28 Jan 2016; Exo 6
From verse 2 to verse 9, the Lord spoke to Moses, I am the Lord, I.... and finally in verse 9 I am the Lord.
But in verse 10, You go and tell Pharaoh... The Lord Himself can do it, He hear, He see, He know and He will do, but you go can tell ...
Why? Because if the Lord do it Himself, we see, we see how powerful He is. When we do, God uses us as His instrument, we "become" part of His plan and purpose. He reveal His plan, now we know and as we did and execute the purpose, we remembered we grow.
The growth in Him brings us closer and that is the same redemptive purposes for Christ,
Lord use me so that I can grow.

25 Jan 2016; Gen 50
Genesis ends with Joseph in a coffin, but a promise that God told Abraham, Issac and Jacob. A land that the Lord promise that was not claimed. Joseph told the sons of Israel that God:
v24 And Joseph said to his brothers, “I am about to die, but nGod will visit you and bring you up out of this land to the land othat he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.”
How long, so long that a new king arose and forget the good things Joseph did. But the land was occupied and the plan is to claim it by force and it need number. God bless the Israelite - fruitful and multiply. They were made strong and indeed stronger than the Egyptian who begin to fear them.
With our strength, we will claim the land. Abraham only bought a cave as a burial ground and even the private army of Abraham who defeated the five kings is only 318. It was not possible. Our human eyes are too short sighted. We hurried and fall short of His purposes.
We failed to see the long term plan of God. We failed to see His eternity.
Pastor Edmund told the story that if his child died, he will give thanks, simply the child is in the hand of God and know where. Not the temporal but eternal with God.

v3 and 4
It is again a picture of the time I have with my child. The time I am with them, that I show them and teach them.
Indeed, nothings beats this intangible investment in them. That it is leaving them a legacy and builds on Godly value for the next generation.
It warms my heart to be with my children, be able to spend time with them. Prov 4:4, thus remind me the value of spending time with them. My words means a lot to them. What does God says to me, I teach them.
Gen 41-42
41:37
Joseph Rises to Power This proposal pleased Pharaoh and all his servants. And Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find a man like this, in whom is the Spirit of God?” (Genesis 41:37-38 ESV)
What is man in whom is the Spirit of God? Stephen in the NT was one of them - full of the spirit.
I too like the description given in Acts 10
Peter and Cornelius At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion of what was known as the Italian Cohort, a devout man who feared God with all his household, gave alms generously to the people, and prayed continually to God. About the ninth hour of the day he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God come in and say to him, “Cornelius.” And he stared at him in terror and said, “What is it, Lord?” And he said to him, “Your prayers and your alms have ascended as a memorial before God. (Acts 10:1-4 ESV)
A gentile, yet know God. Fear God with all his household, give pray.
I am so so short of this.

Joseph has 2 sons, so do I
Jo is my first born. Mat is the second. In fact both sons are very lovely.
When I was a son with my father, tender, the only one in the sight of my mother, he taught me and said to me, “Let your heart hold fast my words; keep my commandments, and live.
This gives a picture of I alone with Mat. He is not that disobedient. Maybe he is the youngest and has been shouted the most. With me alone, he does what I told him. He still is a young boy and need a lot of guidance. In fact he is smart and and understand reason.
Teach him and he will learn. He is not a simple. And I pray for him to social well with people. How to speak gently -

God picked the right guy. If Joseph lamented along the way to Egypt and continue to complaint at Potipiah's house and the prison, will God be with him. Maybe God is with him and he succeed in everything, that is why Joseph is for God.
Joseph answered - why should I do this that I may sinned against my God. Not Potipiah, not man, but God!
God has obvious intended for good to come out of Egypt. He had choose Joseph. Joseph has god in his heart all alone. He lost his family and except God he remembered that appear in his dream that the sun and moon bow down.
If God is for real, then this dream has yet been fulfilled and it is not the time for him to end. His hope is in God.
I prayed for my own Jo. That he will always keep God has may the Lord be with him just like he has been with Joseph.

18 Jan 2016; A Burden to grow
18 Jan 2016
An weekend spent with he kids cycling on Saturday and sailing on Sunday. It is a life with the family that I enjoyed. But over the weekend, Jo did his amount of work, but needs a lot of organization skills. He has been a boy of much concern. His results has fall from average to below , too distracted by the phone for social and for games. Is there nothing we can do? We have nag, we have reminds, we have warned..
Well this speak for a burden to grow, not in Jo, but myself. The week before was on grace. Something that we do not deserve but was given. We received the grace and therefore extends the grace to others. Grace from Christ - thanks but the respond is change. A change to grow. A need to grow.
As a father, I can help Jo, but I can also pray. But more importantly is Jo walk with God. He don't really read the word, pray, journal. I hope that the playing of guitar is his worship and not entertainment.
How to catch him, I need to spend a lot of time with him, with my children,. It is then to guide them or to show them or to do it for them?
Well Lord, this is the burden I have this morning for my children.

When Esau married a Hittite woman, they made life bitter for Issac and Rebekah. (26:35). Rebekah further commented in 27:46 "I loathe my life because of the Hittite women..."
The family starts with Rach and I as the first generation Christian, then let this legacy continues with my children to continue to loves God, loves people and be fruitful and continue to raise up generations of God fearing children.
As such, there is a need to pray for my children. this was what I wrote on the sky lantern , that God will bless Jo with a family, a wife that will blessings to Jo, to us and to the people. In His perfect will, that she will be found suitable helper for Jo in the fulfillment of the purposes God has for Jo and the generations to follow.

I spoke to a student and he poured out his childhood life to me. He told me the misfortune that befalls him and how he was mistreated by his father. He also relate how his classmate ganged up to bully him.
A point I took is that he do not wish to do well because even if he was to do well, he did not gain the praise of his father. But as a result, in a normal academic stream, led worse.
He did not want to go home as he wants to prolong the beating he receive at home.
He may seem ok, but with the baggage he carried, no wonder he contemplate suicide.
In the darkness, the hope is Christ. In Genesis, Abraham did not see the fulfillment, but the hope lies in a God that is eternal.
He gave all to Issac and to all his other children he give gifts and sent them away. Not sure if Abraham was a good father and how the other children feel. I guess children wanted love. A home without love, the children do not wish to be there.
It point me to stop nagging my Jo but to tell him and praise him for the little achievement he made. Not the case of high expectation, that praises can only be given.
Abraham gave gifts to his other children. That give them a start and therefore cannot claim any more inheritence. It is like the story of the prodigal elder son, that all that the father has belongs to him.
I remembered in UK, the Duke handed over the heir the inheritance. The other sons knew that they has no part in it.
It is therefore not the material pass down, but the love the father gives to the children when he is alive that is more important.

Yesterday sermon was on grace. Let me not make grace cheap, that Christ should die in vain and let me not make grace guilt, that I know that I have been forgiven and therefore move on. Let the grace that save me change me. Let the response for the grace given free by my saviour Jesus be a change in me and let praises come from me.

8 Jan 2016; Proverbs - The fear of the Lord
8 Jan 2016; Proverbs - The fear of the Lord
What is the fear of the Lord? It is more than reverence, respect and the afraid of doing the wrong things..
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, wisdom and instruction.
What then should we fear God? It is the simple sins that God hate. It is that that he wants us to stay away.
One of the sins is envy.
By envy it makes me want what my peer has been appointed, the status that they are in, the material things they have, their achievement...
I know I can also be, pride takes in.
The antidote is then not contentment but humility. It is the learning that the ability that God has made someone better for a better purpose. Promotion comes from the Lord. It is then finding your contentment in Christ. Coming to Him for the lack, the shortfall and even for the negative feelings, instead o falling into the sins of envy,
When you fear God, you fear nothing else.
Some references about the fear of the God from the book of Proverbs
1:29
3:7
8:13
14:2
15:33
16:6
22:4
23:17
24:21-22
The fear of the Lord is such that we may hate evil, not just the first step to wisdom. It is more than reverence for the Lord. For apart from these there is no fear.
Some sins, 8:13, ride, arrogance, the way of evil or evil behavior, perverted speech.
6:16
Say no to sins, and forget that God hate sins. Sins violates His Holiness, corrupts His purposes, rob us of every power and peace that God intended for us.
23:17
If we envy sinners, we end up not fearing God.
It is a strong emotion that one seeks to process a quality or something.
14:30 Envy rot the bone
3:31 Envy a man of violence
If we are process someone or something other than god, it is idolatry.
Why are we envy of sinners? Sinners can do whatever they want, free to do, seems attractive. Pleasure and freedom.
Do we really want that or are we after a value of oneness that if for God and refuse what unwholesome pleasure and freedom brings that satisfy the temporal emotion?
It is instead, Christ centered-ness. Values that is after Jesus. The story of Lot which I read yesterday, come near to sin, pleasure and be satisfy and telling yourself that I will not be drawn into it, is another lies. The sins will draw you in and you will be stuck.
I pray for that desire to be satisfy temporally, the feeling of great temporal, but instead focus my thoughts and prayers for the family, that Christ value.
We have destiny in Christ. Christ is the judge of all man and not be envy in the temporal success around us.
Envy is the daughter of pride, anger, virtue,
23:17 How then to overcome envy - be jealous for God. Be zealous for the things of God.
Besides, saying No to sins, we must also say Yes to the savior. Saying No is preventive. Saying Yes to Jesus is proactive, start doing something else that stop doing that wrong things.
16:6 Love and faithful sins is atone for, though Jesus that we draw strength and knowing that there is forgiveness. Do not carry these sins on our shoulder, not upon our merits, but Christ remove them all by His blood.
Therefore remove sins because we have Christ.
The antidote to envy are: Not just contentment. Contentment is a state of being. But being able to get to that state we need humility.
Humility is the ability to come under a higher authority, subject ourselves to Christ.
1Pet 5:6
Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you,
Cast all our care to Him. Knowing that Christ takes care of my life. When someone is promoted and you are not, I am envy and am tempt in envy to do what and like the sinners. But the cast on God leads to the knowledge that God cares and I am well under the authority of God, who is above all. I am contented.
If you fear God
15:32 Humility comes before honor.
24:21-22 You will respect those in authorities.
The fear of the Lord, requires us to act decisive to sins, but just say no, but proactive remove it through Christ.
His Love and Faithfulness will keep us. His peace and refuge will keep us. Love our savior faithfully and deal with sins decisively.

Lot saw the land in the valley near Sodom was good and pitch near it.
But what near it later became in it. Lot was later capture and put in Sodom.
Sodom represent the evil, looks good. Often we choose based on that and thinking that as long as we are not in it, it is ok, but often, the near it later become in it.
Guard my heart so that what capture it should be the one that consecrate it and not corrupt it.
As I did devotion with Deb, the life of Paul begin with strict learning and teaching and work for God. That should be the devotion.
I did my swim today 14 laps.
I hope to spend tomorrow morning in desperation, time alone with God.

Discerning
Desperation:
Prov 2:
Call and cry out to Him in desperation. Am I too complacent? When was the last time I cried out?
Is there no need and I can do without God? Or once a while when the problem is too big?
What capture the heart will either consecrate or corrupt the heart. Is there no need then to run after Him in desperation?
Devotion:
Is is about the desire to spend time with Him, in His words, in prayers. When was the last time that I spend solid time with Him in reading His words, in prayers. Is one hour too long?
Discernment:
Prov 2:
The wisdom of God, gives us the discernment.
Just do the right things of God.
BTW,
I ran 4km and did 120 back press today.
Prov 1:
What then is a life after God's?
In contrast what is a life style not after God:
Prov 2: 12-19
delivering you from the way of evil,
