Proverbs 20:22 (NLT) Don’t say, “I will get even for this wrong.” Wait for the Lord to handle the matter. God probably knows that this phrase has a magnet for the brain: “I will get even for this wrong”. Thank You Lord for the reminder to wait upon You. And thank You that with this…
Waiting
Dear God, I am reminded of Your past abounding faithfulness in my life, Your holiness, Your unchanging love. There are hovering questions in my mind why one of the beloved pastors got a tumor and close call on his life or why the godly wife and mother, Ting, had to die of lupus when they…

New Year
As greetings of “MERRY Christmas” and a “HAPPY New Year” are sown across the globe, not everyone is merry and happy. Because of the expectation that Christmas is a time of good cheer and all that is heartwarming, Christmas to some can be a poignant reminder of what is awry. Some may have lost a…

Hebrews 10:25 says “Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” Thank…
Wait for The God of Justice
What is justice? It is the quality of being fair and morally upright. When we experience injustice, it may feel like God has stepped out of His throne. But part of His unchangeable character is that He is THE God of Justice. When we doubt this, did you know that we weary Him? Malachi 2:17…
Who Am I?
Javert and Jean Valjean asked themselves the same question in Les Miserables.

Reinstatement
In the past year, I withdrew from responsibilities as a Small Group Leader for a number of reasons. I did not want to ask my questions to the Lord in the presence of others who may stumble by them. My questions multiplied like gremlins before I got the answers. I did not want to be…
