On A Slippery Slope

I am tired today, maybe I will pray tomorrow. Aww, today it's such a tiring day, perhaps I can do later. I have too much to do, I am sure God understand, let me just rest. It's ok, I am sure the children are praying by themselves, I just needed to rest. Before I know it, days turned to weeks, weeks turned to months and months turned to years.... that's how long I have not spend time alone with the One that has saved me and love me till this very day. I have neglected my time with Him and I have stopped "growing" in Him. There are many times, He gave me little nudges but I ignore my Lord. My precious Father. Today, I am reminded that we can be on a slippery road and before we know it, we will slipe downwards faster than we can think! Psalm 141 shows how we can easily find ourselves slipping down sin’s slope. Prayer is one of the ways we stay alert to those slopes: “Do not let my heart be drawn to what is evil” (v. 4) is a plea that echoes the Lord’s P...

Focus

This morning when I woke up, a sudden thought came to me. It seems that I have lost my focus, took my eyes off from the ONE reason why I chose a different career. Instead I looked back at my decision and constantly wondering if I had made the right decision with the big "What if..." I was once told, when the Lord has shown me the way, I am not to look back but run...how true are these words because indeed I did look back. When I reminded of my focus, how broken I feel because I lost sight of Him, the Great I Am that loves me, provided for me and have carry me over mountains, valleys and the dessert. Today I want to refocus on Him, to fix my eyes on Jesus, knowing that if I abide in Him, He will abide in me and will watch and provide for me. Let there be no doubts, fear and worries for He will indeed will take care of my family and I, just as He always have, even without me asking or knowing. Thank you Lord for everything...

The First Shall be the Last

In this world, we have certain expectations. We expect the best to remain the best. We expect the first to remain the first...ALWAYS...because we rely on our abilities, our confidence, knowing that we can do what we do best. In having confidence in ourselves, we began to focus on our abilities, focus on ourselves and may perhaps lead us to self-centeredness... Before we began we formed the results in our head. We seem to know if we can do it or we can't. *Today's Our Daily Bread speaks of the spellbinding moment in the 2018 Winter Olympics was when the Czech Republic’s world champion snowboarder Ester Ledecka won an event in a completely different sport: skiing! And she took the first-place gold medal even though she had the unenviable position of skiing 26th—a feat believed to be basically impossible. Amazingly, Ledecka qualified to race the women’s super-G—an event that combines downhill skiing with a slalom course. After she won by .01 of a second on borrowed ski...
