God is The Strength of my Heart

The things we go through in life can exhaust us mentally, physically, spiritually if we do not guard our hearts and our thoughts. From exhaustion leads to sicknesses, mental breakdowns, depressions, spiritual thirst and when we do not connect to our power Source, we get lost in the world of self pitiness not knowing we put ourselves in that position in the first place.

Why do we humans look for the lesser things that fulfills just for a moment when there are lasting fulfillments that we can find in the things that are eternal. Complicated beings we are but God is gracious to us truly in helping us find the right way.

Let's allow God to strengthen our hearts that we may stand against the world values and stand strong in the Word of God. He is our portion forever and He will not let us go through beyond what we cannot withstand. The anchor of our soul, He is!

Psalms 28:7 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song.

Remembering Jesus at The Cross

 I'm glad my piano student introduced this song to me. Yahweh by New Life Worship, Ross Parsley. Besides the wonderful arrangement of the songs, I love the lyrics. Yahweh was actually spelt YHWH without the vowels and Yahweh speaks of who He is. There is so many meaning quoted by different authors but to me He is just forever. He is the Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last.

Resurrection Sunday is coming and today is Good Friday, let's remember what Jesus had done for us on the cross. His faithfulness is everlasting and no matter how far we are, He still there for us. Let us not forget to fellowship with God who loves us first and created us ,knew us even when we are at our mother's womb. He is sovereign! Be blessed by the song and worship Him with all of your heart.

Ps. Sandra Chin at Women Conference

It was 12 years ago when I was a teenager (without a doubt still youthful) that I've heard from Ps. Kenneth Chin. He was challenging in his preaching and have made an impact in my life then. And recently I had the priviledge of learning from Ps. Sandra Chin , the lovely wife of Ps.Kenneth Chin. She has been impacting women's lives for over 10 years through women conference and as I listened from her testimonies and sharing, I'm one of them. She's so funny, I could hardly keep my mouth shut from giggles or laughter. Sort of reminded me of Jim Carrey, no offence Ps Sandra, i meant it in a good way.

Some of the keys that I've picked out from Ps.Sandra is:
* Don't speak to the enemy
* Know your position in Christ
* Don't blame others
* Live dynamically and magnanimously

Women used to be second class, feeding into their insecurities and low self esteem. Nowadays it is not the case though some may still live in the past and remained second class in their mindset. God made us women beautiful in every way, an architecture that can never be copied and resold. Ask God today to show you how beautiful you are.

1 Peter 3:3-4
“Don’t be concerned about the outward beauty that depends on fancy hairstyles, expensive jewelry, or beautiful clothes. You should be known for the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God.” (NLT)


Proverbs 14:1
“The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down.” (NIV)


1 Corinthians 11:11-12
“In the Lord, however, woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman. For as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God.”

Galatians 3:8
“There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.”

1 Timothy 3:11
“In the same way, their wives are to be women worthy of respect, not malicious talkers but temperate and trustworthy in everything.”

Proverbs 31:30
“Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last; but a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised.” (NLT)

Hope you will be encouraged with the verses and remember God loves you from inside out.

Gideon Finally Believed

The morning air was fresh complemented by the bird's chirping and a little breeze coming through my window calms my soul. I talked with God and also asked Him if there are any stories or particular verses He would like to speak to me today. And soon with my Touchpoint bible NLT, i went to the topic of Decision Making. Truly as bible believing Christians , we know we should seek wisdom from the Lord for major decisions we need to make.
The verses that I read that stood out was..

Psalm 25:4 Show me the path where I should walk, O Lord; point out the right road for me to follow
- Right decisions are found to be inline with the truth found in God's word,  a humble prayer.

Proverbs 18:13 Intelligent people are always open to new ideas. In fact, they look for them.
- Not many people like to do this but I felt it helps alot along with seeking God.

Then finally it brought me to the story of Gideon and how God used a timid, fearful man to conquer the Midianites. The highlights of the story for me is this, I like to make it point form for easier reading.

1. Gideon was hiding away scared when God called Him.
2. He had the priviledge of seeing an angel of God face to face. *I prayed I would see too :)
3. God told him he would have victory over Midianites but Gideon asked for God confirmation 3 times. Even after having an encounter with the angel of God. God was nice enough to confirm for him instead of knocking his head and say" How many times do I have to tell you, then forget it, I'll get somebody else."
4. It was nice to read how God make the fleece wet but the ground dry and vice versa. Gideon finally believed that God will give victory to Gideon over the Midianites after 3 confirmations.
5. To show the Israelites that God is truly with them, He asked Gideon to cut the army down to just 300men to win over 10000 Midianites or more. Wow!
6. And finally they won, Gideon also received prosperity through the ornaments he took from the enemies. Sad to say after Gideon had passed away, the Israelites went back to worship Baal.

Read it on your own, allow God to teach and encourage you through Gideon at Judges 6 - 8. God Bless!

God in Everything

A life without involving God is a life of recklessness, a series of ups and downs, a repetition of mistakes and similarly to sitting in a car without a driver.

How do we stay connected with Him?

We need to spend time with Him (studying the Word, talking to him, praying for others, worship Him) and the real application comes in the life we live.  

And God should be in Everything that we do.

Just like a husband and wife needs their intimate moments together so do we with the Father. A time where no one or nothing can intrude. Receiving first hand from God is the best and the experience will keep you wanting more. Whatever teaching resources that helps us to grow closer to God and read the Word more, that is an encouragement tool to keep, but if it makes us depend on that resource to know God more, then that is a distraction. A distraction that pulls you away from being directed connected to Him.

Paslms 84:1 How lovely is your dwelling place,
O Lord of hosts!
2  My soul longs, yes, faints
for the courts of the Lord;
my heart and flesh sing for joy
to the living God.

3 Even the sparrow finds a home,
and the swallow a nest for herself,
where she may lay her young,
at your altars, O Lord of hosts,
my King and my God.
4  Blessed are those who dwell in your house,
ever singing your praise! Selah

Peace in Turmoil

The wind was breathing hard and swifting through the trees right outside my house, makes me think about the tsunami in Japan. How many lives affected and tears shed. A history made by Tsunami.

I whispered a prayer for the victims that they will find refuge and peace in God. I hope through this unsightly event, people will turn to God and not away from Him.
God does not promise us bed of roses but a rainbow after the rain. Life may not be what it seems however we have something to look forward to as earth is just our temporary home. God and the angels awaits us in heaven with a new body and a mansion for each of us.

May we find Him even in the midst of storms and know He is sovereign above all. My anxious heart became stilled as I remembered who God is. He is my Prince of Peace.
