I think it's been a day of wow...what do you call such moments? heh. grace?
I checked my mail early this morning before I head for work and was rather surprised to see the daily devotion send by our church. In fact, it was only yesterday I was telling ann in service that I've not been receiving them for months. But what really shocked me was the word Zion and also because it was further emphasized in BOLD letters.
"...So if you want to be blessed, make sure that you are on the right mountain. You see, the law was given on Mount Sinai, but the Spirit on Mount Zion. That is why the Bible says that “you have not come to the mountain [Sinai] that may be touched and that burned with fire, and to blackness and darkness and tempest… But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels”. (Hebrews 12:18, 22) The Lord blesses you out of Zion (Psalm 128:5), and not Sinai!"
It was yesterday in my showers that I had a conversation with god about this word Zion that kept appearing in my spirit.
It was first mentioned by my colleague's dad who's a Pastor after we had a divine encounter.
Pastor Benjamin gave a verse with the word Zion on it during Genrev.
On Sunday, Pastor Prince mentioned it again.
And because it was alive in my spirit and I clearly knew it was the same feeling I always had, I checked the name Zion before I slept last night. I had even off my lights.
Just now at work, one of the girls shouted,"Zion is out there playing in the hall because the mum is around" "mum?" :)
I quickly went out to see who she was. On the day that I kept seeing his name, the mum appear before me for the first time. And rightly so she's from New Creation. Curious I asked her how her husband and her got the names independently, and she said they both were reading a daily devotion. Daily devotion??:) wow. I shared to her what happened this morning :)
I wonder at times why these things happen...does God wants me to meet the person or does he wants me know more about the word.
One thing I'm clear is that Zion is where grace lives. And as I was doing my work this afternoon, even now...I have mountain of work piling up waiting to be finished...I knew God was telling me to trust His grace. If I try to figure it all out, I'll get all stress out. But if I live trusting His grace to see me through, I learn to rest and enjoy the moment.
A clear example he showed me was what I encounter this morning at work...
"Your wish has been granted" my VP held a plastic bag with 13 round sitting mats for my kids.
"Woww...*beams* :):):) I was thinking about it the whole weekend"..it's been something I've been longing for the longest time since the day I started work here. The round mats worked well the last time to make my babies to even sit through the lesson. But instead, I had to make do now with the carpets because it was too expensive and was out of budget.
Last Fri, when I've given up hope for them to buy, I voice out to my Principal that I'm willing to pay for them and to help me get them if she's going to IKEA.
Now I get them for free. Amazingly, the "baby' who never seem to sit through my lesson, sat through it today on the mat! It worked =D
Dainty Sophia :)
A new girl called Sophia came today. Her names means wisdom. Always love the rich meaning found in this name. She's so dainty like a princess and BRILLIANT. She's only two and could recognized the letter A to Z. Definitely unlike a toddler. What's really sweet is when she initiated to give me a kiss on the cheek before she left. What a darling :)May I see more of His grace and fingerprints in every detail of my life in the days ahead =)
