11 July

11 July - Pro 19:1-3; 1 Chr 11:1-12:18; Acts 28; Psa 9:1-12

1 Chr 1:9 And David became greater and greater, for the Lord of hosts was with him.
The rest of the OT reading told the story of David's mighty men.

The story reminds of my favourite game that I play some 2 decades and still playing - San Guo Zi. I played Cao Cao and as the game proceed, your territories increase, you capture more generals and groom more.

David did that role playing game not in the cyber wolrd by in the real world, with God help. His "jiang san" is fought out with the hel of God. It excites me as I read in details the name of his mighty men. Commanders of hundreds and thousands.

Likewise, I began searching and craving out my "jiang san" some three years back. Not everytime the business is sucecessful. It is the recent business that I embarked on that gave the most results. The intention is to grow it for another year or less.. BUT all said - unless the Lord builds the house I will labour in vain. I have to put my faith in God and like David - become greater and greater.

The NT reminds me of my trips to China. Paul despite his trip to Rome as a criminal, he became a missionary of Christ to Rome. I still long to go back, in particularly to this little town called Weixi and Deqing in the remote part of North West Yunan China. I remembered the farmer and the school girl who prayed with me to recevie Christ. It's tough place to go, despite the opening up for Bejing 2008 Olympics, as by this year, though an airport is open at Shangarila (Chongdian), the whole place is economocially still under develop.

Well, all the work is by God and for God, my business, my vision and my passion. Therefore it is not how sucessful I can become, but I deep I can grow in God. I pray that this "jiang san" that I has begin fighting will become stronger and stronger
