his covenant forever, the word he commanded, for a thousand generations. When the people of Israel were but few in number, few indeed, and strangers in the land of Canaan, they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another. He allowed no man to oppress them; for their sake he rebuked kings: "Do not touch my anointed ones; do my prophets no harm."

Isaiah 54:16-17..."I have created the blacksmith who fans the coals beneath the forge and makes the weapons of destruction. And I have created the armies that destroy. But in that coming day no weapon turned against you will succeed. You will silence every voice raised up to accuse you. These benefits are enjoyed by the servants of the Lord; their vindication will come from me. I, the Lord, have spoken!"
