Highway Reminders

I took a personal drive back home last weekend. It's been a while since I've done that. Honestly, I was a little fearful about driving down to KL with the unpredictable condition of my car.


5hours journey alone can be quite... drowsy and boring. But good thing the sermon preached in my church a week before that was on spiritual discipline, in specific, the discipline of meditation. I took the opportunity to have a 5hours meditation upon the Lord and you know what, the journey didn't seem that boring after all cause' my God is not a boring God!


Few symbolic scenes appeared in a tangible manner before my eyes as I drove on the north-south highway speaking to God. Firstly, you gotta know that throughout my 5hours journey, it rained like 80% of the time. But oddly enough, as I was driving, I unconsciously turned to my right to look at the sky and lo and behold, a couple miles away I saw an astounding image of the sun's ray beaming through ever so beautifully amid the dark clouds. It looked something like this (disclaimer: the photo does not do justice to what I witnessed with my own eyes).

We usually see this kind of image on postcards but I saw it with my own eyes. It captivated me and I couldn't take my eyes of it. I slowed down a little and soaked myself into it for a while. Through that beautiful image, God reaffirmed my heart that though dark clouds may be whirling around me, the light of His holiness and love will never fail to beam through the darkness. Looking at that image, I felt... at peace.

The second image that I saw were the mountains along the highway. I was reminded that I've been called to be a mighty warrior, though I don't necessarily feel like one at this point. Nevertheless, God has his funny way of reminding us things at the most unexpected moment. Through the image of those scenic mountains, I'm reminded that we are called to be conquerors... to be warriors...

to be Mountain Movers.

"Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, 

you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. 

Nothing will be impossible for you.”

Matthew 17: 20

We've been called to be overcomers of impossibilities, warriors of the Mighty God. We need to live our faith in this Mighty God over and over again. Even when the odds are stacked against us and even when we're broken down in our lives for whatever reasons to the point where only a glimpse of faith remains in us, yet it is exactly this small little glimpse that will be our weapon to move the mountains of adversity. It is this small glimpse of faith that you have in Him that will tag you as

"Mountain mover, Overcomer of impossibilities, Warrior of the Mighty God".

Even in our circumstances - which means even in our failures, our disappointments, our struggles, our tears, our brokenness - the joy that we have is that we are still more than conquerors because God's love penetrates all these darkness of human pain.

"No, in all these things we are more than conquerors  

through him who loved us. 

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, 

neither angels nor demons, 

neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 

neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, 

will be able to separate us from the love of God that is 

in Christ Jesus our Lord." 

Romans 8: 37- 39

Thank you Lord for the tangible reminders.

Oh, and thank you for keeping my car alive too! :) You rock!
