I was so distressed coz I haven't even started to write the CONNECT journal (Jeremiah). This process has been delayed for so many times due to various activities, responsibilities and even issues in my life.Last nite I planned to sleep only for 2 hrs so that I could at least start it. Today I supposed to be the lab demonstrator to replace Sridhar.Praise God, that this morning Sridhar let me know

Today, I sense God's helping hand in guiding me throughout the day. Psalm 37 (NKJV) 23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD...Heb 10 (NLT)38 And my righteous ones will live by faith.It seems that God is ordering my steps. Like the Bible says that God orders/guides the steps a good/righteous man. As usual, I commit my day to God, because often I wonder whether I can make it to finish

>> Timeless Principles:v11:God graces individuals differently, therefore we shouldn't simply make generalisation. Each person should act according to personal conviction and not simply follow blindly. >> Specific Words:v11:I shouldn't judge and compare people, because everyone has different level of faith according to God's grace. Q1:God seeks for lasting commitment between married couple (v6).Q2

>> Timeless Principles:v7:Jesus warns the people who cause other people to sin strongly. The devil is already at work in tempting us to sin, let's not cause additional temptation to others.>> Specific Words:v7:I need to be careful that my life or action doesn't tempt people to sin.Q1:- It's better to lose one part of our body (v8-9) that causes us to sin, rather than go into hell.- Sin can

>> Timeless Principles:v4:Jesus said that in order to be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven, we need to humbe ourselves to learn and be like little children (childlike). God would like us to be childlike, because children are trusting by nature, humble since they are weak and dependent and have sincere hearts.>> Specific Words:v4:God wants me to develop this childlike faith & characteristics

>> Timeless Principles:v20:Jesus acted instead of reacted. He flowed with God fully according to His timing. No matter what situation He might be in (e.g. danger - v14), He trusted God's leading. We need to grow in our faith in God, so that we can still have peace in a turbulent situation, rather than get anxious.>> Specific Words:v20: I need to grow in my trust in God, so that I can act rather

>> Timeless Principles:v39:Jesus said that the true meaning of life will be found when we give our lives up for Him. Focusing only on earthly living may cause us to miss God's best plan for our lives. Not only that, many people have realised (sadly, often it's only happen when they're on their death bed) that the earthly rewards only satisfy them temporary, the more they have it, the more empty

>> Timeless Principles:v11:Jesus asked the disciples to search for a "worthy" person and stayed with him. I believe the "worthy" person simply means somebody who is willing to be used by God for His purpose. Criterias of a "worthy" person are FAT (Faithful, Available, Teachable).>> Specific Words:v11:I'm inspired to be a "worthy" person too. There is no greater privilege than to be used by the

>> Timeless Principles:v24:Jesus knew that He's able to raise the child to life again. He acted as if the child was already healed and alive. Our faith is expressed through our actions. For example, we need to act as if our prayers are already answered, if we have faith that God answers our prayers.>> Specific Words:v24:I need to act according to God's Words as an expression of my faith on His

>> Timeless Principles: v17: Jesus would like us to fast secretly before God with a pure motivation, rather than as a show off. It's also applicable generally when we serve God. We don't need to show other ppl that we serve God very hard, instead we need to have a pure motivation (love God & love ppl) and put a very joyful face. >> Specific Words: v17: I should not show a very tired face when I

>> Timeless Principles: v1: God rewards acts/deeds done in secret. If our motives are pure, we won't mind if people don't notice our actions at all.>> Specific Words: v1: I need to also focus on what I do in secret or when nobody sees, because it really shows whether I am truly God's disciple. To be consistent (not being a hypocrite), I need to be what I am whether people are around me or not. Q1

>> The StoryI found it difficult to serve God and do my PhD at the same time. I felt so much pressure inside. Then a thought just came, it means that I'm not good under pressure. In the job interview/resume, people usually say that they can perform well under pressure. It's what the employer look for anyway. So, how about me? Will there be anyone hiring me if I can't perform well under pressure?
