How to hope for things unseen

"But if we hope for what is still unseen by us, we wait for it with patience and composure." - Romans 8:25... Patience is makrothymeo in Greek = macros (long) + thymos (the soul- seat of feelings and passions, including anger and temper). The combination of these 2 words suggest we delay our anger & be long of feeling. Patience is not just waiting alone. It is waiting with hope, joy and a sound mind knowing God will deliver. It is waiting and not letting fear overcome you as you wait. It is waiting and whilst meditating of God's Word and promises, not grumbling. Prayer is calling out and sowing God's promises in your life. Patience is waiting whilst your seed grows and bears fruit. The Product of these is the joy of knowing His love, bearing fruits of the Spirit, reaping an abounding harvest, and enjoying life and life more abundantly in this life and knowing you're saved after you depart from this life. Have a highly blessed, greatly favoured and deeply loved...

2 Sam 7:18 - King David went in and sat

2 Sam 7:18 - King David went in and sat before the LORD. A small detail often overlooked here is this- David sat before God. By sitting down, David renounced royal initiative, abdicated kingly authority, got himself out of the driver's seat, and deliberately and reverently placed himself before God his King. David sat. An incredible feat when we begin to understand the conditions under which he did it- so full of desire for God he was, so bursting with plans for God. Stopping David in that condition was like reigning in a team of runaway horses. But David let himself be stopped by God. We need to, like David, let go and let God be God. Jesus take the wheel- Amen!

Conformity, not cowardice, is the opposite of Courage.

"But I did not behave like them out of reverance to God." - Neh 5:15. Nehemiah was governor for 12 yrs & chose not 2 be corrupt like the governors b4 him. He chose integrity becoz of a high regard & respect for God. Let's make the above quote the reason why we may make the right decisions even tho' they aren't easy. It's impt for us to value God's opinion over man's. ;) Who do we trust/ serve? :-D We can only choose one Master over our life. Choose wisely. Hugs! SHALOM- Geri

Kae and his Primary 1 classmates celebrate CNY in his school! =D

I am so impressed. The teachers have created a blog for the Primary 1 students and parents. =) It has photos so we can see what goes on and I think that this is another great way Kheng Cheng builds rapport with the parents. The parent-teacher communication line is very open, friendly and strong. Love his school. Praise God that he is in it. =D (click to see the full photo - Kae is on the right side of the pic. Hehe.)
