Psalm119:10

I seek you with all my heart;

do not let me stray from your commands.

Christmas Day is coming very soon. However, not all new lives begin on Christmas Day itself. You can create your own Christmas Day ...... in your heart.... every day is a new begining of a new life in Jesus!

Psalm 31:9 - 10

Be merciful to me, O Lord, for I am in distress;
my eyes grow weak with sorrow,
my soul and my body with grief.

My life is consumed by anguish and my years by groaning;
my strength fails because of my affliction,
and my bones grow weak.

Let's see, isn't this how we pray when we are in distress?
Someone one asked me, "How do you know that God listens to our prayer?"
I did not know the answer then.
However, I know the answer now.
Jesus, who dies on the cross for us, is the channel where we can bring our sorrow to God.
No matter who we are, rich or poor, young or old............. Jesus never fails anyone.
Be sincere in telling God your fears .....

Luke 6:47 - 49

I will show you what he is like who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice.
He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock.
When flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.

But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collasped and its destruction was complete.


Maybe there are times, when we do or say things at a spur of a moment, without thinking. These maybe the times we regretted later as we saw the world which we built without a good base came crumbling down.

If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.

The saying goes well with the verses. Everything we do, we must have a good plan as well as God's permission to do it.

Psalm 119:33 - 40

Teach me, O Lord, to follow your decrees;
then I will keep them to the end.

Give me understanding, and I will keep your law
and obey it with all my heart.

Direct me in the path of your commands,
for there I find delight.

Turn my heart toward your statutes
and not selfish gain.

Turn my eyes away from worthless things;
preserve my life according to your word.

Fulfill your promise to your servant,
so that you may be feared.

Take away the disgrace I dread,
for your laws are good.

How I long for your percepts!
Preserve my life in your righteousness.

The law of our Lord is there to keep us from falling. It is like the fire-proof wall that keeps us safe from fire. Yet, most of us choose to stay away from the wall. We always find ourselves being restricted and confined withing the wall. That's the reason we want to get out. So, what is the use to having our Lord's law and not obeying Him?

Psalm 25:16-18

Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted.

The troubles of my heart have multiplied, free me from my anguish.

Look upon my affliction and my distress and take away all my sins.

When there is no one you can turn to, there is always God who promised us He would be with us. He has given us His only son, who had then sent the Holy Spirit to be with us. Through Jesus, we can communicate with God, and we do not even need a telephone line. A sincere prayer ends all the pain!

Ecclesiasies 3:1-8

A Time For Everything

There is time for everything,

and a season for every activity under heaven,

a time to be born and a time to die,

a time to plant and a time to uproot,

a time to kill and a time to heal,

a time to tear down and a time to build,

a time to weep and a time to laugh,

a time to mourn and a time to dance,

a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,

a time to embrace and a time to refrain,

a time to search and a time to give up,

a time to keep and a time to throw away,

a time to tear and a time to mend,

a time to be silent and a time to speak,

a time to love and a time to hate,

a time for war and a time for peace.

As there is a time for everything, why does man want to hurry and make these events happen faster?

Ecclesiates 5:3

The more you worry, the more likely you are to have bad dreams,
and the more you talk, the more likely you are to say something foolish.

How often we worry unneccessarily. Bringing the worry to bed and have many miserable nightmares! There is no ending to the griefs we have to wade through. No light at the end of the tunnel.
How often we talk foolishly without thinking. Bringing destruction to ourselves.

Help us, Lord.................. to be wise with our words, just as you are wise with YOURS.

Isaiah 41:10

Do not be afraid - I am with you!
I am your GOD - let nothing terrify you!
I will make you strong and help you;
I will protect you and save you.

This is a verse that I always remember when I'm facing something new. Be it a new job, environment or just simple new tasks, God is always there with me. His promises never fails. Amen.
