Another food for thought

How can we avoid sin and temptations? The world and Satan and your old self will frequently provoke you and tempt you into sin. Many books say know God. Know God in terms of knowledge itself? nope. Many pastors and scholars have tons of book knowledge but still failed to know God.

That doesn't mean we should just give up reading the bible. That is part of the process of knowing God. It is not enough however. We need to meditate on it day and night. How much time do we spend meditating on God's words. People will say that they just have no time in these troubling and busy time. That is the irony of things. All the more we are to seek God and His power, majesty and His grace and mercy. How foolish are those who failed to do this. Sadly, i frequently also fall into this trap. God have mercy on me and my friends.

These two actions are still not enough. Actions and thoughts matter too. May be we should ask each other. What actions have we done that are in line with God's words and what are not. What about our thoughts? It is usually the case that we will do what our minds are thinking about.

Next comes prayer. We probably can spend two hours on tv, books, anime, manga, computer games, hanging out with friends but can only spend 3 mins or 30 seconds on prayer. What sad state we are in. With all the signs of revelations around us keep reminding that God's second coming is always one second nearer and here we are still "partying" about. really sad

As the day of the Lord become nearer, the heart of His believers will also become colder and less on fire. However, I believe that there will be a core group who will still burn with passion in Him and still work hard in His strength as we struggle in this passing world. Lets pray that we are in this core group and that this group will get bigger and bigger.

God be glorified in our everyday life.
To God Be the Glory

food for thought from QT

Do not focus on what we don't have but rather what is given to us.... Covetness ultimately make us stumble and sin while gratefulness in Him will help us walk in His righteous ways....

To God Be the Glory.... May I be satisfied in God for ever....
