Below is what I wrote while providing devotional pointers from Psalms to some brothers and sisters.
day 1 ch1 - action n prayer point was for my life to b a blossoming tree right, n God used me at work to trick ppl into reading the Bible, n that they now kno im religious n r starting to attack me with questions like "where's God in the flood" etc etc, which is good! my fav verse in chinese is actually v2 惟喜愛耶和華的律法，晝夜思想，這人便為有福. so its really reminded me of wt i havta do... im hoping that 1 day i'll b so addicted that when i close my eyes all i can fink of is His Word (like when i was addicted to warriors orochi :S)
day 2 ch8- action point was to praise. since monday i've been worried sick abt wt i'd havta do in sunday school with alwin n nara's situation, whether i'd b ready to handle it since friday was the predicted day... but u guys all kno wt happened, definately(i spelt it rite) worthy to b praised. my fav image is v4 "wt is man that u r mindful of him, the son of man (notice its not capitals) that u care for him?" this is the best reminder 4 me.. cuz there's significantly more ppl around me who i dun care abt than ones i do... so wt does it really take for 1 to care about another? but wtever it is, we're not worthy to b ruler anyway
day 3 ch4- when i evaluated myself (v4-5) i realised that i dun hav the faith that david does... some things when i pray abt, im really faithful n confident that He'll hear it, but others, especially when i pray for others, im really doubtful, n my heart is definately not quiet n silent... n v5.. the "right" sacrifices... its the difference between Cain's n Abel's sacrifices.. this day was the 1st day when i told ks that im doing this 4 u guys... n ks's been trying to get me to slow down n stop taking up stuff for a long time, so he was against it. but after knowing that u guys actually do it, we decided that it IS a sacrifice that's acceptable to Him. cuz for someone to hav the heart to do devo, its nothing at all to do with the devo material, cuz there r really good devo materials out there, but HEAPS of ppl don't do devo. it was definately the works of the Spirit, so ... if the Spirit is on my side.. then i dunno wts a better indicator that the sacrifice is accepted!
day 4 ch13- as i mentioned in the material, i prayed for directions n clear orders from God my Commander. nothing happened during the day until after ubf when we hung at maccaz for like 3hrs... dunno whether i shared w/ u guys before... i've had a calling to do ministry in 1st yr during devo in church training, elon was there. a 2nd calling last yr when my outreach partner randomly urged me to do ministry. n i sed i won't do anything until i get a 3rd confirmation... well i bloody got it -______-" vinh randomly talked abt how he finks i can do wt his friend lyn does.. use my commerce degree n work for a mission organisation n go with them on mission trips... -_____-" never...ever... pray for anything my friends! cuz HE frekin answers
day 5 ch23 - a hebrew shepherd carries a club n stones to fend off lions/bears/jackals/hyenas for the sheep (ps 23:4), a staff as walking stick n direct the sheep. they havta find new pastures for their sheep to graze, find a well for water, find a safe place for sheep to sleep at night. the shepherd knows each sheep by name. =] enough said. i dun even kno y we needa do anything... its all there
day 6 ch27 - fear comes from "loss". like ur scared of scary movies cuz u lose "security", darkness cuz u lose "sight", embarassment cuz u lose "face" etc etc. but fear is illogical, u can't reason someone out of fear, like u can't say to someone scared of heights "5storeys isn't that high! look down!" they'll still b scared... im scared of a lot of things, but knowing that the Lord is my stronghold, it eases "some" fear cuz Mark 5:36 "don't b afraid; just believe" im scared n worried about a lot of things atm, i just hope that whatever method i choose to deal with the issues, i'll consult God
