Psalm 94:7 and they say, “The Lord does not see;the God of Jacob does not perceive.”
8 Understand, O dullest of the people!Fools, when will you be wise?9 He who planted the ear, does he not hear?He who formed the eye, does he not see?10 He who disciplines the nations, does he not rebuke?He who teaches man knowledge—11 the Lord—knows the thoughts of man,that they are but a breath.


You are not by yourself - the world was created and did not just come forth by itself. You don't just happen. You were created for a noble purpose.

Therefore do not be engulfed by the pleasures of this world. The seduction of power that you can do anything and eveything you like. The Lord does see and hear.

Come to your senses - seek the treasures of heaven, build the eternal treasures.

There are so many of my colleagues who pursue the pleasure and status of this world - seeking approval in the eyes of man, doing what they feel to obtain what is more treaures in material, status and pleasures.

Lord, let me see your heartbeat and discipline myself towards the goal in Christ Jesus. Forgive me for not doing the right thing and thereby, compromising the salvation of the people around me.

Thank you Lord, for blessing me with a lovely family - really more than enough. Thank you for blessing the works of my hand - after 3 years or 5 years, I see the fruit in the business venture. As I prepare to hand over this business, I pray that the Lord will prepare the work you have for me in China. Of course, purify my heart, my action and my speech that I can hear and act based on your Holy Spirit.

I pray for my father, who look well and eat well. I pray for his cancer and that Jesus will heal and that he may know that it is the Lord and let him know that the Lord loves him - not my will but yours.

Thank you for protecting my family, seeing that they are safe and healthy. I pray that as a family, we will be able to serve you and your people.

Lift Rachael up, Psa 94:19 When the cares of my heart are many,your consolations cheer my soul. The Lord cares and will take care.
