20 Hours

I’ve been up since 6:30 AM of yesterday and as of the writing of this blog, it’s already almost 2AM of the next day. To end a very long day, I look back on the things that happened for the past 20 hours, and pondering on each of the activities that happened, I can’t help to thank God for the people I had fellowships with throughout the day. In between those fellowships, I learned something and encouraged more as I journey onto life.

Here are some of the lessons I learned and pondered on:

• Amidst all what’s happening around you, always look onto God and always bear in mind that whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters. (Colossians 3:23)
• Whenever you feel like you are going the wrong way or it feels like you feel like stuck at the moment, there’s one person ready to listen to you and He can be reachable 24/7, God. You just need to say a little prayer, and trust in Him and He will make your paths straight (Proverbs 3:5-6).
• Treat every challenge as a stepping stone to improve and make yourself better. You may be entering a new season in your life, but one thing is for sure, God is preparing you for greater things. The discipline being developed may be quite hard, but after you surpassed these hurdles in life, you will come out stronger and better. Hebrews 12:11 says “No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.”

At the end of each day, always check your heart. For the past few days prior, God has been so gracious to me and He keeps reminding me of this verse from Proverbs 4:23 (NLT) “Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.”

God bless us all
