Today is Maundy Thursday, the penultimate day leading up to Good Friday - the day where all believers in Jesus Christ remember the day He 'suffered under Pontius Pilate, died and was buried' as the Apostles' Creed goes.
This season of Lent for me has been a memorable one. I recall what happened on Ash Wednesday (which coincided with the Lunar New Year this year - a significant period for us Chinese as we too begin afresh and put the past behind). On that day, through my Quiet Time, I was reminded to put all my past behind me and look forward, just as Jesus looked forward towards Jerusalem, and everything else was on the sidelines.
Throughout this season, many things have happened but the one clear message so far is this: to continue to trust. In today's Quiet Time, I was reminded that I am still 'learning the lesson of trust in the school of trial'. I know that the LORD will provide and I am thankful to those who have been encouraging me to "hang in there" and "cling on to Him for dear life". It is easier said than done and this is truly the lesson of trust in the school of trial.
Well, it is the process rather than the end-product that's the most important. So, in this season of Lent, let us all be reminded of all that Christ did for us on the cross and that we are to "take up our cross" and trust Him for He is good.
Our LORD will never leave us nor forsake us and I pray that this will be your prayer as you approach and embrace the cross.
SOLI DEO GLORIA!
