The master planner

In the afternoon I attended a wedding of my two church mates. The pastor talked about this passage. Jeremiah 29:11: For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

He gave an example how my church mates got to know each other from the same ministry in church although they were from different backgrounds. By faith there is no coincident but God is the master planner. God allows things to happen for a reason. God is in control. It gave me so much assurance hearing this.

In evening I went to visit my good friend. I had a nice home cooked dinner and played with her nephew. She told me how envious she was as I could serve in the Sunday school previously and now in the choir. I told her she would have a chance if she wanted to. However due to her commitments she could not. I pondered about this and I thanked God. Now I understand it was not coincident or because I wanted to so I got this opportunity to serve. It was God's plans for me. I put much trust in Jesus now as I know He is my hope and my future. How about you?

Lamp Post

Tonight as I was walking home at the dark night, there was a lamp post (installed each a meter a way) to brighten the road. I feel so thankful for the lamp post. It was just nice for a path I was walking. Suddenly I saw a worm and I freckled out and quickly walked a side. I wondered if I saw the worm before I was there, would I choose this path or another path.

Someone’s ever shared in the fellowship on Psalm 119:105 [Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path]. God does not give the light fires with a flashlight so that you can see your future ahead because it may frighten you. However God gives a lamp for our individual path. We might not know what the head of us (tomorrow, a month or a year ahead) but God can guarantee that He can bring us through and He is always there for us. Do you want to put your trust on God who knows everything of your life?

Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet
Reff: Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path (2x)

When I feel afraid. Think I've lost my way
Still You're there right beside me
And nothing will I fearAs long as You are near
Please be near me to the end

Back to Reff.

Now I will not forget Your love for me and yet
My heart forever is wandering
Please be my guide and hold me to Your side
And I will love You to the end

Back to Reff.

Things that last forever

Is there anything that last forever?

In April 26, 2010 the freeway between Taipei and KeeLung collapsed which killed quite numbers of people. See Youtube. I was there for holiday just two weeks before the incident. How fortunate I was! How about those who died and left behind the loved ones?

We can’t control thing to happen because we are not God, but have you ever thought what thing will last for you forever even after you died? Nothing?!

I learnt from BSF, there are three things that last forever: God Himself, God's words and Salvation (eternal life). Have you got those things?
