Learning to Breath


"Make the best use of your time, despite all the difficulties of these days", be a "good manager". This verse though does not say despite the difficulties of tomorrow's life or the life five years from now, because "Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow.What is your life? You are a mist". and "for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." It is good to imagine yourself what you can do, not for God, but to glorify God, because God doesn't need our handout. However, when we imagine what we can do to glorify God, "you ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that." Just like king David, he wanted to build the temple, but God said this is not my will to build the temple on king David, but his will to build on king Solomon. God is reviewing his sovereignty, and His all-power and all-knowing. Down to earth in our life, therefore after all, we all should live by faith, and lend not by our own understanding, yet be a "good manager".

and yes, "I do not consider I have made it my own, but one thing I do, Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus"

Let's keep praying for each other. This verse hit me a lot about prayer: "As for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the LORD by failing to pray for you." This is said by Samuel as the leader of Israel, yet Israel sinned against God, and Samuel consider that he sinned against God by failing to pray for the people. That's interesting.

I pray for Mom and Dad and Jean and I will all walk on the path of God. All in for God, and live by faith, so that we will truly experience His peace and joy in life, even while going through suffering. If there is things that separate us from God, maybe workload, responsibility, money, etc I pray if necessary, God will take away these things from me, so that I will learn to depend on God, and so that I will receive His true honey and milk.
