I’m always trapped to this egocentric feeling of being left alone most of the time. This feeling is not uncommon to all leaders like me, who honestly invest their time, effort, energy and resources in order to lead people. It’s an uneasy feeling that nobody wanted to follow you, or nobody accomplished anything. It’s like total silence in a crowded place, what is really going on here?
As I reflect on how Moses comforts Joshua in Deuteronomy 31:8 “The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged”, I remember two persons who have been like a Moses to me: Patrick Tan and Albert Maglasang. They’re always around to lift my spirit and comfort me in those troubled moments. Thanks to both of you. Most of all, they would encourage me to run to our eternal refuge- Lord Jesus Christ (Psalm 46:1).
Our God would not cause anything to discourage us but it’s always the work of Holy Spirit to comfort us. As I lean my trust on Him, the anxious feeling is replaced by confidence of victory. The success of my plan depends on how much time I spend of the floor. After all, I am just His servant, died on myself and living in Him and for others.
Can you still see God’s glory amidst your desperate situation?
