Jesus is LORD

Psalm 43:2 For You are the God of my strength..

My friend and i saw this BIG signage (it's really big, on top of a building) during our Hong Kong trip, we were at Causeway Bay, walking around, there are many lanes, and we almost lost our way, our legs are tired, and still long way before we reach the nearest train station, and BEHOLD! The signage shinning brightly from afar, as if shouting out of the darkness:

Jesus is LORD! Jesus is LORD!

We were both very excited when we saw the sign, we took many pictures (cause the wind was strong) and Praise Jesus mostly turn out well!

After we were satisfied looking at the name, took our picture, we continue to walk, and we both felt the tiredness gone, we were both in the high of His love, He strenghen us at the right time, just as we were started talking nonesense, He just shouted out to us.

The same thing happened the next day, at Mongkok, when we started feeling tired, we lift up our head and saw another sign of our Lord (not this one) and again it gave strength to us! When we talked about that, both realise the Lord, simply His name, is full of strength, and full of joy to look at. He will run to us, to present Himself as our very present help. Interestingly, it both appeared when we felt our energy were drained and tired.

We felt so loved seeing Him, and felt so loved because we know He is there with us wherever we go. Oversea trip is full of fun with our LORD!!!

Amen!!!

Gracious Father

My Abba is gracious, indeed a gracious one.

Even in my wrong doing, He is gracious to wait for me to turn around, He is so patient, and full of love, He will never despise me, in face, He defended me..
"When you are sick and tired of your mistakes, when you turn around, I AM there for you"
Indeed, more then once, He is always there, with smile on His face, graciously embrace me, and let His love heal my wounds. He is lovely, so lovely..

In His grace i'll be strong, in my weakness His wisdom may abound and teach me many things. He is mighty God, He is my gracious Father..

Amen!

Give Thanks

1Th 5:18
In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

A brother shared about giving thanks to the Lord, in all time, for by which the grace might abound much more in the supernatural way..

Without knowing it, i too become greatly blessed by this simply truth; In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

I sprained my ankle last Saturday, after i came home still walking, limping. The same night boss called because of some mistake i made caused trouble in work, my heart sunk, and the thought come quickly to disturb: why is all this thing happen?

Thanks be to God the Holy Spirit is not slow too, immediately urging me to enter the room, and simply: give thanks, give thanks... (I can imagine ps mark's comment: how to?) nevertheless i started giving thanks like what ps mark did, for things around me, things i can see, then things i cannot see, i started thanking God for His promises, as i walked to and fro in the room. I couldn't remember how long, but at one point i stop and realise i am no more limping! i am walking normally! I continue to give thanks and His love was so strong! i felt so loved in His pressence, tears filled my eyes and all cares dim in His glory.

Monday come, the care that bothers me just pass me by, His abundant of grace give courage and strength for us to face any trouble that may come, and the same grace keep us in His protection and edified us and teach us to face the trouble with more wisdom. We will never thank Him enough for this super amazing grace, but we shall continue to give thanks because that's the way to keep us focus on Him and He is the only way for us to go out of our trouble.

(additional reading: Psalms 9)
I will praise You, O LORD, with my whole heart;
I will tell of all Your marvelous works.
I will be glad and rejoice in You;
I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.

Do you know when David sang this psalms? when the first son of him and bathseeba died, and after this, out came Soloman, the beloved of God, the son of peace.

Give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
