Miracles And Yet Doubts...

These few days I have been reading the Old Testament, that is before the coming of Jesus Christ. When I read through Exodus, especially the time of Moses and the Red Sea, my imagination started to run. The more I read, it became more and more real how God is in our lives. His commandments, His words are existing till today, alive in us. So many miracles He has shown and yet people still doubted, during the Moses days.... and today, it was the same... God is waiting for us to accept Him, He is just right here waiting for us to choose, ever ready to come into our lives but yes, we still have doubts and we tend to focus elsewhere. Forgive me Lord...

Change Of Church Service

My church is doing a survey on the time services.... at this moment, my church has two services, one on Saturday 8pm to 10pm and Sunday 8am to 10am. Most of the weekends, I go on Saturday evenings and Sundays when I have worship duties. I heard they are going to change the Saturday service time to 5pm, well..... I would love that. I would certainly prefer it to be 5pm, then after service, it will be just nice for dinner with the family.. hope the church survey will have the majority votes....

My Journal Steps

When it comes to journalling, this is what I normally do...
I read verses from a booklet supplied by the church (devotional booklet)
Then I write down the verse that touches me...
And after a short prayer, I spend time on the journal book, relating and what the verse means to me... just let out my thoughts... how I feel at that moment of time, I write everything out... be it broken english or rantings, it is good to "speak" and let go ...

SOAR with God

In my earlier posts, I mentioned SOAR used by Daniel Teh in DUMC Petaling Jaya. During the conference, he reminded again of that word.. that we soar like eagles, never to grow weary or faint...
S stands for scripture - bible verses
O stands for observation - visualize the scene
A stands for application - our thoughts and musings, our emotions or questions
R stands for response meaning prayer

With these words, let me start by reading God's word, His word to them, His words to me and my word to God....

Soar Like Eagle

The quote for today comes from Isiah 40:31

"...but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength,
They will Soar on wings like eagles
they will run and not grow weary
they will walk and not be faint"

The word SOAR comes from DUMC... Pastor Daniel always remind the members to soar like eagles, high above all, never grow tired or weary... all because we have Our Lord in our lives and let us remember that...all we have to do is to be humble and bask in the presence of our Lord...
