A short one

Well I think i am losing touch in blogging. But anyways here is an attempt.

As I was buying my text books which are super "mahal" it crossed my mind to get a small little notebook for journaling down devotional thoughts. The last one i had was mixed with sermon notes and what nots. Anyway the reason why it suddenly crossed my mind was because I was convicted recently in my quiet time to be faithful in the little things that God has asked me to and also that God does not seek our sacrifices but seeks us to be obedient.

As I am writing this entry, an illustration of my latter point above comes to mind. As a young child, I once bought my dad this super big set of stationary, mostly consisting of pens. Trust me when i tell you that its a super big set as the amount of pens reached till like 20. Anyways , when i gave my dad, he was pleased. But then, not long later i did some things that disobeyed him. So as you can guess, he was displeased and sad. Even after the gift which as a young child the money was out of my small little allowance, therefore the sacrifice is great lor.

So that applies to our Father in heaven. In 1st Samuel 15:22 it says this

Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices
as much as in obeying the voice of the LORD ?
To obey is better than sacrifice,
and to heed is better than the fat of rams.

To some, this may seems like a cold God. But the truth is that if we obey, the sacrifices will come along by itself and better still not out of compulsion but in love.

That aside, first lecture today. Sociology.. Well I have a tonnes of reading to do and get done. This sem is the sem where i need to get almost perfect score to pull my cap back up. so shan't spent time here.. its devotion then study .. : )
