JUST A LITTLE SHARING

Matthew 6: 25 - 34

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. - Matthew 6 : 33

This verse has been told/prayed over me for FOUR times within a week. God is reminding me a very important truth which i often forget. =T

Thank God, HE is always faithful and patient to me.

I went for the 1st service yesterday with Zhen. (i forgot to set my alarm clock... and was really amazed that HE woke me up at 0645am!!!! Thank God!!!!) But nothing can compare to how amazing when God speaks to you... Zhen is saved!!!! Hallelujah!!!! HE is really very good to me even when i have such little faith. HE is telling me that things in the world cannot bring me TRUE JOY... BUT focus on HIS EVERLASTING promises and gifts such as SALVATION of my loved ones.

Hmmm... yet i still struggle... just snapped at the new producer in my office. sigh~~~ i didn't want things to turn out like this... but i just too stressed up to repeat myself patiently for so many times and he simply don't get it.

Dear Lord, please help me.

Dear sisters, have a blessed week.

FOR WHEN I AM WEAK, THEN I AM STRONG

2 Corinthians 12 : 9-10

As sat in front of the comp in my office this morning to prepare today's devotion, i feel extremely lonely. Something happened... It made me feel that i couldn't do it anymore... i have no energy... i am not worthy... i lost all hope... : (

i keep asking:" Father, why am i always alone?... ...." and the so-many-why(s) keep racing in my mind. i feel like i'm reacting like a wilful kid... But... sigh~~~

Yet God is good... really very good to me... when i flipped open my bible this morning... these 2 verses hit right in my face. *Ouch* heehee~~~

But he said to me," My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weakness, so that Christ's power may rest on me. - 2 Corinthians 12 : 9

i know HE wants me to hang in there.

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. - Hebrews 11: 1

Dear sisters, i pray that HE will renew your faith that you may find strength in HIM to continue the race. Hang in there with a living hope the HIS grace will sustain us. Who knows, we may find victory with another blow. *Pooffffffff* We are weak, BUT HE IS STRONG!!!! Boast our weakness gladly so that HIS power will magnify in our lives!!!! Amen!!!!

HE WILL FIGHT FOR YOU

allo... tell you all something funny first... heehee~

Daniel 6

When God draws me to today's passage, i kept thinking:" God, what do you want me to write for your people today?" As i read through the chapter over and over again, i feel that HE wants to speak to me first.

Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened towards Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before. - Daniel 6: 10

i think that Daniel knew that the situation is not favouring him, yet he was not affected by external factors, and continued to pray to the Lord. how many times have i been overwhelmed by unfavouring circumstances, and started to dwell in my own sorrows, except to KEEP LOOKING UNTO THE LORD IN PRAYERS? : ( But it's really very difficult, i struggle.

Then when i read further that Daniel was thrown into the lions' den... i feel that i'm being thrown into one too!!!! As some of you would have known that my job is really overpowering me... i feel that my bosses are like the lions whom are crushing and devouring me. i feel very helpless, unjustified, angry, and what not... at the end of the day, i left with no more energy to fight... : (

However, Daniel's approach to these lions was different.

... My God sent his angel, and he shut the mouths of the lions. - Daniel 6: 21

... no wound was found on him, because he had trusted in his God. - Daniel 6: 23

Daniel TRUSTED in the Lord. He BELIEVED that God will deliver and protect him from all harm. He did not have to fight with the lions by himself.

It makes me think that:" yah... how can i fight with lions by my own strength? i really need to turn to God."

Dear sisters, are you fighting the lions in your life by your own strength? Don't!!!! It's a waste of energy!!!! Turn to God and HE will protect you. HE WILL FIGHT FOR YOU!!!! i know it's really not easy, because as i wrote this myself, i struggle very hard deep wthin me. i think my life is not a good testimony to write this for you all... : ( But i know God will continue to work in my life, and for yours too!!!! Let's jia you for God together!!!! : )

(ok.. i can't type more as i'm doing this in office... haahaa~ byeeeeeeeeee)

I WILL NOT FORGET YOU

Deuteronomy 31: 8

I stared at my monitor for very long, not knowing what I should type. Oh gosh, I have not prepared word for a long… long… time, and now I have to prepare devotions for ONE WEEK!!!! Then I realized I have taken such a long~~~ break, and I literally forgot how to go about doing this! HOW??? *Gasp*

Yes! You’re right! The model answer is to PRAY!!!! And so I did. In fact, I started asking HIM what I should write ever since when I received the task (haha~ which was one week ago…)

Day 1:
No answer from the Lord.

Day 2:
Still, no answer from the Lord.

As the days went by, I heard nothing from HIM at all. Hmmm… and what made it worse was that everything that could go wrong for the week went wrong… sigh~~~

God, I think YOU have forgotten about me.

Ok… it sounded really silly… but I was so sure at the point of time… I almost wanted to give Del the “heart attack” by saying I cannot do it!!!!

Then tada!!!!

During yesterday’s service, I saw Donavan and Jeline up on stage again, sharing their testimonies on the flashcard.

The Lord said: “Girl, didn’t you ask me to change this boy into a Man of God? Look what’s written on his card now?” and HE continued: “You prayed that this girl will be brought back to the Kingdom of God. See, these are some prayers that you have made many years ago and perhaps you have even forgotten about it. BUT I REMEMBER.”

So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you…- Luke 11: 9

Yeah!!!! HE has not forgotten about me!!!! Although sometimes the way HE speaks to me is rather strange, HE remembers me and all my prayers, be it big or small. HE made my phone died on me so that I could focus on doing my QT and read my bible during my bus journey home just now ( because I told HIM I was soooooooooo busy that I don’t have time for QT). Haahaa~ see what I mean… ; )

Now that I have the assurance HE has not forgotten about me, I want to have the faith to believe that HE will answer ALL my prayers, in HIS time.

Dear sisters, just want to encourage all of you that our dear Heavenly Father has not forgotten about you too. All of you are dearly remembered by HIM. And if earthly things were to weigh you down once again, hang on to the promise that “… he will never leave you nor forsake you…” – Deuteronomy 31: 8
