Lion Of Judah / 猶大的獅子

Lion Of Judah / 猶大的獅子 - Isaiah 31:1-5

“will not be afraid of their voice nor be disturbed by their noise”
「總不因他們的聲音驚惶，也不因他們的喧嘩縮伏」

a pilot that lost direction? where are you heading?
who is REALLY in control? are you being deceived by others?
Because God is in control, we have nothing to fear.

He...

Saw Eva's msn message line today, so I Google it. It's a song name "He" by Richard Mullan & Jack Richards.

Here are the lyrics; He can turn the tides and calm the angry sea
He alone decides who writes a symphony
He lights every star that makes our darkness bright
He keeps watch all through each long and lonely night
He still finds the time to hear a child's first prayer
Saint or sinner call and always find Him there
And though it makes Him sad to see the way we live
He'll always say, "I forgive".

He can grant a wish or make a dream come true.
He can paint the clouds and turn the grey to blue.
He alone knows where to find the rainbow's end.
He alone can see what lies beyond the bend.
He can touch a tree and turn the leaves to gold
He knows every lie that you and I have told
Though it makes him sad to see the way we live
He'll always say, "I forgive".

Do you fear?

“Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is kept safe.”- Proverbs 29:25

So how faithful are you, that you can trust in Him with everything and without any fear? That's easier said than done.

Expectation?

It's been a while since I last wrote a post. I have been doing my daily devotion, but just not as dedicated writing notes about them. But today's daily bread entry gave me a new perspective of Matthew 7:7-11.

Prayer without expectancy is unbelief in disguise. - Do you agree?

The Love of God

So to follow yesterday's thought... instead of just romantic kind of love, how about other kinds of love. Recently RBC ministries sent me a mailing about "The Love of God" by Oswald Chambers. So I did a little search on RBC, and came across this article, way back from Aug 1st, 2007.

His love...

I don't read daily bread everyday, because sometime for the day I got a question and I prayed, and I will be looking up bible verse by topical on Google instead. Today went a little bit backward to see what I missed... and saw 8/31's lesson.

God is love - 1 John 4:8

serving the Lord as a family unit

Today was some catch-up work on my "book of love". I'm a little bit behind on it... sorry honey~. I was on FB and thinking about Bryan and Patty, and just happened to come across Patty's blog entry. I was encouraged from it.

至 於 我 和 我 家 ， 我 們 必 定 事 奉 耶 和 華 。 - 約 書 亞 記 24章 15節

Can I be a good dad?

Today I haven't had a chance to do a full fledge devotion yet. So I looked at daily bread as well as daily verse on biblegateway. The message on daily verse is more meaningful to me, closer to my heart.

Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it. - Proverbs 22:6

God, please lead my path, guide me. Teach me to be a good father to Season, to nurture her grow up in Christ.

Amen.
