7 Apr 2014; Rev 21

The new Jerusalem mentioned in Rev 21 is 1830miles or almost 3000km in length and width and height!

A great city that span 3 times the length of West Malaysia, a city named as the bride of the Lamb. Who is then the bride of the Lamb - the church. The new Jerusalem is the church - a city big big enough for all who served God. In it there is no temple - because God is with us. In the city there is no need for light - because God is the light. John is lost for words when he see the vision of the city.

Start with the end in mind. Can I treat the job as an extra to my income for my retirement? I have been dwelling on this subject - as I reach the age I set that I should retire. Can I relax - take away the stress - also the money, also the responsibility - the status, the power...

Can the answer be a YES? In the setting of the new Jerusalem - the center of focus is God, there is no evil, no Satan, enough for everyone and there is no need to struggle - therefore if the end is to serve God - then it should be NOW. Start with the end in mind!

So easy said than done - is it because of the world that is so attached to me... As the term starts, I wonder that the time to settle the kids, the family, the forex, the TWAG, how to settle down... I have not and have not know why my weekly time table cannot be settled. Also time for exercise!

Lord, help me to adjust - prioritize the time during lunch to spend time with you. Keep my mind daily in Christ and the pursuit of His kingdom.
