Day 31: Psalm 11, Proverbs 21:22-24,  Acts 11, Nahum 1-2

Consider Jesus Now
The Lord  is good, A stronghold in the day of trouble; And He knows those who trust in Him.
Nahum 1:7 NKJV

On Day 30, I ended by urging pre-believers to trust God. Today, we have the assurance that God knows those who trust in Him. This is truly good news. We have the King of kings and the Lord of lords KNOWING us! Our Lord is good and He is a stronghold in the days of trouble.  With such a good God, why people still  do not want to trust in Jesus? I can think of 3 possible reasons: (1) People are not ready to meet a holy God. (2) People take God for granted by thinking they still have the time to repent at the later part of their lives. (3) People are just don't bother what will happen after death. For the aforesaid questions, I humbly propose the replies respectively: (1) We must realise that we cannot escape the Judgment of God and hence it is better to prepare ourselves now and be safe rather than be sorry later. (2)  Life is fragile - we need to handle with care and hence we do not know what will happen even later. (3) People may be happy to be an atheist during their life times but if we were to inform them that once they die as an atheist,  there will be no prayers but just to bury their bodies, they would not want this kind of "funeral". Hence, to all my dear friends, do ponder about lives and consider Jesus! I personally took 6  months before I committed myself to Jesus and once I believe there is no turning back and I wish I have known Him earlier! https://twitter.com/EstherOngHC (please click to view a visual)

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...

Day 69: Psalm 49, Proverbs 25:4-6, 1 Corinthians 5, Genesis 49-50 Do Our Utmost For His Highest Joseph said to them, “Do not be afraid, for am I in the place of God? But as for you, you meant evil against me; but  God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it  is this day, to save many people alive. Now therefore, do not be afraid; I will provide for you and your little ones.” And he comforted them and spoke kindly to them. Genesis 50:19‭-‬21 (http://bible.com/114/gen.50.19-21.NKJV) When we hear stories of how the evil triumphs over the good, we are angry. If it happens in real life to us, we may question God. We may go around feeling very miserable, angry and unproductive. However, Joseph in the Old Testament did not have such feelings but instead he went about doing his best in whatever tasks given to him, knowing that God is in charge and in control. He knew God would deliver goodness out of the seemingly bad circumstances. How we too need to have this attitu...

Day 187 - Have Fear of God Read: Psalm 145; Proverbs 6:28-31; Revelation 6; 2 Samuel 15-16 2 Samuel 15 & 16 15:13 A messenger came and told David, “The hearts of the people of Israel are with Absalom.”14 Then David said to all his officials who were with him in Jerusalem, “Come! We must flee, or none of us will escape from Absalom. We must leave immediately, or he will move quickly to overtake us and bring ruin on us and put the city to the sword.” To me, as a parent, it is so sad to note that King David got to run for his life from his own son, Absalom. His own son schemed for 40 years (15:7) to topple his own father - could you believe that? This is our Bible - it will not hide - all the successes and failures of God's people are truthfully reported. Why did King David suffer this? It started with his own sin of adultery with Bathsheba (11:3) Even though God had forgiven him when he sincerely repented by recognising that he sinned against the Lord (12:13), King David nee...
