We are wonderfully made by GOD

As I consider all these wonderful things God made, I am awestruck. All Glory to His Name!
1) The numbers of chromosomes and cells, DNA etc
2) Types of blood, red and white, positive and negative, A B O AB etc
3) Hairs on our body. When the hairs on our heads turn white, so do our eyebrows, side burns and goatees.
4) Types of teeth for various functions etc. Even our wisdom teeth.
5) The extras in our bodies - like the appendix and extra fingers or toes.
6) Bones in our body - even the ear-bone and skull.
7) How our bodies take in/absorb and then later discharge/give out like water, food,air. At times, even feelings like love and wisdom of words.
8) Amazing body parts like nails, ear-lobes with no blood vessels (so that you can wear ear-rings) and also our skin.
9) Colours of our skin, hair, eyes. We also have spots, dimples and birth-marks.
The list is not exhausting.

God Is So Good

This morning I witnessed a scene which really makes me so in awe of GOD's goodness, kindness, love and patience He has with this children, especially the Hebrews in the desert.
I was at the coffee-shop with my son having breakfast. A man was complaining and grumbling to his friend about how a local telco firm has overcharged him for something he did not use. Worse, he was using all the foul and 4-letters words that hurt my ears. A woman who was trying to help advised him to go direct to the company and asked for proof of his usuage of this service. Again he poured out all sorts of words not meant for the ears. Worst, he even scolded the father and his son (MM AND 2nd SON) for being greedy for even such a small sum of his money. At this point I was very angry. Such rudeness, ungratefulness and disrespect to our MM Lee!
As I went for my morning walk at the nearby park later, I quiet down. God shows me just how He felt towards the grumblings and complaints of the Hebrews in the desert. God has done so much for them out of His great love but yet what He got in return was ungratefulness and complaints. But God forgives them each time they repented and called to Him in their distress. He completely forgets and forgives them of all their sins. How great Thou art! All glory to HIM

DO NOT FRET! JUST PRAY!

Now that there are more ladies in the BSF, it would be really amazing if we can be dismissed on time. Yesterday's lecture was very inspiring and long. The lecturer apologised that she would have to take up some of our time. True enough, when I reached the bus-stop, it was eleven minutes after 11am. I need to rush to work and reach office by 12:00pm (lunch time for my colleague) and he has to eat on time as he is suffering from gastric problems. So I prayed to the Lord and said I wished to reach office before 12:00pm today. After a few minutes, bus 157 came. I would have preferred the other buses as they do not ply the housing estate. But since I have prayed and the bus 157 came, I just boarded it. The journey will take a while, so I took out a book and started reading. Just as I thought, the bus stopped at almost all the stops. I concentrated on reading instead of fretting. Just as I reached the depot (at the junction) I saw bus 79 at the traffic lights - which meant I have just missed the bus that take me to the office! But I trusted the Lord, and true enough a few minutes another bus 79 came along and I reached the office ten minutes before 12pm
How could this be? I don't know but I know God is good. Praise the Lord, all glory goes to HIM.

Coincidence Or God' Divine Intervention

I was trading on ebay for quite a while but after several months of 'dryness', I stopped. Just a few days ago, a friend called me asking me some questions relating to ebay and inquired whether I am still trading. Since I stopped only for a while but still with the interest, I said yes. Thus I went into my account to just check it out. Guess what? An interested buyer wanted to buy a few books from me and he sent me the message on 31/12/2010. If I had not gone into the account, I would not be able to retrieve the message after 90 days! What is amazing is he is a very sincere buyer and really wants to know more about the LORD. He is very interested in more books which I am able to recommend him - to meet his needs and requirements at this point in his walk with Christ!
I am convinced both my friend and I were God's instruments to help this brother in Christ. All glory to God. His ways are definitely much higher!

GIVE GOD ALL YOUR CONCERNS

Recently a friend called me and said that she will sent her dog for a surgery. Her daughter loves this old dog very much but it had failed all the preliminary tests for an operation the previous year. She wondered whether we can pray for our pets, so I told her that we can just go to Papa God with all our concerns.
A week later, she shared that this dog managed to pass all the tests (marginally) before it's allowed for surgery. All the family members and the vet. were amazed. The vet asked her what she had done for the dog. My friend is convinced that God answered her prayers. All glory to God!

Just yesterday I went to this health product shop to get some supplements etc. My friend asked me to get her a bottle of shampoo. I would love to give her the eco-friendly bag as she often helps me to meet the minimum point of 35. But in order to get this bag I need to get 37 points - but my list for that day is only 35 points. I actually contemplated to get 1 small item to make up to 37 points, but decided against it as these 2 points cost more than a bag. So I talked to God about my heart's desire. God is very good and gives me my desire! The lady in front of the Q was not able to give an account number of a member - she tried a few numbers but the computer threw out these numbers as ex-members. So she asked me whether she can use my number, and of course I agreed. Thus I was able to get more than 37 points and a bag for my friend! Praise the Lord, He is so good to those who trust and believe in Him. All glory to His Name!

GOD'S FAVOUR

Recently I won an i-pad at an annual dinner. It happened like this. When the first prize number was called, no one came forward to claim the i-pad. So the committee decided to call another number, and my number was called. Later there were people who felt that this prize should belong to the original 'winner', that though he/she was not around to claim it, it should belong the him/her.

A week later I was buying some products from a health-products company and was given 3 lucky draw tickets. The first prize was also an i-pad. The counter girl however stressed that I have to be at the store when the draw was taking place. If not, even if my number should win the first prize, it will be forfeited as I was not there to claim it.

This makes me think. As the original winner was at the dinner that night, why didn't he claim the i-pad. He must have either gone home or gone out for a while (to the toilet perhaps or make a phone call). To me, this is not a co-incident. I think God wants to surprise me with a present. Because He loves me. Amen
