I will say to the prisoners, ‘Come out in freedom,’
and to those in darkness, ‘Come into the light.’
They will be my sheep, grazing in green pastures
and on hills that were previously bare.
They will neither hunger nor thirst.
The searing sun will not reach them anymore.
For the LORD in his mercy will lead them;
he will lead them beside cool waters.
~ Isaiah 49:9-10 (NLT)

0168. First Time For The Money


At beginning of this year, I gave out a frame to a colleague. My colleague asked me where to get the frame. When she knew it was made by me, she ordered a few from me. Based on my habit, I don't create exact the same one unless being request. So it took sometime to finish. I am a little proud of myself.

0167. The First Apartment I Loved

I saw an apartment I love in every way a month and half ago. I have some concerns and didn't go for it. First is about money. Second, it is the first apartment I visit in that area. The apartment was sold last week. Since I pray that wait for me if it is mine, so I didn't feel bad. On the other hand, I didn't have conclusion on the money side. So I think I am not that ready to purchase one. Seven more months till the end of year, loads of time to get one place for myself.

0166. Talk to man more? or to God more?

And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bare spices, and very much gold, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart. (1 King 10:2, KJV)

More talk to the Lord and less to man because it is a stupit, maybe dangerous, thing to tell others what is your heart. Talking too much to the people will have nothing to say to the Lord. Often the reason we are restless is that we avoid talking to the Lord. We take the risk and in worry, even into the deep hurt or hate.

What are the things we can tell the Lord?
1. Sadness, worry, distress, loniness, hovering between (maybe sing them)
2. Joy in my heart (through praise and thanksgiving)
3. Give my service to God
4. My plan and wishes

(ShiLin Zion Church, Class 18 of Old Testmony History, early 2009)
