No Compromise

Leviticus 6:12


The fire on the altar must be kept burning; it must not go out. Every morning the priest is to add firewood and arrange the burnt offering on the fire and burn the fat of the fellowship offering on it.

Before I read the bible, I was told to welcome His presence first so that I'd be able to reach the depth of what the word of God is trying to reveal. Reading the old testament is very difficult to understand. And honestly some parts of Exodus and Leviticus are boring to read. But I found the significance of this verse earlier this morning as I prayed my usual prayer of devotion before reading the scripture. And this is the word, God told me.


In human understanding, this could be senseless. It is only a detailed instruction of God on how He would like the burnt offering to happen. Two days ago, I was really  struggling on my commitment of devotion every 4am. It's because I often sleep around 3am or worst I don't sleep at all.  I got too addicted in net surfing. Too addicted that I really can't stop myself even if what I was doing were nonsense. This is why I felt inner dryness and thirst. When I examined this, I told myself, this should not be happening. I need to do something. 


God revealed to me through this passage His command to keep the fire burning. It reminded me instanly of the inner dryness I have been feeling lately. The spark was about to disappear. He said that the priest must add firewood and arrange the burnt offering. Simply do not let the fire go out. Do something to keep it burning that means the firewood would be the Bible and your praises. 


God showed me his mercy today. After reading His word, I was compromised to sing secular songs to please a friend. Yes, I was compromised. Then Angel, a friend and churchmate, told me that her mom mentioned about me singing out of the country. That was quite an opportunity.  . But on our prayer meeting today, He showed me that He is God. While the Holy Presence of God was working. When I felt it, I can't stop singing at the top ofmy lungs. I was singing freely and I didn't care. And then I cried hard, so hard. Then I felt God's favor, by the time I prayed and asked to letme stop crying and make me laugh instead, I started laughing. I laughed so hard it hurt my cheeks. That was truly an amazing experience. God showered me His mercy and Grace even if I don't deserve it.  Then I thought, God had revealed the anwer to my doubts. He doesn't want me to sing secular music anymore. That gave an instant answer to my question: Would I go sing for my living? And that is a big NO. He wants me to sing only for Him. And I felt special. From now on, I will sing for Him and Him alone. No secular music. I know God has greater plans for me if I will follow his will. So I need not to worry about tomorrow. I should not COMPROMISE.


So this would be my prayer today...


Father God,


You are the King of Kings. My Redeemer, my Healer.


Please forgive me Father God for compromising today. For forgetting the thought of doing everything for Your Glory. I'm sorry for what I have done. Thank you Father God for showing me your Mercy. For letting me feel your presence even if I don't deserve it. Thank you for revealing to me what you wanted me to do in my life. Thank you Father God, for your Glory and understanding. I will live forever doing everything for Your Glory. Please don't let the fire go out. Make me forever thirsty with your presence. I love you God. I will walk with You. 
Hear Your daughter.
