  • Walk in the Light

    May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.-Psalm 19:14

    Hey there peeps, this psalm here is where i ponder a lot as i click on a website. Many times in life we all do and does sins. Each day without failing we do things that somehow it sins. DO not tell me I did not. I do I admit. Each of us does. Each day no matter how holy we are, we do sin. Each day before I end my day, I often ask god to forgive me for all my wrongs. Forgive me for all the things that I had done that is not favourable to His eyes.

    See, I guess all of us here take things for granted each day. We know that Jesus has die and rose again and yes praise the Lord for that because we know all our sins and all our shame has been forgiven. Thank God for this grace and this salvation. But does it means that we can continue to be sinful and sins among people around us? Some may say, we can confess and god will forgive. Yes, He does. But is this all about it? Does it make sense? So what different are we as Christians, as a believer of Christ? We all are nothing but the darkness. In Matthew 5:13-14 it says, we are the Light and the Salt of the earth. How on earth can we lead the darkness? We do not even have the Light though we did. We did not even practice it.

    The bible also tells us that, we are a new creation, the old has gone, the new has come- 2 Corinthians 5:17. If we continue to sins against others and ourselves, does it brings any difference? I don’t see any. See, we are all a different person. The old has gone. It is deleted. We are gonna start our life again. The book of life once we had long time is a past. Now we are starting off with a new book, a new chapter.  We start from chapter 1. A book where our life will be different from the past. We are a new creation!

    In Galatians 3:26-27, you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. Look we are all God’s children. I believe many of us know of a word that sounds a lil like this: How the children react is depends on how the parents.  We are all the same. We were once new born babies. We were train and taught by our parents. How we are today is influenced by our parents. Likewise here, we are God’s children. By Him we call Abba Father. Since we are all his children, how we react is actually reflects on Him. People will see us, the way we act, the way we show love, the way we care and our inner personalities. Trust me. Many people are watching us. And by watching us, they will know whether we are the Disciples of Christ. It is by observation they will judge us.  Yes the bible says, do not judge or you too will be judge.-Matthew 7:1. I did not ask us to judge, but if you do notice and do observe the world. The world is actually watching us. We all make mistakes we are human not robot. We are not programme to be perfect and we will never be perfect because we are not. That’s why we need God.  What makes us stray away? One of them is temptations. Jesus was once tempted 3 times by Satan. But what happen? Did Jesus fall into the trap? No. He did not.-Matthew 4:1-11.  The main reason Jesus did not fall into the Satan’s trap is because Jesus know the word in His heart. Do we know the word in our heart? Do we spend time with God and remember scriptures? In 1 Corinthians10:13, no temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it. There is no temptation that God cannot bear. It is whether we wanna give in or not.

    Again, this is my prayer, may the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.-Psalm 19:14.

    I challenge all of you here to walk in the Light, to read His word, to meditate upon the Word and understand it.  I also challenge all of us here; include me to obey His word daily and not just for a day or two. Honour Him and He will honour you.
