Prayer 禱告
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. Give us day by day our daily bread.
And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us.
And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.
我們在天上的父、願人都尊你的名為聖。願你的國降臨。
願你的旨意行在地上如同行在天上。我們日用的飲食、天天賜給我們。
赦免我們的罪、因為我們也赦免凡虧欠我們的人。
不叫我們遇見試探．救我們脫離凶惡。
Luke 路 加 福 音 11:2-4

The End is near
The topic of end time was brought up during lunch time yesterday, again this scripture comes to my mind:
"You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed.
Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.
Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
There will be famines and earthquakes in various places... ...
Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death and you will be hated by all nations because of me.
At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.
Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved.
And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. (Matthew 24:5-14)"
They remind me to live my life to the fullness and to do what I was asked to do by Him to preach His word.

Love is ...
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. - 1 Cor 13:4-8
1 Samuel 18:9
And from that time on Saul kept a jealous eye on David.
Doing something right for God will be blessed by God and by being successful for God can draw jealousy from others. They want something that you have (the presence of God that is with you) but they don't know what's that made you triumphant.

1 Samuel 17:34 -37 & 45
But David said to Saul, "Your servant has been keeping his father's sheep. When a lion or a bear came and carried off a sheep from the flock, I went after it, struck it and rescued the sheep from its mouth. When it turned on me, I seized it by its hair, struck it and killed it. Your servant has killed both the lion and the bear; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like on of them, because he has defied the armies of the living God. The LORD who delivered me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine."
David said to the Philistine, "You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the LORD Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied."
God really loves this young boy's way of thinking that he just believe in God's ability instead of his own short coming.

1 Samuel 16:7
But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for i have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."
Try to look at things a different way, don't judge a book by its cover. The cover will only gives you the first impression and the rest you will need to take time to read it.

1 Samuel 15:11
"I am grieved that I have made Saul king, because he has turned away from me and has not carried out my instructions." Samuel was troubled, and he cried out to the LORD all that night.
Apparently Saul some how could not follow God's command for 100%, he did only those he thinks are relevant to him and the rest he made up excuses for himself and ignore it.

1 Samuel 13:13-14
"You acted foolishly," Samuel said, "You have not kept the command the LORD your God gave you; if you had, he would have established your kingdom over Israel for all time. But now your kingdom will not endure; the LORD has sought out a man after his own heart and appointed him leader of his people, because you have not kept the LORD's command."
God's plan for David way before he knows anything about it

1 Samuel 12:20-22
"Do not be afraid," Samuel replied. "You have done all this evil; yet do not turn away from the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart. Do not turn away after useless idols. They can do you no good, nor can they rescue you, because they are useless. For the sake of his great name the LORD will not reject his people, because the LORD was pleased to make you his own."
1 Samuel 10:6 & 9
6 The Spirit of the LORD will come upon you in power, and you will prophesy with them; and you will be changed into a different person.
9 As Saul turned to leave Samuel, God changed Saul's heart, and all these signs were fulfilled that day.
Well, obviously God baptized Saul with the Holy Spirit and changed him but thats just wasn't enough.

1 Samuel 9:16
"About this time tomorrow I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin. Anoint him leader over my people Israel; he will deliver my people from the hand of the Philistines. I have looked upon my people, for their cry has reached me."
God's will for Saul is perfect, yet why things didn't turn out to be perfect as it was supposed to be ?

Good Friday Easter Sunday
It is weird to see that so many people are so keen on celebrating Christmas and yet Easter don't quite receive the same response and atmosphere. Yes, the birth of Christ is important and yet the death and risen back of Christ marks the purpose of his 1st coming. John 3:16 says that For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. Jesus the King of kings and Lord of lords was thinking of you and me when He was hanging on the cross and he died on the cross for our sins so that we can be reconciled with God and it is promised to us that we shall live forever.
The ultimate Reference in your life
Many a times in our life that we search for knowledge and we yearn for wisdom so that we would make the right choices and decisions. We read philosophies and books from people who are successful (or we think they are) and look at their life story.
But why don't we look at the Word ?
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and life was the light of men. (John 1:1-4)
If this was written some thousand years ago and still relevant to this modern day life doesn't it worth at least a look ?
