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 Prayer almost exactly: “Lead [me] not into temptation, but deliver [me] from the evil one” (Matthew 6:13). In His goodness, God hears and answers this prayer.
By:  David H. Roper

Yes I have indeed slipped down the slope! And I looked up and see Him there. I need to get back where I belong, and I only can do so with my eyes fixed on Him and He by my side.

Yes Lord! I need You then and I need You now even more!

My dad-in-law passed away on September 1, 2007 to begin an eternal life with our Lord. He was a man with few words, gentle in his ways and had a generous heart to all. He had led a hard life but he was blessed with a loving and faithful wife and three wonderful sons. He had fought a long hard battle of cancer for years. And throughout his life, he kept his heart closed against the Lord. Due to persistent prayers of those who love him and the brotherly love of Sitiawan Methodist Church members, my dad-in-law accepted the Lord Jesus as his personal Saviour, follow thereafter by my mum-in-law. They were both baptized last month. His sickness took a bad turn last week and the sons were called to return home to see him for the last time. There were a few times that they thought my dad-in-law was not going to make it but he managed to pull through. It came to a point, my brother-in-law prayed for a confirmation from God the time which my dad-in-law will be called home. The day before my dad-...

I couldn’t sleep that night. As much as I wanted to but I was full of excitement that my heart could hardly contained. I looked around me and the room was almost in total darkness. The sun has yet to rise for the day. I turned around to turn off my alarm and lie on my back looking up the ceiling. Train of thoughts was running through my mind like a movie clip. As soon as I heard birds chirping, I turned to my side and got up from my bed to make my way to the bathroom. It was nice taking a warm shower before the start of the day. I slowly made my way to the kitchen to find my mother already awake and was up and about preparing breakfast. I was halfway enjoying my hot piping coffee when I received a call on my cell. “Hi, I am outside your house”. I was expecting him to come but didn’t expect him to be this early. I opened the front door and we made our way to my parents’ room. I sat in front of the mirror relaxing myself while he did his masterpiece of painting my face. After a whole 2 h...

Mummy & I

I took leave about 2 weeks ago, to take care of Sara while Grandma made a mad rush to the immigration department to renew her passport for her overseas trip end of this month. So it was just me and the Baby. Took Sara to the in door park in Bangsar Village II. It was her first and mine (as in taking Sara to an indoor park). They charged a whopping RM10 per entry per kid but the parents go in for free. So the kid gets to play the whole day and we can go in and out of the park for a little shopping and meals. Being first timer in an indoor park, all Sara did was to pick up all the balls she found on the floor and threw them back into the ball pit. After a good fifteen minutes, did she then dipped herself in the ball pit while Mummy looks on. We were there for an hour or so and left for lunch. But before that Sara refused to return the ball into the ball pit and held on tightly. Since it is a kid’s zone, the staffs were equipped for situations like this and swiftly took out a balloon in e...
