psalm 28

ok.. I nearly forgot my password! hahaha.. luckily still managed to rem. During sunday's service siokyit came leh!! On sat night, I was looking thru my hp pictures thn I stopped at this pic.

Photobucket
I dono why, but i just stopped there. Had a very strong prompting to pray for siokyit to come back to God. Budden I thought that it'll be difficult for it to happen and my mindset was "aiya wont come back one lah, pray for wad?!" So i din pray lo.

paraphrased from "Battlefied of the Mind"
~If we know in our Spirit that doing the thing is correct,
we should not allow reasoning to talk us into NOT doing it~

Such faithless thought!!

BUTBUT!! siokyit came for service leh. wa lao was super stun when i recalled God's prompting for me to pray for her. Indeed, God is always faithful even thou when one is faithless. I'm sure siokyit is touched by God's grace!

Psalm 28
1 To you I call, O LORD my Rock;
do not turn a deaf ear to me.
For if you remain silent,
I will be like those who have gone down to the pit.

2 Hear my cry for mercy
as I call to you for help,
as I lift up my hands
toward your Most Holy Place.

3 Do not drag me away with the wicked,
with those who do evil,
who speak cordially with their neighbors
but harbor malice in their hearts.

4 Repay them for their deeds
and for their evil work;
repay them for what their hands have done
and bring back upon them what they deserve.

5 Since they show no regard for the works of the LORD
and what his hands have done,
he will tear them down
and never build them up again.

6 Praise be to the LORD,
for he has heard my cry for mercy.

7 The LORD is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusts in him, and I am helped.
My heart leaps for joy
and I will give thanks to him in song.

8 The LORD is the strength of his people,
a fortress of salvation for his anointed one.

9 Save your people and bless your inheritance;
be their shepherd and carry them forever.

Today is psalm 28. to me it is a psalm of plea and a psalm of praise.

My prayer.
Lord, I pray that u hear my heart's desires to be sensitive to ur voice so that Lord I can hear loud and clear of what u want to tell me or to want me to do. Not only that, I pray for COURAGE to do the things that u tell me because, Lord, I'm sure these things are not out of the ordinary but from the extra-ordinary. Father, I thirst for dreams of u. Dreams like the first one that I had when I first knew u.

Lord, my covenant with u during the first dream still holds and I will remember it even thou there are many obstacles and challenges to come.

"The LORD is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusts in him, and I am helped.
My heart leaps for joy
and I will give thanks to him in song."


No matter what happens, I'll never pang sei u.

Psalm 25

I will start puting my psalms devotions here. Cos if i don, I will just read the psalm of the day and NOT ponder, reflect and seek God on it. So here it goes. Will start with today's psalm.

Psalm 25
4 Show me your ways, O Lord,
teach me your paths:
5 Guide me in your truth and teach me,
for you are God my Savior,
and my hope is in you all day long.

First of all, this 2 verses spoke to me quite abit. There were lotsa times when I asked God to show me the career path that I need to take. After grad from NP I wanted to get into MOE for the post Special Needs Officer (SNO). Did not know God thn so wasn't praying abt it. Hohoho.. did not get in. Very soon I gotta know God and my first few prayers were to find a job that i like.

First there is Savaskool. Learnt alot there, really alot. Games and dances for children. thn kinda kenna sacked. Quite sad, budden turned out the employers were quite indecent in some ways.

Thn i went to Justkids (childcare centre). Taught the kids all that I have learnt in Savaskool. Was a total fun with them. Learnt some leadership and interaction skills. Because of Justkids oso gotta know Lurvin (principal) and Oscar (kid with autism who draw me back to become SNO). After I quit thn me and lurvin chatted quite alot and we shared alota things such as how we know God, how she touched her family members, and I grow deep in the Lord partly through her. She's been a big blessing to me! Really thank God for her.

So now here I am being an SNO all over again. This time i prayed super hard. hahahah.. So I got in after all the beating around the bush. But looking back, I'm absolutely sure that God has really guide me to experience and learn alot during these times. Ultimately, God showed me His ways teach me more about him.
I'll continue to praise the LORD!
