Daily Bread - Wilderness

Another devotional from my manager ;)


Thirsting For God In The Wilderness - Ps 63

1 O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for
you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no
water. 2 I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and
your glory. 3 Because your love is better than life, my lips will
glorify you.

David was in the wilderness of Judah where there was no water, no rain
and a scorching sun coming down hard on him. He was definitely thirsty
for water. But yet he was even more thirsty for God because he knew
exactly what to do even in the wilderness ... to thirst for God and
glorify Him.

Dear God, You allow wilderness in our lives for a reason. Where we
have to battle the scorching sun of physical & mental tiredness,
feeling of doubts, fears, hopelessness & helplessness, seemingly
unending stretch of sand of things to do, we need to continue to
thirst for You and to trust in You because this is one of the main
reasons for You to allow wilderness in our lives. Amen!

Good things

Good things happen recently ^^ Not so much for me though lol. Well, my NUS fren got engaged last week. She has been with her boyfriend for quite a while. Both are genius.. congratz2... Then yesterday was the most shocking one... coz I always thought all was just jokes.. congratz to the two FA frens of me. Surely love works in the most unpredictable ways. Of course the previous couple from FA was also shocking to me for different reason haha. Anyway, glad to see them happy. I dunno if Friday's dinner is gonna be good thing but I know that this is really going nowhere. Sigh.. so it seems that we are going nowhere while the others have moved on. Anyway, was having a great FA session last night. Eve shared on how God used her the night before to help cast out demons for her friend. So she was sleeping over her friend's house, they were chatting till almost 3 AM and then the topic became serious and her friend wanted to be set free from the devil spirit inside her. At first Eve was ...

song of the phoenix

Hindarkan aku dari murkaMu ya Allah, sembunyikan aku dari geramMu yang menyala-nyala sesungguhnya dalam kesalahan aku dikandung, dan dalam pelanggaran aku diperanakkan, dan dengan dosa aku bergumul sepanjang hariku tulang-tulangku serasa remuk oleh gentar, dan hatiku sungguh hancur mengingat dukaMu jangan palingkan wajahMu ya Allah, jangan biarkan rohMu yang kudus beranjak dariku siapakah aku ya Tuhan, hingga layak akan belas kasihMu namun itu yang kupinta, kuberanikan meminta, maka dengarlah jeritku ya gunung batuku sekali lagi, ulurkan tangan kanan Mu angkatlah aku dari debu dan abu sekali lagi, hembuskan nafas hidup Mu bangkitkan aku dari jurang maut Hades nyalakan sekali lagi, api kudus Mu yang menghanguskan noda cela ku sampai habis biar sekali lagi bibir ini layak berkata, terpujilah Engkau ya Allah ku yang hidup *dari chapter 'daud dan batsyeba'
