Weekend

This weekend, had a visit from a special friend, my dear friend Esther. At first thought I did question why now, since i am gonna have exams and all. But after today, I ama glad she came. The time we spent together helped me to pick back up the pieces in life somehow it was put back together. I am more motivated to serve the Lord in all that I do right now .. Bt anyhow, here like most blogs do is an entry on our weekend....

Saturday, went down to bugis, but don;t have the pics though as I was reluctant to do so. Dear, send to me the pics k ..

Here I am Lord and I'm drowning
In the sea of forgetfulness
Hold by the chains of yesterday

I know you have cast my sin out far
As far as the east is from the west

Now help me to fight this war
Let your truth show me
And help me to live for God

being different from the world
Send your spirit to convict my heart
of your words and the words i typed here

Livin is inded meaningless without you

But how oh how do i come back
To you....

Rainy Days and Thursdays

Well woke up early today... and found a pleasant gush of cold wind enfolding over me...

It is raining...

Decided to take a shower and then breakfast. thats when i saw the clock coming close to 9... I thought my class was at 9 but when I cheonged back to my room, I found out it was 10 :)

But beyond that, I decided to switch some nice "christian" music.. the term is in inverted as some people loath the use of the term saying that it does not differ.

Anyways... listening to that music in my semi dark room, on a rainy day.... Ah this is a good start to a day.. leaving me with the chill feeling.. Its like the song rainy days and mondays always leave me.. but not down but hungry for more of God... Perhaps I am a plant?

Enough of gibberish for the day, with that I shall end with this...

Treasure of the day and of the night
Unfold in time to our human eyes
The precious blood of Jesus Christ
Shed on the cross for us

What measure of sacrifice is this
To where does His power end
Nothing can balance the scale with Him
Even in the measure of Love as He is Love

So let these feet walk
Let these lips speak
Of the Lord who seeks
And saves us all... By His Grace, Jesus

An amazing illustration from the bible

In Leviticus 6 vs 8-13, the topic about the burnt offering was brought forward by the Lord to Moses for Aaron. Haha long line of command. But there is an amazing illustration in it about life to me.

It start by saying the burnt offering shall be on the altar all night until the morning and the fire shall be kept burning on it.
Then it goes on to say that the priest putting on his linen garment and undergarment shall take up the ashes and put them beside the altar. Then changing into another garment he shall take it outside the camp to a clean place. The fire on the altar shall be kept burning, it must no go out.
The priest shall burn wood on it every morning and shall arrange the burnt offering on it and shall burn on it the fat of the peace offerings. And once again the fire on the altar shall be kept burning. It must not go out.

Three things stood out to me. If my life was to be a sacrifice to the Lord then I need to remain on the altar of His presence. The burning fire of the spirit which in scriptures it said do not put the spirit's fire out and do not treat prophecies with contempt . Staying in the spirit's fire refines and produce ashes, the parts of life which is to be shed. To me those click with everything including the past, hurts, dissapointments and even mistakes. And the priest will carry it out. The priest represents to me Jesus. And from the burnt offering, from the offering becomes 2 things an aroma pleasing with the Lord from the fat and the ashes the rest of it.

So let me be an aroma pleasing to the, let the parts of my life be refined and the ashes to be taken out. Let my life be full of your spirit's flame for the people and Your will.


On a side note, I miss my dear so so much and can't wait for the time to travel.

p/s: comment on the illustrations... may not be accurate as I did no research but this is what I sensed.
