All of us like to have stability. We want to see a tree that is planted by the streams of water to be sturdy and firm despite heavy rain or thunderstorm. We want to see that the tree yields its fruit in season and the leaf does not wither. This is exactly the picture given by the psalmist in Psalm 1 of the Bible. What is the secret? In Psalm 1:2,3, it says to take delight in the Word of God and meditates on His law day and night and the promise is whatever we do shall prosper. Why not start the year by starting to read His Word at least a chapter a day? Be like the Apostle Peter, to take the 1st step out of the boat to walk on the water. Even though subsequently he was afraid, Jesus IMMEDIATELY reached out His hand and took hold of him. Read Matthew 14:28-33.
Day 190 - Enjoy God! Read Psalm 148; Proverbs 7:4-6; Revelation 9; 2 Samuel 21-22 2 Samuel 22 v30 - By God, I can run against a troop and by my God, I can leap over a wall v33 - God is my strength and power! He makes my way perfect! Reading the above verses warmed my heart as I recalled the sweet victory I had as I trusted God when He assured me exactly with the above verses way back in 1994 when I did my Certificate of Legal Practice (CLP). It was the first day of exam and my Quiet Time for that day turned out to be reading the above verses. What a joy! What an assurance! I knew by God and with God, I could leap over CLP examination and would cross over the challenge and would pass to do my chambering. True enough, I passed and started my chambering in 1995. All glory to God! Hence, how important for us to keep reading God's Words as our loving Heavenly Father is so eager to speak and communicate with us. Please do run to Him, embrace and enjoy the sweet communion and taste...
