PRAISE AND EXPERIENCE GOD

Won't let this day pass without giving praises to my Sovereign Lord! Love talking about "GOD" things you see. It's a good encouragement for me. Honestly, there are many things lined up for me to do today but the Lord must condition my mind and body before i could tackle those tasks. Pondered this morning what bright ideas from the Lord will i learn today. Sure enough, as always, the Lord helps you when you ask. Come to think of it, there's this phrase that is commonly used in the work place, "ask and you shall receive!". Whoa....just got an idea! That's a good avenue to bring up the bible verse in Matthew 7:7. Better yet, let's use the whole word "ask". (Acronym) A-s-k (Matthew 7:7-8, NIV) says..."Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks find; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened....
You know God never makes a promise that He will not keep. Therefore, the bottom line is...YOU CAN COUNT ON GOD ALL THE TIME! Okay... with this in mind, i can joyfully say i am covered all the time and even until eternity. I am always covered because of the reason for the season...JESUS! What peace can bring the WORD OF GOD into our lives! Verily, verily! :)
my background: growing up in a family of nine children (i am the youngest!:) is quite an
adventure. you tend to get your ways in some ways and at times being put under a microscope by your family members. during my childhood years i was so used in receiving stuff everytime i asked. so glad to say that the Lord had purposely let me experience that during that time in preparation of how i should be living my life now- living a life of contentment and not obsessed with material stuff which are so temporal. and yes, now i know that we are all under construction...each one of us. and the Lord is changing and molding us every day to be like His son Jesus Christ. the most interesting part is that we make mistakes all the time because we are not perfect except of course for the Sovereign Father and Lord Jesus. And it is very exciting because the Triune God (GOD THE FATHER, GOD THE SON, GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT) is readily available to help us. It's an adventure you will joyfully and abundantly experience in this lifetime. Knowing the Triune God is a lifetime investment that most people are still blinded of, either because nobody has ever introduce the gospel to them or to some people they're just too rebellious or too stubborn to open up the doors of their hearts (which is the soil in which Christ is welcomed and worshiped).

There's a beautiful garden of fellowship sweet,
Where our prayers plant the seeds of reward;
And if there we will frequently make our retreat,
We shall gather rich store from the Lord! --Bosch

Matthew 25:21 (NIV) says..."Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things...
