Daily reflection---Proverbs

I read Proverbs chp 16 today and God has spoken to me through many verses.

"Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed."
"In his heart a man plans his course but the Lord determines his steps"
God seemed distant these days. Of course I know that the relationship with God is not based on feelings, but it's still hard to keep "close" to God if I don't feel "closeness". These two verses reminded me the faithfulness and grace of God.
Last year, when I went through the valley of tears, God gave me these two verses. When I had such a little faith, it was(is) God that made my faith grow. When there was no one I can share and pray with, it was(is) God that accompanied me through the dark path of loneliness.
It's always good to recall how amazing God's grace is, which is one of the sources of strength to continue the journey.


"The Lord detests all the proud of heart. Be sure of this: They will not go unpunished."
"Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall"
God sees pride as an extremely serious problem. And pride is an old enemy whom I've always been fighting with.
Sometimes I'm proud unconsciously. This Sun when Pastor asked me how's the relationship with my parents, I told him that my mom always asked me what to do with my bro,etc. Then Pastor said,"So it's more like you are discipling you mom??".
This reminded me the pattern I used to get along with my parents. With my mom, I usually share my thoughts and opinions, but sometimes I lost my respect and have bad attitudes towards her. The underlying reason is the pride in my heart!
This is the prob I've been changing and still need more changes!

pls pray for us

Recently there have been many attacks on my cell group.

Keep us in your prayers if you are a christian.

Last "intense" week

My priority has been distorted last week. And I was SOOO ashamed in front of God since I think I've let Him down. Yeah and that reminded me what Pastor has said,"Many ppl think God always frowns on them but atually He always smiles on us." This is me. But even though I "know" God always loves me and knows me so well, somehow I still felt sooooo ashamed.

I am so sorry Lord......SOOOOOO sorry!!

Sometimes I forget the price you've paid and the sacrifice you've made.

I've broken so many promises I've made. I hate myself like that---having ups and downs in the relationship with God. Why can't I only have deeper and more intimate relationship?? Why can't I hold God tightly ALWAYS??
------becos I'm sinner and I'm so weak. That's why I'm so surprised that God can even fulfill His will through such imperfect human beings. So can God still use me?? Of course!! I'll boast my weakness!
