Proverbs 31:30
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
RAIN DOWN by Delirious
Looks like tonight, the sky is heavy
Feels like the winds are gonna change
Beneath the feet the earth is ready
I know it's time for Heaven's rain
It's gonna rain
Cause living water we desire
To flood our hearts with holy fire
Rain down, all around the world we're singing
Rain down, can you hear the earth is singing
Rain down, my heart is dry but still i'm singing
Rain down, rain it down on me
Back to the start, my heart is heavy
Feels like it's time to dream again
I see the clouds and yes i'm ready
To dance upon this barren land
Hope in my hands
Do not shut, do not shut, do not shut the Heavens
But open up, open up, open up our hearts
Give me strength to cross this water
Keep my feet upon Your altar, rain down
Give me strength to cross this water
Keep my feet, don't let me falter, rain down
it's so tough reading the book of Ecclesiastes (and i thought Proverbs was a challenge) because the title of the first chapter says "everything is meaningless". it's like what? why is there such a book in God's Word? it goes on to say "wisdom is meaningless, pleasures are meaningless, toil is meaningless..." and down to oppression, toil, friendlessness and that advancement is meaningless! it's like the total opposite of Proverbs where wisdom is described as one of the most important traits to have and here in Ecclesiastes it says that it's meaningless?! maybe i'll understand more as i continue to read that book because i'm only at chapter 6. it's depressing reading this book. eurgh.
i went for the consecration night in the west zone yesterday and we were praying for people to come for the alpha course. i was thinking how i can ask my non-Christians to come for it but it's difficult because it's for 10 weeks and religion's always a touchy subject. *sigh* but as i prayed with the rest i realised that if i don't ask anyone at all, all i will get is a 100% no. but if i were to just open my mouth to ask, there's a 50-50 chance that they might say yes. (so.. heh heh.. watch out friends!) and while we were worshipping God with songs of praise and worship i suddenly had a flashback of Cece Winans saying, "I am a woman who will continue worshipping God even if there's no one else to worship Him with me." ah, i pray that i'll be like that always and that my brothers and sisters around me can say the same too. :)
