You know guys, if you look at what's happening around you and the news you may get depressed. However our well being as children of God does not depend on what is happening around us.
Our well being depends on God.
If God is your very great reward in life as how Abraham received in his life, no devil no circumstances no Man can destroy you. Job was a good example. The devil wanted his life and yet He couldn't claim Job's life because of God Almighty.
But If God is not your God (you should know what I mean) then you're left with no choice but to fend yourself for your own life and what happens around the world is your life.
The basis of this is all based on
John 14:1 (NIV) - Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me.
Put your hope in God, for the well being of your life, your future, your career, your love ones, your partner in life. Everything.
Why I'm sharing this is because these few days I was really agitated by the things these red shirt malay are saying. If it was up to my flesh, I would pray for God to rain down judgement on their life but you know what happened? Before these aggravation could affect me deeper, there this sudden peace (I could feel it literally) encamping around my mind.
I know this happens because someone is praying for agitated Christians like me, and also because God is always faithful that He will take care as He has promised. Because of God's shalom peace, I could think more clearly wasn't agitated anymore and concluded we all NEED his shalom peace very badly to stop ourselves from reacting rashly.
This is what convince me, God is real, the God of peace as our shield in life. No other religion has a God who interacts with his people like this.
God Bless guys, n gals.

[VERSE] Christ is my reward And all of my devotion Now there's nothing in this world That could ever satisfy
[PRE-CHORUS] Through every trial My soul will sing No turning back I've been set free
[CHORUS] Christ is enough for me Christ is enough for me Everything I need is in You Everything I need
[VERSE] Christ my all in all The joy of my salvation And this hope will never fail Heaven is our home
[PRE-CHORUS] Through every storm My soul will sing Jesus is here To God be the glory
[BRIDGE] I have decided to follow Jesus No turning back No turning back
The cross before me The world behind me No turning back No turning back
This song is created from a very old hymn yet melodious called I've Decided To Follow Jesus, a very simple song that even Sunday school kid is singing it on every Sunday
This song is created from a very old hymn yet melodious called I've Decided To Follow Jesus, a very simple song that even Sunday school kid is singing it on every Sunday
"This I Believe (The Creed)"
Our Father everlasting The all creating One God Almighty
Through Your Holy Spirit Conceiving Christ the Son Jesus our Savior
I believe in God our Father I believe in Christ the Son I believe in the Holy Spirit Our God is three in one I believe in the resurrection That we will rise again For I believe in the name of Jesus
Our Judge and our Defender Suffered and crucified Forgiveness is in You
Descended into darkness You rose in glorious life Forever seated high
I believe in God our Father I believe in Christ the Son I believe in the Holy Spirit Our God is three in one I believe in the resurrection That we will rise again For I believe in the name of Jesus
I believe in You I believe You rose again I believe that Jesus Christ is Lord [x2]
I believe in God our Father I believe in Christ the Son I believe in the Holy Spirit Our God is three in one I believe in the resurrection That we will rise again For I believe in the name of Jesus [x2]
For I believe in the name of Jesus For I believe in the name of Jesus
I believe in life eternal I believe in the virgin birth I believe in the saints' communion And in Your holy Church I believe in the resurrection When Jesus comes again For I believe, in the name of Jesus
I believe in God our Father I believe in Christ the Son I believe in the Holy Spirit Our God is three in one I believe in the resurrection That we will rise again For I believe in the name of Jesus [x2]
Unfortunately that's the truth. Things got downhill in the recent 10-20 years or so.
During my dad's kid days, the village people don't care what colour you are. Still lend boats to each other, still eat together. And the kids get into trouble together.
Aiyoh now everything is an issue.
Bleh the Silent Hill haze is back. I have a feeling lots of Bomoh did their magic for the anti-bersih rally today.
And we know who's fault is that. Shh..
I guessed all Malaysians yearn for that peace (which I doubt will ever come) but certain quarters are adamantly playing with fire...as if to incite something.
Trust in God for protection.

It's the truth.
The truth stinks and no matter what the these people say or do, its hard to convince the rest..

I guess I'm glad I've found God. Who else can protect us in this insane world?
