18 June 2014; Mat 6:24

I did not sleep well last night. Not because of any anxieties or worries - because I am on holiday and it is the first night and I cannot used to the bed.

I brought my 2 boys to buy food, holding Matty hand as we walk. Jo walked beside us. When I picked up a food item to look at the expiry date, my eyes cannot see the label clearly. I realized I have aged. My boys has grown up. It was Jo that I used to hold his hand because of safety sake at a foreign place.

My back ache at time. Lord I am no longer have the strength that I used to have of my youth. Jo helped me to carry the grocery back - saying that Dad don't hurt your back and these I can managed. Jo is now taller than I am. Lord use me. I know that there is a lot of area that I need to surrender so that the potter can mold the cray. Lord, let this mold not be harden and dried up that it is longer good for any shaping.

I know my weakness  and I submit my back ache to you. I submit my physical weakness to you. I am encourage once again after hearing Rach sharing from Pastor Edmund sermon - how one can leave by faith and allow the Lord to direct.

This family has enough, more than sufficient. Use me and this family for the extension of your kingdom. Let me encounter with you that I may be able to share the realness of God in the lives of my children - that they may that their God is a living God.

The text today from Mat is from 6:24
“No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money. (Matthew 6:24 ESV)

Who do I choose to serve - the pursuit on my life - the next phase? I pray it will be a devotion to God. Amen.
