“But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. (Luke 15:22)

I had just started university and was becoming extremely sick of the Singaporean grind. It felt like everyone around me was chasing after success and grades. People around me seemed to be caring more about their lives than to know God. In Luke 7:36-38, there was a woman who barged into the Pharisee’s house where Jesus was reclining at, who broke her alabaster flask of ointment. In Luke 10:38-42, Mary dropped everything just to sit at Jesus’ feet. My cry is for us to see the exceeding worth of God, that we’d give everything just to be after Him.

Lyrics

“Even when things don’t make sense / When I’ve come right to the end / Find my heart without offense / Still I’m after you / God I’m after you”

Earlier last year, my dad passed away unexpectedly from a heart attack. It felt as though my entire world crumbled. Yet day by day, Holy Spirit was challenging me to learn to trust Him even when things didn’t make sense, to build my foundation on Him. The most brutally honest moment I had with Holy Spirit was when He asked me “Wilbert, are you offended with me when things don’t go your way?” I felt that God was excavating pride and anger, and was replacing it with a heart posture of humility and trust in the consistent nature of God.
