verses read: Ecclesiastes 12
prayer: 10 minutes
There is meaning to everything after all. The central trust of this book is that everything in this world is meaningless. The pursuit of riches, of wisdom, of achievements are all meaningless unless they have the right focus in mind; and that is God.
Like what the speaker at FT said a few days ago, the things that we have of this world are not the end; but the means to an end. And all things end with God; that’s where we are going at the end of it all. So all the riches I have, I cannot take it to heaven. Same goes for all my possessions and wisdom, and intellect, anything; all cannot go to heaven. And so, fear God; and obey His Word. Then we will see why w have been given so many blessings in this life.
I guess life is starting to take a turn for the better for me. Which God told me would happen as Chinese New Year approaches. Reading the book of Ecclesiastes has put back some meaning in my life; preparing me to re-enter the frontline ministry again. What will life after that hold for me? 4 more months of waiting and praying before something new happens. But I will fear the Lord and continue to listen to His commands; for that is the beginning of wisdom.
Finished re-typing my thesis. Took 5 days! Going to try get some new material done; going to jump straight to the main theorems to save time. Then work on the other remaining results if time allows. I have a feeling my thesis is going to be quite short. But well, it’s okay.
There is SG tonight; KW will be taking over for today. I on the other hand have to leave halfway. Which is good, what I want to see in this SG is everyone taking ownership and rising up as new leaders in the YM. I want to move on; just that God hasn’t called me to move on yet.
