Day 133 - Get Ourselves Ready and Be Prepared! Read: Psalm 111; Proverbs 31:25-27; 2 Thessalonians 2; Deuteronomy 19-20 2 Thes 2 3 Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. 4 He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God. The second coming of the Lord shall be preceded by the above event when there would be a man of lawlessness who would exalt himself, proclaiming himself to be God. We are seeing some glimpses of such unfolding events leading to the aforesaid scenarios. Hence, we have to be prepared. Imagine! it will be a man of lawlessness which means he will perhaps ban all Scriptures as he wants all on earth to worship him as God and hence ban any other form of religion. We HAVE TO prepare and equip ourselves - at least keep God's Word

Day 134 - Be An Example, Walk the Talk Read: Psalm 112;  Proverbs 31:28-31; 2 Thessalonians 3; Deuteronomy 21-22 2 Thessalonians 3 6  In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we command you, brothers and sisters, to keep away from every believer who is idle and disruptive and does not live according to the teaching you received from us. 7  For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example. We were not idle when we were with you, 8  nor did we eat anyone’s food without paying for it. On the contrary, we worked night and day, laboring and toiling so that we would not be a burden to any of you. 9  We did this, not because we do not have the right to such help, but in order to offer ourselves as a model for you to imitate. Deuteronomy 21 5  The Levitical priests shall step forward, for the LORD your God has chosen them to minister and to pronounce blessings in the name of the LORD and to decide all cases of dispute and assault. Paul exhorted the Thessalonians t

Day 132 - Do Not Presume Read: Psalm 110; Proverbs 31:22-24; 2 Thessalonians 1; Deuteronomy 17-18 “Now the man who acts presumptuously and will not heed the priest who stands to minister there before the LORD your God, or the judge, that man shall die. So you shall put away the evil from Israel. And all the people shall hear and fear, and no longer act presumptuously.” ‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭17:12-13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ http://bible.com/114/deu.17.12-13.nkjv Many a times, we carry out our tasks based on lots of presumptions. We thought we knew but they were based on the wrong premise. We have not checked properly as we have presumed the same. In the above verses today, we can see the seriousness of acting presumptuously - the person shall die! What a warning for us to heed. Hence, we should not presume that it is ok that we don't put God first when God has clearly in His Word says in Matthew 6:33 to "seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added

Day 131 - Be Open to God Read: Psalm 109;  Proverbs 31:19-21; 1 Thessalonians 5; Deuteronomy 15-16 Psalm 109 “Help me, O LORD my God! Oh, save me according to Your mercy, That they may know that this is Your hand— That You, LORD, have done it! Let them curse, but You bless; When they arise, let them be ashamed, But let Your servant rejoice. Let my accusers be clothed with shame, And let them cover themselves with their own disgrace as with a mantle. I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; Yes, I will praise Him among the multitude.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭109:26-30‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ http://bible.com/114/psa.109.26-30.nkjv What a comfort to know that the Psalmist in the BIble prayed such a prayer as in Psalm 109. He was open to God and uttered his heart’s contents to God. I am sure all of us have gone through seasons of dryness where people seems to accuse us without justification and how we were victimised for no apparent reasons. Or we are so frustrated to see injustices being rolled

Lately, I have been very busy as there are 2 major celebrations...my father's 80th Birthday and my parent's 52nd Wedding Anniversary celebrations. Finally, today is the DAY. 9.9.17. I really thank God that His grace is truly sufficient for my parents. To see that they now have a chance to walk down the aisle is truly the amazing grace of God. It is so romantic that my father looked at my Mom during the session on Renewal of Vows and then he elegantly looked at the crowd. How I am thankful for my parents for their genuine love and their dedication to us, 4 siblings. My father, who was a salesman then, though travelled regularly did not fail to bring us with him during his outstation trips during school holidays. During those days, there were no MPV nor SUV and hence, all four of us would be "sardined pack "in a sedan car travelling whole of Peninsular Malaysia, but we still find those period of time so memorable and our childhood meaningful. All I want to say is that p

Day 130 - What A Glorious Hope Read: Psalm 108; Proverbs 31:16-18; 1 Thessalonians 4; Deuteronomy 13-14 1 Thessalonians 4 15 According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord,w will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.x 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven,y with a loud command, with the voice of the archangels and with the trumpet call of God,a and the dead in Christ will rise first.b 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lorde forever. 18 Therefore encourage one another with these words. What an encouragement to know that we have a better hope and we SHALL meet our dear Lord Jesus face to face. We shall be caught up together with the saints of old to meet our Jesus! Henceforth, whatever that is happening in this world, it should not shock us as believers as we DO KNOW
