God's faithfulness to those who are faithful to Him

Read about Daniel and the lion's den today. It is in Daniel 6:1-28, XD i shared it very quickly early in the morning today (hehe sorry ya). It wrote about how Daniel continue to be faithful to God, and continue to pray to God even when he isn't allowed to. King Dairus then wrote another law to prove that God is great and that everyone must tremble and fear before Daniel's God.

Daniel 6:25-27

25 Then king Darius wrote unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you.
26 I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living God, and stedfast for ever, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end.
27 He delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.

Feel very encouraged while reading this verses in the scriptures.

It was a blessed night last night, it has been a long time since my youngest sister and I, sing through the songs of Mr. Donut man. Reminding us about how old we've grown out of childhood. Those childhood memories in the car while travelling with the cassette played in the car while travelling to granma's and to KL, and it lasted through this many years. We still remember the tune by heart. Just some of those songs...we cant remember the exact words. Donut man has catchy tune.

who i would love to thank God for is to my dad. He is the one who bought those cassette for us to listen. We had fun looking at those videos that I downloaded from youtube yesterday. The last time we listened to them was when it was still in audio. Last night, it was a lovely time, because, finally our audio times turn out to be in picture and in video form. It was nice to have a visual. and also the lyrics in some of the songs.
"Grow, grow God makes things grow".
"The sower",
" Noah bring the animals to a floating zoo" . We see this songs in action last night.

I was great to have memories like this. I'm happy that i have those memories, i treasure very much until now.

Thank God for fruitful childhood memories that have lasted. =)

Today finally started reading the emmaus booklet and did the little test after each chapter. I'm doing the book " the woman who pleases God" First chapter, is basically showing me the roles of both man and woman in the eyes of God. Although it may be different, in God's eyes man & woman are still equal in God's eyes. Just that there is always someone that needs to take the lead. =) This i'm very certain all the time in my life. It is good encouragement for me and Thank God for that reminder from scriptures.

Meditating on Daniel 4:19-37

This is the second dream King Nebuchanezzar had from God. The first one was written of in Daniel chapter  2. Dream about the image of gold, bronze,clay and iron. Daniel seek God about the dream and God answered to his plea, God gave Daniel the answer to the dream to interpret it for the king.

(1) In this second dream of King Nebuchanezzar, in Daniel 4 talks about the tree that is planted so mighty and so beautiful.  Stood so strong  and could be seen by all people. It was fruitful. 

 Daniel 4:10-12

 ¹⁰Thus were the visions of mine head in my bed; I saw, and behold a tree in the midst of the earth, and the height thereof was great.

 ¹¹The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to the end of all the earth:

 ¹²The leaves thereof were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was meat for all: the beasts of the field had shadow under it, and the fowls of the heaven dwelt in the boughs thereof, and all flesh was fed of it.

and the interpretation is stated in Daniel 4:22

²²It is thou, O king, that art grown and become strong: for thy greatness is grown, and reacheth unto heaven, and thy dominion to the end of the earth.

(2) Daniel 4:13-15. Talks about the same tree destroyed remaining only the tree stump.

 ¹³I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and, behold, a watcher and an holy one came down from heaven;

 ¹⁴He cried aloud, and said thus, Hew down the tree, and cut off his branches, shake off his leaves, and scatter his fruit: let the beasts get away from under it, and the fowls from his branches:

 ¹⁵Nevertheless leave the stump of his roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts in the grass of the earth:

the interpretation of this part of the dream is actually Daniel 4:24-26

 ²⁴This is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree of the most High, which is come upon my lord the king:

 ²⁵That they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and they shall wet thee with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.

 ²⁶And whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the tree roots; thy kingdom shall be sure unto thee, after that thou shalt have known that the heavens do rules.

the king have to change his ways and turn to God.

(3)  King Nebuchanezzar want to achieve great things (which is a pride in him) (v.30)

³⁰The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty?

(4) God warned the king to turn away from Arrogance & do wicked things & oppress people. (v.27)

²⁷Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by shewing mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity.

(5) King's pride brought low (v.32&33) 

 ³²And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.

 ³³The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles' feathers, and his nails like birds' claws.

(6) His was stripped off from his power, authority & dignity & no more kingdom for him. (v.31)

 ³¹While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Do we take God's warning against pride lightly? we must acknowledge God in all our accomplishments. 

³⁷Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.

May we walk humbly before God & man. =) Take some time to meditate this scripture passage. God blessings be upon those who read this =)

a little girl's stay over

XD it started not so well but i thank God it ended well before she left.
I'm thankful that yesterday i could see her laughing like any other girls that I've seen each time. I'm glad and thankful that i've tried to let her know about jesus.
I prayerfully hope that she'll continue be reminded about God's love and jesus love for her.
So that she'll feel that her love is complete =).

The 6 year old were with us since last Friday, until today. Seems intially she is a little mission impossible to me. I remembered on Sunday was very stern with her, she changed a lot, through prayers that we have from concern family members and friends.

Happy that she looked very attentive and cheerful yesterday. She could grasps and understand things that are taught easily. =) I'm happy for her. I bring her out on an adventure yesterday. I bring her to the post office.

We saw a postman on the road sending letters to the shops near to my shop. We greeted the postman letting him know that just wanted the little girl know who a postman is. We walked towards the post office, i try to explain to her, this is the post office. Then her little tiny hand just hold unto my big palms, as we crossed the road. That night we while doing the activity book, we were suprised to see an activity just in time for her. It was about the post office.

She say " jie jie, look! post office". I was like "wow". I was so suprised, i felt that how God has been working in my life. It was as if God helping Madeline in our learning together. =)

After the post office i bring her to the pet shop near by. She was so afraid of the animals. I don't really know about her being afraid of animals until yesterday. I just told her not to be afraid of them. She hold my hands tightly. And i just bring her out of the pet shop through another door.


We sang two very very meaningful songs together that night

if you're black or if you're white or if you're in between,
God loves you.

If you're tall or if you're small or if you're fat or lean,
God loves you.

He loves you when you're happy, He loves you when you're sad,
He loves you when you're very good and when you're very bad,
No matter what you look like,
No matter what you do,
God loves you, Halleluyah
God loves you.

and the song Jesus Loves Me. =)

I then told her abt Jesus. And let her know that Jesus Loves her very very much. and He is very powerful. I thank God that I'm just in time to share with her about jesus before she left. Thank God for the opportunity.

I Just Keep Trusting My Lord

by Hohn W. Peterson

I just keep trusting my Lord as I walk a long
I just keep trusting my Lord and He gives a song
Though the storm clouds darken the sky o'er the heav'nly trail
I just keep trusting my Lord, He will never fail
He's a faithful friend, such a faithful friend
I can count on Him to the very end
Though the storm clouds darken the sky o'er the heav'nly trail
I just keep trusting my Lord, He will never fail

I just keep trusting my Lord on the narrow way
I just keep trusting my Lord as He leads each day
Though the road is weary at times and I'm sad and blue
I just keep trusting my Lord, He will se me through
He's a faithful guide, such a faithful guide
He is always there walking by my side
Though the road is weary at times and I'm sad and blue
I just keep trusting my Lord, He will se me through

____________________________________________________________________

this song came into my mind when i felt very discourage this week. Why do i need to go through sadness, dissapointment in faith and neglecting being faithful to God and failing Him. But i believe God is continually reminding me that i have to continue to put trust in Him. =) Hope this song encourage fellow bro and sisters in christ.

Although the storm clouds darken the sky, I'll keep trusting.

Living Only for Him and Only He knows my life

It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.

I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. Galatians 2:20 (New King James Version)


Living Only for Him and Only He knows my life

So the wind blows....Praying Romans 12:21 in the heart.

Just a little waves few days back. Waves that God allowed in my life. To most people, the little waves that i go through might be just normal, neutral and everyone in particular will go through.
I do not know why everytime when that particular of waves come into my life, I still fail God and sinned. That makes me feel terrible, seems as if like everything dint comes the way it is. And i cant stop thinking about the cut i had from the wave.

Waves that I wouldnt want to happen but have occured to prove how unperfect my living standard is. I often realise where I'm weak at, I try not to stumble but i still do. Sometimes feeling guilty each time i stumble.

Then again, I felt very encouraged about today's devotion and reading. I wanted to share is about no matter how much we fail God in life challenges, God is ready to continue to give grace to us to our imperfections as long as we're willing to put faith unto Him. Lean unto His promises each day.

Romans 4:4&5

"Now when a man works, his wages are not credited to him as a gift, but as an obligation. However, to the man who does not work but trusts God who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness".


we did nothing and can do nothing to deserve it. It is by God's grace, it is His gift. In the Asian Reflections it said that "all we need to do is to trust in the God who promised it to us". In my mind i sing to Him, thank you father God.
