The psalmist

I'm currently reading "Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire" by Jim Cymbala. Its my dad's book & he has it for many years. Many times when I come across the book, there's this curiosity within me to pick up the book & have a read. But I kept holding it off coz' seriously...I have too many books, unread books that is. the book..... SO why now? Well, lately I've been going through a spiritual rut in my life. I find that I am in a dire need to listen to God. Know His 'now' move. I was feeling so helpless, aimless...trying so hard to get back the groove with God. & that's how I got into reading this book. I gathered much insight reading Jim's book. What strikes me is that to see breakthrough in our life & in the church is really simple. Get to our knees & pray! Seek God in prayer.

Hear ye, hear ye..to the people out there, who are living in a family unit..be it you're a husband/wife or child...how can we live a peaceful & joyful life as a family? Here's some tip..it doesn't require much really.... If one can't contribute financially, or have a smaller income in the home, help in the household can be in the form of cleaning or cooking...if you're the guy, mow the lawn, wash the car, clean the drive way & drains, fix the hardware stuffs...can't expect the girls to do these eh..be a gentleman..don't want to loose the gentleman out there..Remember, when we are in a family unit, we all have to contribute to the household.

I remembered my pastor sharing to us that there is a call for the youths to rise up & answer the call of the Daniel generation. A generation that will stand firm & dare to say what they have said back then: "But even if He does not (deliver them from the fiery furnace), we want you to know, o king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up." We are living in such times that the Christian faith would be challenged. Even our daily crisis & challenges in life would ultimately challenge us, & I personally am facing them bouts! I am shaken! By the slow business, by the unpaid bills & calls of creditors..I am shaken..Shaken by the news of fellow brethren who has lost their jobs. Some have to turn to downsizing their business. Some have yet to obtain employment even after graduating. I am shaken! Truly shaken..I kid you not. Oh dear God...it is my prayer that we be like Daniel & his 3 buddies. We want to stay faithful,
