Seeking God

I believe many would have this question popped up in their heads every now and then,  be it believers or not; “Does God loves me?”. This is often amplified in trying times, where our faith is stretched.

Sure enough we should press on and believe God will lead us through, easier said then done. The devil is good at tempting us, prying into minds and expanding our doubts on God’s promises in our lifes. One of the questions would be, whether we believers are really seeking just a meer experience that God is around, or are we seeking after Him?

Knowing God’s nature that He is omipresent, we already have the assurance that God is always near us. However, if one is bothered at how God shows His grace and glory to others, e.g. Someone who has been miraculously healed from a terminal illness and compares it to his/her own experiences, he/she is surely  making a wrong judgement on how God works. For God is a creative God, he has made us all uniquely, be it in terms of race, size, praise & worship styles as well as how He reveals Himself to us. Different as we may be, but one thing lies the same that is: God is constant, He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow!

The “Policy of Radical Honesty” in the relationship series is also applicable in our relationship with God, especially in times of doubt! Honesty and openess with God is important, even great men of God such as Job and King David had their share of pouring their complains to God. However, we should not simply stop there! Having whatever faith we have left as our spiritual fuel and meditating on His Word, we are reinforcing and topping up our faith tank.

Therefore, no matter in what languages, ways we praise and worship God, do not just seek the experience (feeling), but really His heart. For it is faith and not feeling that pleases God.

“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” ~ Matt 6:33 (NKJV)

Amen.

Hey it’s a new post!

This got to be at least the fifth or sixth time I have done  this, crawling back from the slums of blog-AWOLing…

To me, blogging first started as a spur of interest in the midst of the ever-changing scene of information technology, slowly degrading to a burdersome chore of thinking what to put up, checking for grammatical and spelling errors in my posts, making sure these posts abides to (at least) the minimal level of moral justification, etc. Probably the idea of a “publicily readable post” found its way to trigger my annoying sense of perfectionism and hence wrecking the pure joy of simple blogging.

Well, so much for justifying my inactivity… Time to roll out a new chapter for my blog! As Pastor always says: “Don’t just talk the talk but walk the walk”~

Cheers

NTU Welcome Week… Mio-ed…

2nd week of the new term, everything is still as fast paced as ever.

Yes, it’s the annual welcome week for freshies of NTU. Basically, went down to help out at the archery recruitment booth for Monday and Tuesday during my free slots. Though we were not really noticeable due to the nearby other clubs (e.g. Cheerleading, etc), the place we had was a-lot better than last year’s booth where it was extremely cramp.

Stayed over in Hall from Tuesday till Thursday as I have morning 8:30 classes for 3 consecutive days. Sad rite? Anywayz, my sore throat was not getting any better till Thursday. Thus, choir prac on Wednesday did proved to be more challenging than usual. -_-”

Met up my FYP prof on Thursday to get some stuff settled and he stunned me saying that I’ve a report to submit on Monday to him [jaw-dropped]. Well of course, I didn’t even have any doubts on that matter as he IS the course coordinator for FYPs… (And that adds on to my list of tasks for the weekend)

Thursday’s cell-group was refreshing after 4 long days and on top of that Sze Ching joined us for the 1st time! Oh yah! The message that Dr. AR Bernard brought to us on Sunday was really powerful, as it really relates to us and what should be perceive as being relevant yet being able drawing the line of what shouldn’t be done that the world is doing.

This morning was pouring since 7:00 and to think that I have classes at 8:30! The route from hall to the lecture hall seemed longer than usual, while trying to seek for sheltered walkways… Neural Network tutorial was still ok at this point of time doh, hope and pray that it’ll stay this way… Jia You…

Finally got my mio connection up by 16:00, the technician who came to setup the package mentioned that there’s some prob with my house phone line BUT everything still works for now…
