A Road Not Traveled

God doesn't stand at a juncture and point the way; He's a guide, not a signpost. He walks with us, leading us down paths we never envisioned. All we have to do is walk alongside Him.

The path won't be easy; there'll be rough places along the way. But God has promised that He will turn darkness into light and will not forsake us. He'll be with us all the way.

Paul said that God is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine. We can scheme and envision, but our Lord's imagination far transcends our plans. We must hold them loosely and see what God has in mind.

Jesus, I thank You that You have plans for me far beyond my imagination. Help me follow Your lead.

Just A Touch

God takes us out of our comfort zone to show us new things, to stretch us, to help us grow. But He also brings the courage and comfort through every situation. He won't leave us alone in our trials. He has everything under control. He has us in His hands.

And I suspect that this Mr. Horton's Secretary already sudah berkomplot with this Miss Chew...

The chronological of the events:

Samuel was complaining about Miss Chew in our WatsApp Chat group; so this Mr. Horton's Secretary also sokong lah...

Then the next day, Miss Chew apps me privately. Mr. Horton's Secretary is doing the competitor's promotion compilation mah...ask me to outsource this to Erin & Heidi because the both of them are very free. This will free up Mr. Horton's Secretary work, Mr. Horton's Secretary can do analytics more...interesting isn't it...Samuel, Mr. Horton's Secretary & myself also can do analytics leh; we are also doing it now mah...why emphasis Mr. Horton's Secretary more...Mr. Horton's Secretary got berbisik something to Miss Chew's ear that Mr. Horton's Secretary do the most analytics work in the group? Mr. Horton's Secretary is the brainy one mah...

Thereafter, Miss Chew email me, cc Mr. Horton's Secretary...tanya me whether I got share with Mr. Horton's Secretary our final press & digital promotions or not...I memang tak ada lah...so many things to email out meh...and anyway, another colleague also got shared them out earlier via email. Mr. Horton's Secretary's job is to compile, takkan everything want to spoon-feed right...so, I told Miss Chew to loop in Mr. Horton's Secretary lor. Wah, then this Mr. Horton's Secretary polish apple so nicely & shine shine...thanking Miss Chew for looping her in & praise Miss Chew for job well done...then Miss Chew pula hentam me...oh, didn't know that I did not cascade down to the team...adoi...

God Is Good Enough

A sense of our own weaknesses is healthy. But if we use them as an excuse to keep God from using us, we insult HIM. What we're really saying is that God isn't good enough...

Hang In There

Hang In There...it might be tempting to dismiss those words as simplistic.

Hanging In There - the Bible calls it Perseverance - isn't possible through mere willpower. We preserve because God promised, over and over, that He's with us, that He'll give us strength and that He'll accomplish His purposes in our lives.

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

What does it take to Hang In There? According to Isaiah, the foundation for hope is God's character. Knowing God's goodness allows us to release our grip on fear so we can cling to the Father and His promise that He will provide what we need each day: Strength, Help and God's Comforting, Empowering and Upholding Presence.

The Main Actor

So the pressure's off. We don't need to fret, compare, work with compulsive energy or feed our many anxieties. God is in charge.

God, I've been paying lip service to You being in charge of my world. It's exhausting and I want to stop doing that. Help me trust You.

Finding A Quiet Life

#Covid-19
#StayAtHome

Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life.

You should mind your own business and work with your hands so outsiders respect you and you're not a burden on anyone.

Jesus, living a quiet life sounds so inviting, but I know it won't come easily. I ask for the grace to mind my own business, not so I can close myself off from the world, but that I won't add to the noise.

Trust Your Armor

We don't get the impression that David the young shepherd was unsure of himself when it came to wearing Saul's' armour to fight Goliath. He simply couldn't move around in it. David realized one man's armor can be another man's prison. I cannot move in these. So he trusted what he knew. God had prepared him for that moment with just what was needed. The sling and stones were what David was used to, his armor and God used them to bring joy to the ranks of Israel that day.

Have you ever felt unsure of yourself, thinking - if I just had what someone else has, then my life would be different? Consider the gifts or experiences God has given specifically to you. Trust your God-given armor.

Sovereign God, at times it's easy to feel unsure of myself, especially in situations where challenges feel like giants. Help me to trust that You've given me just what I need. You've crafted my life's story.

Growing To Know

Learning is like climbing a sand dune. Sometimes you feel like you're not getting anywhere. But just keep going and you will.

I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation.

Life has its challenges. But as we turn to the One who has overcome the world, we discover not only that He's faithful to get us through but also that nothing matters more than closeness to Him. He gives us His peace, helps us to trust and empowers us to go the distance as we walk with Him.
