A Prayer Heard

Posted on December 4, 2015 by clay

But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer has been heard,…” ~ Luke 1:13

Earlier, we were told that Zechariah was a righteous man (v.8), who walks blamelessly in ALL the commandments of the Lord. So he was the equivalent of Noah and Abraham during the older time, and like Samuel and Daniel during the nation of Israel.

And we were not told what Zechariah’s prayer exactly. It could be prayers for himself, for his family, and for his nation. Whatever it was, God heard his prayer, and sent his angel to him.

“And you will have joy and gladness, …” ~ Luke 1:14

May we not grow weary and tired of praying. For God heard all prayers, and when the time comes, we would be surprised by the answer He gave.

Spirit of Celebration

Posted on December 3, 2015 by clay

These couple of days, I believe God did a work in my mind. For long times i was held in a perspective of seeing half empty glass. I did not realize it. Even when the story was told to me, I thought I knew it, but it still didn’t down upon me. Until a few incidences:

Amazed by Our God

Posted on October 19, 2015 by clay

He will respond to the prayer of the destitute;
    he will not despise their plea. ~ Psalm 102: 17

This morning, I asked to meet with one of the Management team. I spoke about my additional entitlement this year for 1 week extra paternity leave that given by Government. It is true that it’s easy for Government to issue, but for SME will be scrambling out to release the worker (again the issue that SME hasn’t really able to grapple yet). Continue reading →

Manna in the Dessert

Posted on September 21, 2015 by clay

About bank account?
So hard to save, but what’s the real issue?
Security in money? Instead of God?
God says He will take care. He will provide.
Habakuk that says, even when there’s nothing, I will rejoice.
It takes faith to believe in God, that He will do it

For the rich and for the poor, the issue is the same…more subtle for the rich and more real for the poor
What we long? Give us today our tomorrow bread?
For what we need today, as well as rest from our labor that tomorrow it will be given today
Still takes faith to face that what we have today is enough for tomorrow, for the sake of the rest in God

3 Years and What is it for me?

Posted on August 5, 2015 by clay

In 2 days times, we will celebrate our girls’ 3rd birthday. This year we will celebrate it bigger and hopefully better (by inviting her friends, and some our friends). My wife has been working very hard to ensure that everything is catered for. May the Lord bless her.

The last few days, my big girl has been behaving very badly. She challenged authority and purposefully did all the opposites that we asked of her. Our patience was running thin and both of us felt the strains. Last nite, she woke up in the middle of the nite, run outside the room and insisted that it was morning and hence she wanted to play.

Father Daughter Night (3): Why does Jesus knock?

Posted on July 21, 2015 by clay

Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me. ~ Revelation 3:20

Tonight as usual, I washed my girl before going to bed. While inside the toilet, I heard someone knocked on the door. Continue reading →

What are we seeing?

Posted on June 26, 2015 by clay

Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters, As the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, So our eyes look to the Lord our God, until He is gracious to us. ~Psalm 123:2

Sorry God

Posted on June 25, 2015 by clay

Our girl taught us song tonight. She sang beautifully. One the lyric said,”sorry God”. I just reminded that today I have not done rightly. The way i write email was not with right motive, and was really not God’s way. Sorry God for doing those things.

Tonight was also those one special night, for our two girls sleep together again (after so long). Our elder girl would be very happy tomorrow. Help her to sleep well through the night O Lord.

God whose ways and thoughts are higher than us

Posted on June 2, 2015 by clay

And he said to me, “To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its width and what is its length.”

‘Jerusalem shall be inhabited as villages without walls,  

And I will be to her a wall of fire all around, Lord, and I will be the glory in her midst.’(Zec 2:1-5)
