You Are My Delight

Stressful and troubled. We got no one to turn to. Maybe we have our best friends, spouse or family members in between. But, I have to admit as well, that sometimes they have other important things to do as well and can’t be with us. Maybe when your child is sick, your wife is on a business trip. Or it’s the other way, when you really need your husband to take care of his mother who’s in hospital but he’s not in town. Many other examples can describe this thing. The only one that can come to our rescue is God. So, let’s put our hope in God. Knowing that He is able to plan everything best for us. You are my delight! (-fon-)

Trouble and distress have come upon me,
but your commands are my delight

--- Psalm 119:143

Becoming Wiser

At one point of our life, we might found that we made a very stupid mistake and yet when that thing occurred we thought that we’ve done the right thing. It’s natural, we’re only human. But if only we want to become wiser, we need to seek for advice. From our trustworthy friends and family, from our spiritual mentor and most of all from God. Hopefully, we’ll become wiser and wiser in each day of our life. (-fon-)

The way of a fool seems right to him,
but a wise man listens to advice.

--- Proverbs 12:15

Rest for Your Souls

When your body is tired, all you want to do is take a good rest. Take a good nap or sleep. That’s when your entire physical strength will be back to the normal condition.

Then, how about the soul? Lots of people are restless. Many sleepless nights and insomnia. Depressed, frustrated, stressed out. In anguish, in anger, in deep vengeance. Bitterness and hurtfulness. All in one. Make us very tired and in heavy burden.

As your body needs a rest, the same thing would apply to your soul. The best way to rest your soul is in Jesus. He cares about the people who are weary and burdened. And He promised to give us a rest. Take a good rest of soul in Him!

(-fon-)

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

--- Matthew 11:28-29
