christmas around the corner...

i really should be slapping myself... i was supposed to dedicate this blog to HIM and yet, i hardly update it...

anyway, christmas is around the corner... christmas has always been my favorite time of the year, when i was young, it's all about the presents... now it's about the PRESENT...

many years ago, the Lord came as a child into this world on this special day... why? for fun, perhaps? no, of course not... just a quick question, have you ever watch dog injured, and when you wanted to help it, it just barked at you because it was worried that you will harm it? don't you wish that you can speak the dog's language so that it'll understand and stop barking, so that you can help it?

well, in the similar way, we all sinned, and God was trying to help us, but we just barked at Him, and refused to let Him help us, so He sent His son, in our form and speak our language so that we will understand Him and let Him help us...

isn't He great? helping us even when we are sinners, loving us even when we don't deserve it...

Proverbs 3: 5-6

5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

For the past few weeks, I was so down, and at times question where is God... Last thursday, at Cell Group, the Lord gave me this verse and then I know that he has never forsaken me... although He seemed far away, but the fact is He is always near... I was so blinded with my own problems that I forgot to trust Him completely... but the Lord is good, and He showed me the way... although my problems are far from solved, I felt better, knowing very well that it is in God's hand...

coffee

coffee is the name of my dog... everyday, when i go home, he will be wagging his tail, waiting for a pat from me... that's all he desires... when i pat him on his head... he will be very happy... i know he is happy because i know him, he has been mine for over 5 years... and when i am too tired, i'll ignore him... what kind of a master am i? but he never gives up... he'll call me... sometimes, when i am really tired, i'll tell him, tomorrow ok? and he understands...

we are lucky our Father in heaven is not like me, on the contrary, He longs to touch us and love us... more often than not, we are the ones who has no time to be touched and no time to be loved... we choose not to be loved... and then, when trouble befalls us, we blame that God is unfair... now look at this closely, who is unfair? us? or the Father?

perhaps we all should learn from coffee... waiting passionately everyday for our master, to touch us... and when God says no to our prayers, we should understand that He knows better... like coffee, he understands when i said tomorrow... we should not blame God for anything... how dare us? who are we to blame the Almighty?

Names of God

during lunch time yesterday, myself and cube was discussing over some stuff... and cube asked me whether i know all of God's name... obviously, i don't... so i looked up the internet and found some... i am not sure whether the list is complete or not... anyway, i will put down a few here today, and maybe next time i will put more...

El Shaddai: "God Almighty."
El Elyon: "The Most High God."
El Olam: "The Everlasting God."
Yahweh Jireh (Yireh): "The Lord will provide."
Yahweh Nissi: "The Lord is my Banner."
Yahweh Shalom: "The Lord is Peace."
Yahweh Sabbaoth: "The Lord of Hosts."
Yahweh Maccaddeshcem: "The Lord your Sanctifier."
Yahweh Ro'i: "The Lord my Shepherd."
Yahweh Tsidkenu: "The Lord our Righteousness."
Yahweh Shammah: "The Lord is there."
Jehovah Rophe: "The Lord Heals."

i've noted that "Jehovah" and "Yahweh" been used interchangeably , so my guess is Yahweh Jireh = Jehovah Jireh... like in the song i used to sing in church...

Jehovah Jireh, my provider,
His grace is sufficient for me, for me, for me,
Jehovah Jireh, my provider,
His grace is sufficient for me.

The Lord shall supply all my needs,
According to His riches and glory,
He will give His angels' charge over me,
Jehovah Jireh cares for me.

follow me

today, i have decided to dedicate my "skills" to god... i have been having discussions with 'cube' for about three weeks now, and today we went through the lesson "follow me"...

i am going to dedicate this whole blog to God Almighty... and see how it goes... for the time being, i still do not know what to blog about... because, i am afraid that i might write the wrong stuff...

anyway, this is just a start and i will publish in this blog, articles or passages from the bible that inspires me from time to time...

i hope with this, we can all share and grow, and become more and more Christ like and like the he said in Matthew 4:19 Follow me and I will make you fishers of men...

and if you find any flaws in this blog, please feel free to drop a comment so that i can learn and be more wise...
