SATURDAY IN CHIANGMAI
God has shown me another aspect of Chiang Mai. We visited a home for young tribal girls, namely the Lahu. Their ages range from 3 - 15, I think. These girls are 'rescued' from their home villages before they can be sold into prostitution by their parents. So they receive food, lodging and an education.
We were meant to go there to minister to the children but I felt that through their dances & singing of the the girls that they ministered more to me. I was in tears when they were singing worship songs and doing the actions. First in Thai and then in English. It was really touching when you consider why they did it and the amount of practice they put into it. All for the glory of the same God we serve.
After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands.
And they cried out in a loud voice:
"Salvation belongs to our God,
who sits on the throne,
and to the Lamb."
| Revelation 7:9-10 |
I long to be a worshipper along with people from all over the world. As I've mentioned before. Worship is our ultimate purpose. Missions are carried out to make sure God gets the utmost glory as mentioned in Revelations 7.
There is something I read in the bible which caught my attention. Isaiah 58:11 talks about being in a sun scorched land & having a thirst which the Lord would quench. Whereas in Revelation 7:16 it says that in that time we will never again thirst or hunger or feel the scorching heat from the sun. Thats what we're working towards, but for now we rely on Him.
