Be Blessed!

While walking with a brother this morning, he told me a wonderful piece good new, of course, it did not come easy. He has to go thru "sort of" a valley of the shadow of "death" before the Lord brought him to Elim, where there were twelve wells of water and seventy palm trees; (Exo 15:27). Glory be to GOD!
And that remind me of my own experience while my dad went for his 2nd "balloon" surgery for his heart recently. My dad was asked to sign a form where he was told by the doctor that in this surgery, there are 3% chances where it will go wrong, causing him to suffer stroke or heart failure, and it will be a 2 hrs surgery.
At the moment, to me, it was like a clean sheet of paper having a "tiny black dot" on it. That "black dot" signified that 3% failure in the surgery. Although i pray and pray, but somehow i was still drawn to think of that tiny "black dot" instead of the other 97% successful. Full of fear and anxiety :) And after waiting for over 4 hours instead of 2 hours, that tiny black dot seem to be bigger and bigger. After waiting for almost 5 hours, finally, my dad was push back to the ward. The reason for the delay? well, it was due to a emergency case that the doctor have to attend to before attending to my dad :( and praise the Lord, my dad is well and normal now. But i believe, thru this, my dad got to know a name : LORD JESUS CHRIST!., to me, i was once again being trained by the Lord with regards to how much do i really cast my cares upon HIM, and believe that whatever it is, Jesus doeth all things well.
Dearest brothers and sisters, Isn't this what we are going thru daily. We just like to focus on that tiny "black dot" on a piece of clean sheet instead of the other 97% of the clean sheet. Oh, how we need the Lord Jesus Christ to preserve and sustain us daily. So often, we are lost when we face with so many problems in our lives, full of fears and anxiety.

May we learn to cast our care on HIM and continue to believe in HIM what comes may. You know, saints, before the Lord brought my dear brother to "Elim" where there were wells of water, while he was in the midst of the valley, althought he felt sad and despair, he did not blame or give up the LORD, yet he continue to pursue and before he realised, he reached not one but 12 wells of water, not one, but 70 palm trees. Be Blessed!

We are "ONE"

"If only you listen you would have listen to me", "Why you choose not to listen to me in the first place! you caused this mess, you clean it up!", " and "Is too late....." a song that love to be sung by a brother when mistake are made by someone else.

Does the above sound familiar to you or have it ever occurred to you before ? you, being the one who rebuke or the one being rebuke?

Looking back the years of my married, offended i am the one that rebuke my wife, right? mummy. I recalled when i asked her to be the financial controller of my house and when it ran into problem years back, i tend to jump at her, blaming her and usually we end up arguing. But today, i tks the Lord for opening my eye! Being "ONE" with her, we should share the problem together and not pointing finger. If i let her be the financial controller, i should trust wholeheartedly, of course, she will also discuss with me certain issues and when the decision are made, be it right or wrong, it is "OUR" mistake and not the other spouse mistake. Yes, she is still my financial controller, getting better and better :)

So, dear husband n wife or future husband and wife, remember, what ever decision that had been made by both of you, be it one party agreed or disagreed, when the mistake is made, pls do not point finger. All i can say is: we have to learn to trust one another. Of course, there are certain decision that is no so easy to decide, pls learn to pray and respect one another. Be Blessed!
