11:47 AM

Sometimes it's so amazing how God works. These few days I have been busy playing for evening mass. He has sent an enthusatic and able helper, Audrey to help me for evening mass. Alleluia! These few days.. i feel that i am playing for more masses. For example, last Sunday, I have to play for 2 masses (supposedly 3 masses), 6.45am, 9.30am (supposedly) and 11am. But I know that God has put me to the test which I faltered.

It all happened on Sat evening: Suszanne sms me to ask me to play for 9.30am mass as she couldnt find her organist. But then, i was in doubt, in doubt because I was afraid that i could not handle it, 3 consecutive masses.. no joke... I know that God has called me to serve him more. but i doubt my abililty. I sms back telling Suszanne to look for other organist, but if she really couldnt find, I will help. I called my facile Murphy and speak to him about it. He suggested I should go, and not doubt Him, He will give me strength to handle 3 masses, if He asked me to. In the end, i agreed to help

But I know that I was being put to the test by God to see if I am obedient in serving Him. Miraculously, an hour before 9.30am mass, Suszan smsed me telling me that she has found her organist. I came to realise that it was a test for me, a test of obedience, a test of faith, I have faltered and failed Him, although I did agree to help in the end, but after a long consideration and consultation. Sighz.

You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord
who abide in his shadow for life
Say to the Lord, "My refuge,
my rock in whom I trust!"

And He will raise you up
On Eagle's wings
bear you on the breath of dawn,
make you to shine like the sun
and hold you in the palm of his hand

The snare of the fowler will never capture you
and famine will bring you no fear
Under his wings your refuge,
His faithfulness your shield

And He will raise you up
On Eagle's wings
bear you on the breath of dawn,
make you to shine like the sun
and hold you in the palm of his hand

You need not fear the terror of the night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
though thousands fall about you,
Near you it shall not come.
And He will raise you up
On Eagle's wings
bear you on the breath of dawn,
make you to shine like the sun
and hold you in the palm of his hand

For to his angels he's given a command
to guard you in all of your ways;
up on their hands they will bear you up,
lest you dash your foot against a stone
And He will raise you up
On Eagle's wings
bear you on the breath of dawn,
make you to shine like the sun
and hold you in the palm of his hand
