Experience of Christ: In Living

Experiencing the Lord in every situation is a blessing in disguise. Though every step of the believers is directed by the Lord, it is possible for one not to reckon the Lord’s way in dealing with His chosen. But for those who did, it's an experience all the way and worth it's reckoning. 

As for me, I have been learning to bring every matter to the Lord in prayer. As I did so, the Lord reminded me about the ongoing processes of my daughter's preparation for her further studies in Taiwan. For the documents that were issued by the school and the board, we have received them well in time. But for the documents that needed my own preparation, I also prepared them well in time. Inwardly, the Lord led me when to apply for it, when to go Delhi for its authentication. I could just feel the Lord’s hand in every step of the process letting me know, even the date on which I should visit the school and also the embassy. Everything worked out just in time. 

On the 22nd June, I went to the school as I had planned the week before, and on the same day, to Taiwan embassy in Delhi for the authentication. Through all these processes, the experience of Christ was all that stood out. The same thing could be done by anybody on any day sans the experience of Christ. But the points is the experience of Christ in every matter concerning us.

Similarly, for my son's secondth board exam on Maths result, my niece's exam for her future studies, and my plan for the ministry journey. Everything to the Lord in prayer. What a blessing that we have the living God to whom we can bring everything! 

To this extent, I have established a weekly family prayer time and fellowship on Monday. It was a family time to consider every matter of the family and pray together. In this way, the whole family is ushered to a life of prayer and trusting in the Lord for everything. Nothing is to be taken for granted. At all times for all things, looking to the Lord for His grace and blessings. No matter what, experience the Lord through everything. The ultimate goal of such a life is to gain Christ and be fully matured to fulfill His divine and eternal purpose. This is a life lived for the experience and gaining of Christ.
