Yesterday, I feel just over-sensitive about anything. At afternoon, I called someone and he did say something that sounds a bit underestimating to me. He asked, what happened about your work?

Honestly, I’m not proud enough to get accepted in clinic. Because, I have an expectation to get accepted in a bigger hospital, yet I’m being grateful. Because, to get some job is not easy in this pandemic time. And, I think this clinic have some potential, that added my chance to get accepted in the bigger hospital.

But, hearing those kind of thing honestly made me a bit annoyed. Like adding salt into my wound. Yeah, maybe I’m a bit exaggerating ya.

And then, I tell about this to another person. She’s more on my side, but saying another thing that judging my way of handling problem. It’s so annoying, because I think everyone has their own way. Why all people have to deal problems in the same way. There’s no right or wrong in this kind of situation, I think.

And honestly, the emotion is still there until this morning, I wake up, with a bad mood and sluggish feeling. But then I get reminded, that  actually they just want me to get better thing. They only want what’s best for me. And this actually kinda make it easier to accept.

Because I realized, that they’re not my opponent nor judge. They’re on my side. I don’t have to spend my energy to fight for it. I should just receive it, and think over it. Because they simply just want what’s best for me and my life.

And the second thing, ya I admit that there’s many times that I’m overthinking about my future and just questioning whether God really cares of me. But again, I get reminded about the previous post. That God is always with me wherever I go, He will never leave me, nor forsake me.

When you don’t get what you want doesn’t mean God stopped working and caring of you. He will always be there, working for our goods. Never stop trusting Him, because if not, whom can we trust? He’s the most trustworthy one in our life.

BIBLETIME - Joshua 2

So now, let’s move to chapter 2.

This chapter tells about Joshua send two spies to Jericho. When they arrived, they entered a house of prostitute and stayed there. They almost get caught, but thankfully saved through this prostitute, named Rahab.

What caught me is Rahab’s saying in verse 9-10, she said that great fear has fallen upon Jericho. They heard how Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea and what Lord do when they fight Sihon and Og, the two kings of Amorites, whom they completely destroyed.

Many times, God did miracles in our life. In the mean time, we really thankful and praise Him. But when the circumstances changed, and fear crippling into our hearts, we forget the fact that our God, our Lord is mighty. And most importantly, He promise to always walk with us, never leave nor forsake us.

And in v. 11, Rahab said that, “Our hearts melted in fear and everyone’s courage failed because of you, for the Lord your God is God in heaven above and on the earth below.”

Even she believed that our Father Yahweh is the most powerful God, the God who’s really alive. He is God in heaven and on the earth.

And one thing, that I still confuse. I feel like this Rahab story have connection with second coming of Yeshua Hamasiach, because - She don’t know when will Israelites attack Jericho - Those spies promised to spare her and her family when the day comes - She has to tied scarlet cord in the window for sign to Israelites - If there’s family outside of that house when Israelites came, it’s not their responsibilities if they got slain too It means, Rahab have to be on alert every single day, expecting when will the Israelites come. And when the time come, she have to make sure that all of her family is under covenant.

But I still don’t get the message, I think.

That’s it for tonight, I’m really sleepy. Thankyou God for today BibleTime! I learned a lot.

BIBLETIME - Joshua 1

Today, I start to read Joshua. 

Chapter 1 - After the death of Moses, God told Joshua to bring Israelites into the promised land. Indeed, it’s not an easy task. Seeing the facts about how stiff-necked Israelites even when Moses leads them.

Joshua got so overwhelmed with this task, and seeing him getting discouraged, God promised him, (and for us)

1. I will give you every place you set your foot (v. 3) 2. No one will be able to stand against us all the days of his life (v. 5) 3. God will never leave us, nor forsake us (v. 5) 4. You may be successful wherever you go. (v. 7) 5. You will be prosperous and successful (v. 8)  6.  The Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. (v. 9)

What we have to do, 1. Be strong and courageous 2. Be careful to obey all the law Moses gave, do not turn from it to the right or left. 3. Keep the Book of Law always on your lips. -- When I search “lip” in bible, there’re so many verses that shows the relationship between lips and heart. And mostly tells us that what’s your lips says reflect your heart’s condition. 4. Meditate on it day and night, so... the reason is, so you may be careful to do everything written in it. We should not do only half, or ninety percent of it. Because God clearly said that everything should be done. 5. And again, He said be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid, do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.

He is such a loving, responsible God. He doesn’t just command us to do something, He promise us in everything the Lord our God will be with us wherever we go. 

I think, even our parents, our best friends, our partners can’t do this. In many ways, human shows flaws even when they don’t actually mean it. But, He was, always,and will be with us wherever we go, because He already promised.

SECOND

This is my second post, and still in the same day.

Yesterday, my friend post an IGS. He asked, what do you think about quote that said “If you want to soar high, you can’t befriend with ducks. You should befriend with eagles.”

Suddenly I just want to answer it, which I believe is God’s work on me. At first, I got confused how to explain it,because if I just say yes agree, it will sounds so arrogant seeing the condition of that friend right now. It feels not right too, tho. To leave all that ducks, and befriend only with successful person.

And then I prayed, God gave me wisdom which I never even think of it. Because, actually I always askin in my heart about this too tho.

And He said, “The eagles and ducks is not measured by success and achievement, but about character and the relationship with God.” Well, you know, what God said it must not about worldly thing, wealth, money, intelligence, and everything.

Proverbs 13:20, “Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm.” So if we’re surrounder by wise man, we will become one of them. Because we will be motivated to grow and be better like them. Vice versa.

That’s the reason of God forbid Israel to marry other nations, because marriage is the smallest circle in our life. So their habit, without us realizin, will be our habit. That’s why God said, that if they marry another nation, they will fall into sin, worship another god and do detestable thing.

HELLO

Hey, this is my first post. I wanna tell you something. God did something big today and I’m so grateful for it.

I just learned yesterday, while accidentally (not really, I know it’s Your work right hehe) click and watch Ps Henny’s sermon. She said, that once you get underestimated, actually that’s your chance to soar higher. Why?

Because God promise us in 1 Cor 1:27, “But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.” And I trust that all God’s promise were meant to be done!

It doesn’t matter what people say, and how they treat me. His strong right hands will held me and strengthen me along the way. He will bless me with all supplication of Heaven. He knows exactly what I need, and how to mold me to make me a better person.

Please teach me and strengthen me to respond rightly. Thankyou, God. I love You, Father.
