Count your blessings

Was just looking out of the office window and saw a half asleep city scape. Didn't notice much of activity along the main road.

Thanked God our nation is blessed. His hand is all over this nation. Also, thanked God for a good government that we are able to go about doing our business with peace.

More importantly, thank God I am alive and living another day to praise God and to worship Him. Thank God I'm healthy and able to enjoy food. Thank God I'm able to sleep soundly at night, not having nightmare. Thank God I'm able to pass motion with ease.

Thank God I'm able to display my talents and giftings at work. Thank God for wonderful colleagues. This is the day that the Lord has made and I choose to rejoice in it.

How often do we whine about the situation and forget we already have the answer to that situation. How often do we focus on the mountainous task ahead and forget the most important Person within us who is able to strengthen us and see us through.

Let us count our blessings, regardless how small they may be.

Guard your heart!

Guard your heart above all guardings for out of it springs the issues of life. Jesus tells us in His word not to take thought for tomorrow or be worrisome or anxious over issues, for His grace is sufficient for the day.

The word also tells us not to fear the treats of the devil, for Jesus had taken the power of the world from him and had given this power to us to reign in this world. The more we are able to guard our hearts against the evil thoughts, the more we will see God's manifestation outwardly in our lives.

The areas that we can let go and let God are the areas that God's grace can flow through easily. The areas which we worry or be in a state of fear, are the areas which we restrict the flow of God's grace, even though God is blessing us all the time.

Great World City

Just had lunch at Crystal Jade restaurant at Great World City.

The steadfast love of God

Was in the office quite early this morning and noticed a bright sunny day. But the weather has now changed to one which is cloudy and going to rain. That's how volatile weather can be.

Thank God He is the same yesterday, today and forever. He is a God who keeps covenant. His promises are yes and amen in Christ Jesus. For He so loved us that He sent His only Son to the cross to die for us that we might be reconciled with He through the finished work at the cross.

As the result of that finished work some 2000 years, many of us are now saved and many more are going to be saved. We are called Christians. We can call on Him in times of need and we can praise Him in times of happiness.

God's wish for us is to prosper and be in health as our souls prosper. His word is truth. We can hold on to His word for it is life to us. Trust God to see us through. For He knows intimately what we are going through.

Perfect peace

In the midst of a perfect storm, there can be perfect peace.

This was best demonstrated when Jesus was crossing the sea of Galilee with His disciples. Some of His disciples were seasoned fishermen. To fear the storm the way they did must have been quite a storm. Yet, Jesus was not disturbed at all at what the devil was throwing at Him. He only woke up at the cry of His disciples. Immediately, He would calm the sea down.

This is the love of our Lord Jesus. He will come to our rescue the moment we look to Him for help. He is always with us as His word says He will never leave nor forsake us. He is aware of the difficult situations some of us are going through. He already has a plan to deliver us from those difficult situations.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, in prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your request be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all knowledge and understanding, will guard your heart and mind through Christ Jesus.

Jesus had left His peace with us while He was ascending into Heaven to be seated at the right hand of our Abba Father. This peace is not of the world but a knowing that our Lord is loving towards us and His love was demonstrated at the cross.

It is all about Christ

How often did we want the best in life but just fell short of it? How often did we end up in a job and found the work environment stressful? How often did we want to give the best to our loved ones but didn't fulfill those promises? How often did we want to do good but end up doing things that we didn't want to?

As long the focus is on ourselves, there will be constant struggles to give your best to people who matter and issues that are important. There is therefore, now, no condemnation for those who are in Christ! For it is Christ in us that will give us the desire and strength to see us through the situation. For it is Christ in us that will love our loved ones.

To strive on one's self effort is to dig one's pit and fall into it subsequently. For without Christ, we can do nothing. We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. Look to Jesus to see us through all things. For His grace is sufficient for us. Those who put their trust in Christ will not be put to shame. Hallelujah!

Food Republic

Check out the Food Republic at Vivo City.

Taking things easy

Some of us go through life at such a fast pace that we don't have time to enjoy our lives. Sometimes we take things too seriously. We need to just take a step back and take it easy. It is amazing how easy it is for us to have a completely different view of the issue or situation when we take it easy.

A big crowd

Check out the crowd at the Keypoint Foodcourt. Just as crowded as usual during lunch time.

Rest

I was just thinking how difficult it is for us to move slowly in a fast pace environment. No wonder there is more people getting into heart problems. If only we will take our time and smell the coffee, we will realize we can accomplish more by resting inwardly.

Marvel of technology

Thank God for 3G video call. Though I'm not physically at the National Parade venue, I'm able to view part of the exhibition through my phone via video call from my wife's phone.

Enjoying a cup of ice blended coffee

Am enjoying a cup of ice blended coffee at Coffee Bean opposite Carrefour. This place is always buzzing with people. With some loud music playing in the background and some people talking quite loudly, I feel very tranquil and undisturbed within. In fact, I am able to listen to sermon playing through my phone. Anyway, this is what I took just a while ago.

Good ending

All things work together for good for those in Christ. Also, good things happen to those who believe God is good to them. Regardless of what's happening in and around us, it will turn out for our good. For our Lord Jesus is good towards us. He only has good thoughts for us. Hallelujah.

Don't worry

Had a fresh revelation on not been worrisome about issues. God's grace flows in worry free areas of my life. He had given His only begotten Son to die for me at the cross to give me sozo life. I shall lack no good thing for He had freely, with Christ, given me all things to enjoy. The moment I let go of the issue and cast it at Jesus' feet, I will see the provision that is already there.

Going to JB

Going to Johor Bahru with my wife and her cousin and mother in grace.

A good dinner

Had Chay Kay Teow with my lovely wife at Jago Lane. It had been a while since we last ate at that coffee shop. Yet to try the Indian stall though. Maybe will patronize the Indian stall the next time we are there. The tosai looks good.

Hallelujah!

God is good. He will see us through all things. He will lead us through trials back to victory. In the midst of a trial, He has a way of escape for us. Peter was able to walk on water in the midst of a storm when he eyes were fixed on Jesus. The moment he took his eyes off Jesus, he sank. Behold, Jesus immediately stretched His arm to hold Peter and together they walked back to the boat. Jesus is our Shepherd! Those who put their trust in Him will never to be put to shame.

Cool weather

We have a cool weather after the rain. Everything seems to be cool as well.
