Recently, a lady from Queensland, Australia sent out an e-mail that was forwarded by many prior to the floods, requesting prayers for her family, nation and the ones she knows and loves.
The e-mail seemed like just another ordinary forwarded mail, but she ended it by saying, 'If I get washed away, I'll see you on the other side of Jordan.'
This spoke to me, her faith was very great...she trusted God's choice for her life and not her own. She knew that God knew the best for her...even if it meant parting from her earthly life. Do you trust God as much as this Christian sister? Or do you rely on your own choices and cling on to this unsatisfying worldly life?
We've got to learn to let go...our destiny is to be with Him and sing of His glorious name each day, not cling to the life we've got in this sinful life.
By the way, when enquired, we found out that sister in Christ is still alive...She praises God for graciously looking after her family, loved ones and her nation. Miraculously she says, her whole family was untouched by the ferocious floods.
We've got to learn something from our sister in Christ, not only that God allowed her to live, sparing her life, answering her prayers, but also that we are to trust FULLY on God...let Him take control of our life and let Him make the choices for us.
Praise God for the love He bestowed on His children in Australia and let us pray for those who are affected, that they find comfort in God through these floods.
