Numbers 2-3, Mark 11:27-12:17, Psalm 47, Proverbs 10:24-25

I spent reading these passages while waiting to see the doctor for a sore throat and cough.

Why did the Lord count His people? Probably to let them see how blessed they are. Count the blessings and rejoice in the Lord!

As I look back, just this week alone, I gave these glory for the blessings He has bless me:
1. I finally sold my flat at a good price. We prayed for a price in mind and God bless us with a buyer who paid much higher than the price we asked. Moreover, the buyer are Christians and as Rachael mentioned, it will be a third generation of Christian owners.

2. The forex market move in my favour. the profit that I took in just last week is equalvalent to the entire of last month. Bless me to God, who give me the talents in this field. I thank God for His providience.

Pslam 46:4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,the holy habitation of the Most High.

As I read, I remembered the time at Switerland, with Josef playing by the cool stream. We enjoyed it. I pray and ask that the Holy Spirit filled me with gladness, for joy. The Lord provides, He bless, but why are you still not rejoicing?

Well it is because I compare, I compare with other who make their material wealth much easier and much more than me. Why am I no satisify? I need a radical re-orientation. The hopes, the measures I used are all wrong.

I need therefore to know that all provisions comes from God. This family has lived well and more importantly, the final objectives is not for millions of dollars but to have a sum for interest rolling and to provide passive income, so that my family is provided for, and even though I am not working, so that I can devote to other works God has called me to.

I pray in the process, I am not suck in my the material things of this earth. My focus should be on the things above. I should focus my energy on Him, on the Lord and seek out what I can gain for Him.

The simple thing of sharing the gospel - where has that movitation goes to. Prople need the Lord. Open my eyes that I may see - lose soul. As such, I pray for divine appoint that I am know and meet people this week that I may be able to share Christ with them. I set no target this week but pray for God wonders work to come alive once more.

Focus on Him and not on the works of my own hand. I pray that as I look at the more important things of God, I will too grow in gladness and joy through the wonders of God in my life. Amen
