Psalms 119: 97 to 112
97 Oh, how I love your law! I meditate on it all day long.
98 Your commands make me wiser than my enemies, for they are ever with me.
99 I have more insight than all my teachers, for I meditate on your statutes.
100 I have more understanding than the elders, for I obey your precepts.
101 I have kept my feet from every evil path so that I might obey your word.
102 I have not departed from your laws, for you yourself have taught me.
103 How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
104 I gain understanding from your precepts; therefore I hate every wrong path.
n Nun 105 Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.
106 I have taken an oath and confirmed it, that I will follow your righteous laws.
107 I have suffered much; preserve my life, O LORD, according to your word.
108 Accept, O LORD, the willing praise of my mouth, and teach me your laws.
109 Though I constantly take my life in my hands, I will not forget your law.
110 The wicked have set a snare for me, but I have not strayed from your precepts.
111 Your statutes are my heritage forever; they are the joy of my heart.
112 My heart is set on keeping your decrees to the very end

This Sunday Morning service was good.How I love the joy of worshiping God together with other fellow believers worshiping him =)

Over the past few weeks in CG, we have been going through a bible Study about discipleship and currently we are in the topic of loving the Word of God. Its importance, what does it to us, how do we read it, the basics. Its good that we are reminded over and over again about this basics as sometimes we tend to forget the truth of the Word and treat it so routinely, making it no diffferent from the pharisees described by Jesus in the bible.

One thing which brother William Lim shared about during sermon, is a good illustration of a time table chart of how much time we have allocated our time to read the Bible. It was a hillarious slide short but so how true we have to admit this. Often easily it ccan be observed half of us in the congregation might spend more time with facebook than with reading the Word in a day.

As it says in the following verses
102 I have not departed from your laws, for you yourself have taught me.
103 How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!

How beautiful this scripture this is, even as I meditate the whole chapter as a whole, verse 102 brings that "wow" factor in me. "I have not departed from your laws, for you yourself have taught me."

Thank You Jesus for it is really not on my own that I'm discipline in your Word but it is you who taught me through my friends, through the holy spirit, leaders, teachers and your Word itself. Truely, your Word is like honey to me.

I wish I could write more about this beautiful truth in psalms 119 : 97 to 112 but I shall want to meditate on it more and allow it to grow deep within my Heart. Lord I surrender my all to you.

Thank You for this beautiful Sunday which I so look forward to everyweek.

Psalm 34


Of David. When he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he left.

1 [a] I will extol the LORD at all times; his praise will always be on my lips.
2 My soul will boast in the LORD; let the afflicted hear and rejoice.
3 Glorify the LORD with me; let us exalt his name together.
4 I sought the LORD, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.
5 Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.
6 This poor man called, and the LORD heard him; he saved him out of all his troubles.
7 The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them.
8 Taste and see that the LORD is good;blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.
9 Fear the LORD, you his saints, for those who fear him lack nothing.
10 The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.
11 Come, my children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
12 Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days,
13 keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking lies.
14 Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.
15 The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their cry;
16 the face of the LORD is against those who do evil, to cut off the memory of them from the

earth.
17 The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them;he delivers them from all their troubles.
18 The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
19 A righteous man may have many troubles, but the LORD delivers him from them all;
20 he protects all his bones, not one of them will be broken.
21 Evil will slay the wicked; the foes of the righteous will be condemned.
22 The LORD redeems his servants; no one will be condemned who takes refuge in him.
Today is a Saturday, even as I sit here and look at the responsiblities which I have in the work place I have a little fear in me. I fear that I might not keep up with this responsibility given to me.

My collegue have just resigned yesterday, though he gave two months notice before yesterday, I still find it hard that he has chose to resigned. 80% of his responsibility has been added on me and I find it hard to cope with it all. The Courts are speedying their cases , which restricts me from having more time in producing a better getting up.

Though with such "little" fear in me.It makes me all the more I want to seek His face.

" 4 I sought the LORD, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.
5 Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame. "


As an old song says:

In his presence, In his presence, there is peace

In his presence, In his presence, there is joy

I will linger I will stay in His presence day by day

Till' His likeness will be seen in me.


Thank You for this 'little' fear I'm facing now Lord for it makes me seeks your face more and more. I shall Turst and keep the fear of the Lord.

A tough adjustment in work is going to take place, I pray that I will be able to cope with this tough adjustment. Two lawyers have resigned in the spam of two years with no new lawyers being part of the team and with so much work coming in too. Sometimes I wonder why are these things happening.

The Lord has delivered and overcome every obstacle I have faced. Surely He will do it again =)

I shall trust in you Lord and fear only you.

Amen.

Pastor's Son - A Great Story

My mum emailed me this Story yesterday.Thought of sharing this to everybody who reads this blog.



Pastor's son - A Great Story

Every Sunday afternoon, after the morning service at the church, the Pastor and his eleven year old son would go out into their town> and hand out Gospel Tracts.



This particular Sunday afternoon,> as it came time for the Pastor and his son to go to the streets with their tracts, it was very cold> outside, as well as pouring rain. The boy bundled up in his warmest and driest clothes and said, 'OK, dad, I'm ready.'

His Pastor dad asked, 'Ready for what?'

'Dad, it's time we gather our> tracts together and go out.'



Dad responds, 'Son, it's very cold> outside and it's pouring rain.'

The boy gives his dad a surprised> look, asking, 'But Dad, aren't people still going to Hell, even though it's raining?'



Dad answers, 'Son, I am not going out in this weather.'

Despondently, the boy asks, 'Dad,> can I go? Please?'

His father hesitated for a moment then said, 'Son, you can go.

Here are the tracts, be careful son..'

'Thanks Dad!'



And with that, he was off and out into the rain. This eleven year old boy walked the streets of the town going door to door and handing everybody he met in the street a Gospel Tract .



After two hours of walking in the rain, he was soaking, bone-chilled wet and down to his VERY LAST TRACT. He stopped on a corner and looked for someone to hand a tract to, but the streets were totally deserted.

Then he turned toward the first home he saw and started up the sidewalk to the front door and rang the door bell. He rang the bell,but nobody answered. He rang it again and again, but still no one answered. He waited but still no answer.



Finally, this eleven year old trooper turned to leave, but something stopped him.Again, he turned to the door and rang the bell and knocked loudly on the door with his fist. He waited, something holding him there on the front porch!



He rang again and this time the door slowly opened.

Standing in the doorway was a very sad-looking elderly lady. She softly asked, 'What can I do for you, son?' With radiant eyes and a smile that lit up her world, this little boy said, 'Ma'am, I'm sorry if I disturbed you, but I just want to tell you that * JESUS REALLY DOES LOVE YOU * and I came to give you my very last Gospel Tract which will tell you all about JESUS and His great LOVE.'

With that, he handed her his last tract and turned to leave.

She called to him as he departed. 'Thank you, son! And God Bless You!'



Well, the following Sunday morning in church Pastor Dad was in the pulpit. As the service began, he asked, 'Does anybody have testimony or want to say anything?' Slowly, in the back row of the church, an elderly lady stood to her feet.



As she began to speak, a look of glorious radiance came from her face, 'No one in this church knows me. I've never been here> before.You see, before last Sunday I was not a Christian. My husband passed on some time ago, leaving me totally alone in this world.



Last Sunday, being a particularly cold and rainy day, it was even more so in my heart that I came to the end of the line where I no longer had any hope or will to live. So I took a rope and a chair and ascended the stairway into the attic of my home. I fastened the rope securely to a rafter in the roof, then stood on the chair and fastened the other end of the rope around my neck.



Standing on that chair, so lonely and broken-hearted I was about to leap off, when suddenly the loud ringing of my doorbell downstairs startled me. I thought, 'I'll wait a minute, and whoever it is will go away.'



I waited and waited, but the ringing doorbell seemed to get louder and more insistent, and then the person ringing also started knocking loudly... I thought to myself again, 'Who on earth could this be? Nobody ever rings my bell or comes to see me.' I loosened the rope from my neck and started for the front door, all the while the bell rang louder and louder.



When I opened the door and looked I could hardly believe my eyes, for there on my front porch was the most radiant and angelic little boy I had ever seen in my life. His SMILE, oh, I could never describe it to you!



The words that came from his mouth caused my heart that had long been dead, TO LEAP TO LIFE as he exclaimed with a cherub-like voice, 'Ma'am, I just came to tell you that JESUS REALLY DOES LOVE YOU .



Then he gave me this Gospel Tract that I now hold in my hand..As the little angel disappeared back out into the cold and rain, I closed my door and read slowly every word of this Gospel Tract. Then I went up to my attic to get my rope and chair. I wouldn't be needing them any more.



You see-- -I am now a Happy Child of the KING. Since the address of your church was on the back of this Gospel Tract, I have come here to personally say THANK YOU to God's little angel who came just in the nick of time and by so doing, spared my soul from an eternity in hell..'



There was not a dry eye in the church. And as shouts of praise and honour to THE KING resounded off the very rafters of the building,Pastor Dad descended from the pulpit to the front pew where the little angel was seated.... He took his son in his arms and sobbed uncontrollably.



Probably no church has had a more glorious moment, and probably this universe has never seen a Papa that was more filled with love> & honour for his son.... Except for One.
