Hearing God (silent retreat)....Part 4

By
Genesis 1:14 Then God said, “Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years;
Genesis 1:15 and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth”; and it was so.
Genesis 1:16 Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also.
Genesis 1:17 God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth,
Genesis 1:18 and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good.
Genesis 1:19 So the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

I see the faithfulness of God in verse 17. God set them (2 great lights) in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth.

Even while we are experiencing the "nights" in our life, there is still the lesser light to rule the night. God is faithful and trustworthy. Sometimes, God may appear nowhere to be found, but there is still glimpse of light which He still provides so that we can exercise faith to trust Him. He wants us to live by faith and not by sight. We can still trust in His word, His promises and await His time. Be still and know that He is God. (Psalm 46:10). As His word clearly shows: "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him". (Hebrews 11:6)

God wants us to look beyond our circumstances, our trials and know that He is God. Every situation has a spiritual significance and a spiritual lesson for us to grasp Him and know Him deeper.

Praise God!

New lawyer Darren Tan once spent 10 years in jail PUBLISHED IN ST ON AUG 25, 2014 11:47 AM

I love to hear testimonies of God's transforming works in a person's life.  It encourages me & I hope when I post it here, it encourages you too!    Mr Darren Tan with his proud parents - Mr Tan Chon Kiat and Madam Ong Ai Hock. The new lawyer changed the course of his life while he was behind bars.  BY CHANG AI-LIEN SENIOR CORRESPONDENT Darren Tan, 35, is finally a full-fledged lawyer. He reached that milestone yesterday when he was called to the Bar during a mass ceremony at Nanyang Technological University. It was a far cry from his shaky start in life when drugs and gang activities led to over 10 years behind bars and 19 strokes of the cane. "This is the culmination of what I've been working towards for the last 10 years," he told The Sunday Times. "It's like waking up from a dream and finding out your dream has become reality." His life of crime began at the age of 14, and he was in and out of prison for offences that ...

Ego, a female feline - adoption & what to expect after that

By
My daughter adopted a kitten (2.5 months) from SPCA. We pay $65 to adopt her and this covers the cost of sterilisation, vaccination and microchipping. Initially she had spotted one that was cute but while we reached there, the kitten was already adopted by someone else. She decided to adopt the kitten which I found uncomely, didn't look cute at all. Furthermore she was a very active kitten and displayed alot of temperament, she meowed at you and tried to force open the cage. We were told that our whole family must be there to receive counselling before adoption can be made. I think the reason is to be realised by me later. It is a lifetime commitment with considerable responsibilities. A cat can live up to 20 years of age. Having a kitten is not easy. First of all, it is the droppings that we have to clear. She is a smart kitten, she knew how to use a cat litter tray. Each time she excretes, she will bury her droppings under the litter. No matter how she buried, the s...

A visit to Aeroponic Farm & Mushroom farm

My sister-in-law is a horticulturist and today she led us to a farm visit to the Aeroponic farm in the Kranji Countryside. We set off at 9.45am from Ang Mo Kio & reach Kranji MRT around 10.15am. The Kranji Express Bus will arrive at 10.30am. There is a need to follow the bus schedule else you have to wait for more than 1 1/2 hour. This is the greenhouse also called a glasshouse or hothouse and is a building where plants are cultivated. From Wilkipedia: A greenhouse is a structure with a glass or plastic roof and frequently glass or plastic walls; it heats up because incoming solar radiation from the sun warms plants, soil, and other things inside the building faster than heat can escape the structure. Air warmed by the heat from hot interior surfaces is retained in the building by the roof and wall. These structures range in size from small sheds to very large buildings This is Butterhead lettuce. Their leaves are soft and pliable with loose heads. They can be made into drink....
