Celebration of Discipline

I've been really free, free to do things that I've been wanting to do but have not manage to have enough time for it. Like sleeping, listening to many many online sermons, read books, playing my favourite music, do some soul searching & drinking my favourite orange juice & milk. Many told me that at this last stage of pregancy, mothers-to-be usually have pre-natal depression, so I've been consciously trying to occupy myself by doing my favourite things.

First of all, I must thank God for His grace & mercy, that He finally answer my prayer - a prayer that only He & me know, very intimate but frees me indeed. I know Abba Father is forever faithful to His children. Now I feel great sense of liberty cuz I know things will turn out for good at the end. With God, ALL things are possible.

I re-read a book written by one of my favourite author, Richard Foster's, Celebration of Discipline. A very impactful book, that whenever I stare at the book, I can already feel it's annointing! Let me quote the 1st para of the 1st chapter, "Superficiality is the curse of our age. The doctrine of instant satisfaction is a primary spiritual problem. The desperate need today is not for a greater number of intelligent people, or gifted people, but for deep people". How true is this!!! In our world today, there are just too many christians who profess they are christians, but many of these only have good knowledge of who God is, but few of them actually KNOW WHO GOD IS in their personal ways. "In our enthusiasm to practice Disciplines, we may fail to practise discipline....we have only one thing to do, namely, to experience a life of relationship and intimacy with God.". Totally agree!

Mr Foster speaks much truth that not many leaders dare to, and I respect that. The truth, nothing but the truth should be it. Our lives depends on how we live. Living in truths should be our destiny. Launch into the deep my friends, as Psalm 42:7, "Deep calls to deep"....

Let's stop pretending, as if we know the world & His plan well. Let's seek Him continually, dwelling in His truth, counting on Him, carrying out His mission for us in this life. We only have 1 life, live it to the fullest, seize every opportunity to do good!
