God's grace is enough for all of us, and as long as we are willing, He will lead us the way.
BSF (Bible Study Fellowship) became a commitment every Monday evening along with a bunch of other ministries. Studying God's Word had never felt so important and it is a good reminder for me that we put God ahead of other things.
From Sunday school yesterday I learnt quite a bit about how Bible describes us as humans, as well as our sinful nature. We have all been hit by sinful things to an extent. I know I have. There are certain things which stumble us and after all, we are humans and we are helpless at times.
Yet, Bible is a good guide on how we should live in God's way because it shows us how we can build a relationship with God, and this may involve standing for God at times, loving enemies, or overcome difficult challenges. Tonight's sermon highlighted the power of the Holy Spirit. We can't do anything for God's kingdom without the Holy Spirit. Stephen in Acts was full of the Holy Spirit before he was stoned. He was peaceful and saw Jesus sitting in the right hand of God.
I praise God and thank God for today, and that this kingdom be continually glorified. Amen!

You are in full view of the Lord
Proverbs 5:21
"For a man's ways are in full view of the Lord, and he examines all his paths."
箴 言 5:21
"因 為 人 所 行 的 道 、 都 在 耶 和 華 眼 前 ． 他 也 修 平 人 一 切 的 路 。"
the Lord knows too well of man's ways, but He gives us wisdom so we know God's ways is the way to go.

Be blessed with wisdom
Proverbs 3:13-14
"Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gains understanding, for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold."
箴 言 3:13-14
"得 智 慧 、 得 聰 明 的 、 這 人 便 為 有 福 。 因 為 得 智 慧 勝 過 得 銀 子 、 其 利 益 強 如 精 金 ．"
Wisdom is the path of a rich life in God. Silver and gold are temporary things and they do not last forever. Proverbs 3:5-6 (which I posted mid last year) were 2 valuable verses to memorise. Trusting in the Lord and acknowledging Him will reap benefits by making your paths straight.

Lord gives wisdom
Proverbs 2:6-8
"For the Lord gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. He holds victory in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless, for he guards the course of the just and protects the way of his faithful ones."
箴 言 2:6-8
"因 為 耶 和 華 賜 人 智 慧 ． 知 識 和 聰 明 都 由 他 口 而 出 ． 他 給 正 直 人 存 留 真 智 慧 、 給 行 為 純 正 的 人 作 盾 牌 ． 為 要 保 守 公 平 人 的 路 、 護 庇 虔 敬 人 的 道 ．"
God's wisdom is so great because it guides us on how to walk in a righteous path. In order to do that, we need to acknowledge God is righteous and will help us in times of need, even at times when we don't think He is helping. Amen!

Fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge
Proverbs 1:7
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline."
箴 言 1:7
"敬 畏 耶 和 華 是 知 識 的 開 端 ． 愚 妄 人 藐 視 智 慧 和 訓 誨 。"
I quite like this verse, which kind of relates to the verse introduced in Daily Hope - which is about keeping in step with the Spirit. In order to keep in step with the Spirit, we need to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit, which is a great challenge for us Christians.
Let 2012 be the beginning of knowledge and God is loving enough for us to start walking with Him when we are willing!

Put on the new self
Ephesians 4:22-24
"You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness."
以 弗 所 書 4:22-24
"就 要 脫 去 你 們 從 前 行 為 上 的 舊 人 ． 這 舊 人 是 因 私 慾 的 迷 惑 、 漸 漸 變 壞 的 ． 又 要 將 你 們 的 心 志 改 換 一 新 ． 並 且 穿 上 新 人 ． 這 新 人 是 照 著 神 的 形 像 造 的 、 有 真 理 的 仁 義 、 和 聖 潔 。"
Happy new year to all who are reading this as we begin 2012!
I really like these 3 verses, and it is a good reminder for all of us. We need to be used by God and in order to do that, we need to put on our new self, which is ideally resembling God's image.
What is the attitude of our minds right now? Thankful? Or dissatisfied about what God hasn't given you yet?
