Dunno why.. But for the past few days, the past has been haunting me...

Dear Lord Jesus,
let this be my one desire. Create in me a hunger for You so intense that it can never be satisified till I fill it with You.

Tired.. I am very tired.. Tons of things to do and yet no mood and energy to do...

Supposed to be doing an essay now. But having writer's block.. (But hey, why no writer's block for blogging?) Ha...

Saw my sister in school today. She said I look exhausted. Went to the toilet to have a look. Yup. I do look exhausted. Super big dark eye-rings... And I saw a tiny pimple popping up.. Sigh...

And yet, Mel said I look better.. Siao..


Sigh... I used to look quite good..

Was chatting with a friend on MSN just now. He made a very striking statement that I hope I can remember for life.

"When there is a great painting, people become in awe of it. But I rather be in awe of the painter Himself. "

This, I will strive to do. I should not be awed and be amazed by the great works God has done. Why should I? I should not be alarmed by this cos I should know for a fact that these works are nothing to God. He who had done great miracles in the past can do the excat same things since He is the same yesterday, today and forever...

I should give glory to His name instead and be excited not at His works but at who He is...

Okie! Lemme put my faithless past behind and strive to know God more!

A new blogskin... a colourful one... A bit tired of the orangish n dull one..

Hey, some friends said that they cannot see my blog entries in this new one.. Is it true? Gimme feedback, ya?

Putting our Faith No Matter What

Our church is currently doing a series on Daniel and it’s always fascinating how God can use stories that you think you already know it all, to teach you or remind you of things. Recently, we were reading Daniel 3 and I was reminded of the faith of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.

King Nebuchadnezzar had created a golden image and demanded that everyone bowed down and worship it. The Bible says that these 3 men, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego refused. According to the king’s (small caps in purpose) decree, anyone that refused to bow will be thrown into the fire. Here is the response of these 3 faithful men of God:

This is what faith is all about. Faith is what remains after all the acts and masks is stripped away. It is easy to say that we put our faith in God when things are going well, it is quite another thing when things around us start crumbling and we find ourselves on shaky ground. These 3 men were willing to put their lives where their faith is. They don’t merely profess to trust in God, then act it out and stake everything on their conviction. I wonder how many of us Christians in this present day and age of developed countries, who face no obvious persecution, can respond in the same manner as these men did.

But more than that, there is another small group of words that has ministered to me more than this is the words that come after their declaration of faith. It is the simple but so powerful words, ‘Even if God does not…’ I believe that these words alone is powerful enough to disarm any weapon that the enemy throws at us. While we trust God to deliver us from various trials and tribulations, we also need to recognize that God does not work within the boundaries of our limited understanding. Sure, we hope to get cured of cancer and who doesn’t want that unreasonable boss to be removed? But sometimes, our most desperate prayers do not get answered the way we hope. But we must still continue to do what is right.

Shadrach, Meschah and Abednego demonstrated this by saying that even if God does not save their physical bodies from the fire, it will still not change the fact that God knows best and that their faith in Him remains unwavering.


Now complete this sentence if it is applicable to you as your present moment, “Even if God does not deliver me, I will ….” and ask God for strength to see it through regardless of what our physical eyes see.
