Sometimes, somebody got to wake me up!!

Psalms 46:10-11
[10] Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
[11] The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

And sometimes, I just got to be still and listen to God.. Thank God for the people He had placed in my life. Especially in my recent years, just this morning, Sis Charissa reminded me to go see doc (and by Jas, Shelia and Rachel), and I started to rant a bit to her. AS in, I know I have to rely on God, i guess my prob is, I still hanging on to it..

CAn you see the picture here?

I, am handing my problems to God in (in my imagination) a mega big envelop, God says let Me take care of you, and I said ok, and passes Him the envelope, BUT, im still hanging on to it.. Hmm, so much for letting go ya..

Ahhhh.. No wonder my heart and brain cannot take it.. I thought the symptoms were of stroke, xiao mei told me its heart attack. I thought, ok what, still can do my stuff.. Stroke more jia lat... So if its really heart attack, there'll be two things i will definately do. First, QUIT MY JOB!!! and second, NO MORE SNACK!!! ahhh.. Second one seemed more impossible than the first, but then again "Is there anything too difficult for the Lord?"

Anyway, Sis Charissa reminded me to "be still and know that He is God" then I am like *BISH* in the face, oh ya hor... Aiyaaaaaaaaaa... Me ar, *slaps myself*..

And Pastor preached a short but powerful message yesterday, true and false wisdom. Taken from James 3:13-18

[13] Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
[14] But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
[15] This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
[16] For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
[17] But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
[18] And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

Meekness is not weakness (vs13). Meekness simply means strength under control, and true wisdom accompanies meekness, like Jesus. At the end of the exhaltation, pastor asked, What kind of wisdom do I have? Well, I should be earnestly working at it, seeking God and with it, i could influence others.

K, i dont know if anyone understands what i said. But anyhow, its good to always do spiritual check ups.. and i DO need a physical one. hur hur.. Ahh, God's good and mightily cool! :)
