Just came back from lunch, and the first thing in my mind was “the project<\/em>“. And my heart reminded me about\u00a0trusting God<\/em>. I believe my heart was right. When the project seems very big too me such that i forgot other things, i have not trusted in God.<\/p>\n

It’s very easy to tell the story of David & Goliath to children, and tell them to trust in God. It’s easy as well to tell them how David remember God at all times, when we take “remember God<\/em>” as praying or reading the Bible.<\/p>\n

However it’s just a half truth. For when something else has become more important than God, we’re no longer trusting Him. And yes there’re many reasons for that. One that i could think at the moment is because the invisibility of God. The natural man sees what is visible. When God is not visible, His character and power will also be invisible to our eyes. Then our hearts slowly lessen its trust.<\/p>\n

So, this battle also belongs to the Lord. And let the whole world know, there is God in me.\u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n
