this world

pollution.

Walking down the street here in malaysia and you see people litter right infront of your eyes. Even a man walked out of a big church and just threw rubbish on the grass before getting into his car and drive off without a concern. We can be ignorant, we can be selfish, we can continue to live like how we always continued to live. BUT i can't. I make the decision daily to always learn, and to be better than the day before.

You know,...I really dislike how so many things out there that is popular is so bad for the mind. Like tv programs, and movies and even advertisment that do actually affect and shape us. They are so many that are usually high in sexual content, violent, some disgusting just making fun of things that are bad and turning it into something funny or a joke even though it is not. Most of the time its about the fallen world trying to fix it self, or sometimes making fun of their own insecurities as they don't believe there is a Saviour, hence carrying on with life just doing anything that they think can fill the emptiness. I always want to run away from it, but its not easy when you are living in this world. And its not the way to live living as a hermit close out of the world. God did ask us to be the light of the world. and i guess to do that, is to be different. To not accept things even as they are in front of you. Not to condemn or insult anyone. But to just , i guess when sometimes you don't know what to do. Pray.

The only channel i like to watch on the telly is actually the food channel !the afc channel that they have here in malaysia!. I love watching people cook and make art that uses their many senses to taste, smell, feel, design and make beautiful, delicious, meals to share and feed hungry people :)

Anyway, today i decided to read on samson.

And i realized God use so many barren women to give birth to great man of God!. Its pretty amazing. God always chooses to use the humble. Maybe when we are humbled we usually have learn something about character thru patience. Jacob and Rachel, Samsons mum, Sarah who bore Isaac. Those women also prayed fervently for a son, and dedicate they son to God knowing its a Gift from God. God really is good :)

You know, samson. God gave him a great Gift of Strength but then he kinda always misuse this gift God gave him. And he always fall into sexual temptation and is always seduced by evil women that use him for their purpose. Makes me realize that all God gives me is a gift that i should use it all to glorify Him all the time, always !

And you know what, there is always so many things of the world that is bombarded at me each day that are not comforting, that disturbs the peace in me, you read evil bad sad things that happen in the news each day, etc. ( i actually really dislike reading/ watching the news too) But dad & grandpa always has the news channel on when im back home.  But then i always always remind myself that God is good. That all i see is what people with their own interperation of what they see Sees with their own eyes. But God looks at things differently. Only he knows the truth and i should never need to worry nor let the things people tell me that are scary or sad or bad affect me but be always reminded  that God is a good God, that will give me peace in times of trouble, will be my confidence and my protector. As much bad stuff as i hear about things around me that could make me afraid. I don't want it to bind me in a spirit of fear.

These verses have been speaking to me..

Proverbs 3:26 

For the Lord will be your confidence,

And will keep your foot from being caught.

2 timothy 1:7

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

2 timothy 3:17 

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctorine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

2 timothy4:17,18

But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, so that the message might be preached fully through me, and that all the Gentiles might hear. Also I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work and preserve me for His heavenly kingdom. To Him be glory forever and ever. Amen!

I pray God, that your will be done. Sometimes its hard to even find words to put into prayer. Sometimes its even hard to ask for things. But somehow i'll just ask that i'll continue to trust You each day. That you'll always keep me and protect me as you have promised you will :) I have all the faith in the world that you will! Amen.
