Indeed, God is Good! Always!
I believe nothing is coincidence, all are planned by our almighty God.
Our church brother, Ah Seng met his long lost friend, Lawrence, in a coffee shop one day. He brought them to the church on Sunday for revival service. Upon speaking with Lawrence's wife, Cherie, she found her long lost friend too! - in our church!!
My Goodness! I could not contain my joy! Immediately, I shared this after the service. How things were wonderfully made by God!
I reflected on Saturday's night, Pastor Amos's message:- There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven - Eccl 3:1. This incident is one of the time He has made.
This verse made me ponder. Indeed, in life, there are so many stages we need to go through - all the ups and downs, laughters and tears. Just like what are written in the following verses from 2-8. A time for everything. Indeed! There are so many WHYs in our lives, but I am sure Jesus has all the answers already.
I have learnt something new during the Saturday's service - The Eagle. It is a large strong bird on earth. However, it has its own enemies too - the condors. They attack eagles in groups. By flying towards the sun, these eagles able to fend the condors off. This is because the blaze from the sun will blind the condors' eyes. While the eagles are focusing on the sun in troubled times, it makes me think where is my focus when I am in trials?
Dear Lord,
Help me to focus on you when I am in trials. Help me to be strong, take heart and wait for You. For I trust You will surely make all things beautiful in Your time. Amen.

Tiny Purple Morning Glories
Every day, I walk to the MRT Station.
Along the way, there are these grass patches. This morning, these grass patches are full of tiny little purple morning glories. I see these flowers every day, but not as many as today, These clusters of flowers are so beautiful. Their little purple petals are wide open, like hands anticipating something from Heaven. i wish i can stop for a while and smell them.
It must be the storms that we have for past couple of days, that given these plants a zest of life and bloom abundantly with these tiny ones. This bring me to the thought of our Lord, Jesus, indeed, every morning, His Mercy and Grace is anew for us to start of with our day.
No matter what kind of pain we are going through now, or hurts in the past, or even regrets that we have, we can leave them at the Lord's feet and start life a new.... like storms in our lives, surely there will be a rainbow behind each one.
I still strongly believe that God himself can, and surely may choose, in HIs mercy, to put asunder what men and women in their foolishness have only thought to put together. When repentence is real and forgiveness has been given by the Lord, He may also grant HIs grace for new beginnings ..
Indeed, Praise the Lord for all the things He has done in our lives.
1st Peter 5:10-11 - And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will Himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. To HIM be the power for ever and ever. Amen
