Job 5:19 He shall deliver you in six troubles, yes, in seven no evil shall touch you.
God will deliver you from all your troubles. (2 Timothy 4:18) But deliverance is actually not the best that God has for you because it implies that you are in trouble. God’s best for you is the place where no trouble or evil can touch you. And with God’s help, you will come to that place because the Bible says, “He shall deliver you in six troubles, yes, in seven no evil shall touch you.”
This does not mean that God will deliver you only six times. It just means that as you keep believing God’s promises of protection, after some time, you will come to a place where no evil will touch you!
So when trouble comes, God does not want you to be discouraged. He wants you to know that it is only the devil trying to steal God’s Word from your heart. The devil is afraid of leaving God’s Word in your heart for even one second because he knows that it will lead you to a place where no evil can touch you. That is why he comes immediately to steal God’s Word from your heart.
He will do so by telling you, “Look, your child is sick. Where is God now?” You must not respond by saying, “Well, I guess it does not work. Maybe God’s promises of deliverance are not for my family.”
No, you must continue to stand on God’s promises. Say, “The previous flu my child had did not stay. God promises me deliverance and He did deliver my child then. So I will live life believing God’s promises of deliverance because His Word is true. And I will come to a place where no evil can touch me and my family!”
Even if in the next moment you happen to stub your toe against something hard, don’t be discouraged and wonder why God did not protect your toe. No, thank God that the devil had meant to cause greater harm to you but could not. Thank God that He delivered you. And keep standing on His promises until you come to the place where no evil can touch you!
Ok I'm going to actually produce some content today instead of bombarding you with music videos and more music videos, lol.
Wow, a lot of things have happened in the last couple of months. Other than the usual round of procrastinating for assignments and then rushing like mad at the last minute, there've been things going on at home (it's like a soap opera) and things in my personal life (also like a soap opera). It's been one heck of a rollercoaster ride. Not going to talk about them here though. :P Maybe when the dust has settled. Maybe :)
But if you are very very very observant maybe you can guess a lil' from the stuff I've been posting. As a good friend said, sometimes you can read more from what a person doesn't say. Silences can be loud.
Now on to other things...
Like how last Saturday Netty invited us to her place for Hari Raya open house and we had so much fun. Her house rocks! I wanna balcony toooooooo
And Cece gave me 3 more goldfishies for my birthday. :)))) Unfortunately the smallest one (which was supposed to be 'paired' with my Sheep2 because they were the same colour) died on the first night. :(
I hadn't decided on a name for it yet, which was just as well... Luke had suggested Dot and I really liked it. (The other two are called Sushi and Sashimi by the way, courtesy of Luke and Shujuan lol)
(We seem obsessed with food no? Lol)
And then on Sunday (yesterday), after I came home from a very enjoyable day out with Sheena and Hannah, I found Sheep dead. :(((((((((((((
Yes, Sheep died. I still feel a bit sad now, we were together for 2 months!!!! My first fish!!!! And yes, so many 'what if's... What if I had not put them in with Sheep together, what if I had gotten a bigger aquarium for them straight away, what if, what if.....
I was quite mad at first (not at Cece of course), my first thought to the other two goldfishes were, "You killed my Sheep! I wanna throw you away!"
I know it sounds stupid, but I was attached to Sheep ok. It was just a goldfish I know. But.
I woke up this morning to find Sashimi dead too. :(
Maybe it was a bad omen to name them after a fish dish. :S
Well, I'm not so affected by Sashimi's death as I was by Sheep, but still it's awful to see a dead fish.
Picture time (thanks to Shu! :))
That's Sheep in front, with Sashimi at the side and Dot behind
Here's Sushi (who is happily still swimming away in the S$58 aquarium I got yesterday), Sheep (the one shitting lol) and Sashimi behind
Sashimi and Sheep with my laptop and heart necklace in the background
Sheep was forever shitting. I miss her/him (DOH) :(
Sashimi
Sushi
Goodbye Dot, Sheep and Sashimi, wherever you are now :)
At the moment, I'm not sure if I should get more fishes...it's been quite a disaster for far really :S
Actually what I really want as pets are guinea pigs, rabbits, cats and dogs...but don't give them to me as presents please! xP Well at least not now, but I will tell you when you can do that, lol...
WOW just realised this blog is 4 years and 1 month old. :D
New song off her new album. Not sure if I like the new songs, but I kinda like this one now after listening to it a few times.
I don't like how stylised her music videos look now though...they used to be a lot more natural? She's a singer and songwriter, not a pop star. It's like they're dressing her up, packaging her, making her into a doll...it's so...Taiwanese!!! Bleah.
Then again, maybe it's her own ideas lah. Nothing wrong with experimenting with a new style also... :X
Yes another Katie Melua video...but be warned, this video is CREEPY. I love this song though.
There's some speculation that this song is Mary singing about Jesus, which makes sense in the context of the lyrics...however I don't quite agree with the lyrics...
If Mary had really understood why Jesus came (and thus had to leave) she would not have become "a hopeless drifter".
I also think they could have chosen a much better-looking man to play 'Jesus' (assuming he is Jesus)!! I mean, didn't you see Jim Caviezel in the Passion of the Christ???
Regina's another singer whose voice and other songs I love too... I think like Katie they have a very distinct voice and style. Check out Samson. It makes references to Sampson and Delilah. There're a whole bunch of songs about them you know. The world seems fascinated with them. But I'm glad I know the real love story... the one between me and Jesus. :)
I would classify the above songs as "songs to fall in love to", hehe. I have friends who hate the first two songs though, donno why. Lol.. Anyway I also have another favourite now that is kinda sad...
