Recently while reading the Ex 3 , I was brought back by God to the encounter of Moses with God in the burning bush.
"5 Then He said, “Do not draw near this place. Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground.”
6 Moreover He said, “I am the God of your father—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look upon God."
- Ex 3:5-6
Why did God ask Moses to remove his sandals? Because Moses was standing on Holy Ground. Other than a removing his sandals to show reverence for a Holy God, I believe with all my heart that God wanted Moses to 'feel' His Holiness with Moses' bare skin not just through another medium.
God spoke to me again recently with this story, His gentle urging is always there. To edge and draw us closer to Him. He constantly says "Come My child, feel me today, let's enjoy this time tgt."
God also told me to remove my 'sandals of life' 'sandals of busyness.' in the midst of a fast-paced lifestyle here in Singapore, we got to remove those sandals.
Sandals are not slippers. They are easy to take off, difficult to wear. I felt God impressing in my heart, so clearly, I want you to take off your sandals and take your time, don't be in a hurry to leave. Come and fellowship and stay.
God is really a relational God. He never forces us against our will, but He will win us and woo us over. Like a zealous lover and persuer.
This is my God
This is our God

What Can I Do?
Paul Baloche - What Can I Do
When I see the beauty of a sunset's glory,
Amazing artistry across the evening sky
When I feel the mystery of a distant galaxy
It awes and humbles me to be loved
by a God so high
Amazing artistry across the evening sky
When I feel the mystery of a distant galaxy
It awes and humbles me to be loved
by a God so high
Chorus:
What can I do but thank You,
What can I do but give my life to You
Hallelujah, hallelujah
What can I do but praise You,
Everyday make everything I do a hallelujah
A hallelujah, hallelujah
Verse 2:
When I hear the story of a God of mercy
Who shared humanity and suffered by our side
Of the cross they nailed You to, that could not hold You
Now You're making all things new by the power
Of Your risen life
What can I do but thank You,
What can I do but give my life to You
Hallelujah, hallelujah
What can I do but praise You,
Everyday make everything I do a hallelujah
A hallelujah, hallelujah
Verse 2:
When I hear the story of a God of mercy
Who shared humanity and suffered by our side
Of the cross they nailed You to, that could not hold You
Now You're making all things new by the power
Of Your risen life

pop lo
Owing to the Grace of God, I finally pop-ed.
Throughout this 13 weeks. I have learnt so much more.
Truly, the Bible has taught us to be wise as serpents but as gentle as doves.
This is really the verse that carried me throughout the 13 weeks.
Many times, I did stupid things but God really brought me out of the fire because of the wisdom He gave.
4 types of ppl can be found (Christians included)
1 Wise as Serpents and not gentle like a dove.
This ppl are the scariest. They are the type that what the Chinese calls as 心机.
They can be your best friend for now, but turn ur back and you find a knife in your back.
2. Not as wise as a serpent but gentle as a dove.
They are great ppl to hang out with. They are what we always feel that they are very pure.
But never will they have a powerful impact in many things. And they often look clueless.
But this are the ppl whose hearts will always be open for God to touch them and change their lives. Give them the wisdom that they need.
3. NOT wise, NOT gentle.
Hallelujah.. They are the typical ah beng figures. Usually they are the loudmouth ones.

(The quotation, "As empty vessels make the loudest sound, so they that have the least wit are the greatest blabbers," is from the Greek philosopher Plato.)
They will always boast of their affiliations with this group and that group.. BUT they are usually the foot soldiers that gets exploited.
4. Matthew 10:16 (BBE)
This is the verse that reminds me of what to do. With this, we will be more like Jesus. This is how He cared for the multitudes, how He even rebuke the pharisees. This is the Jesus' way.

ptp
Amen.. This Sunday marks the 3rd week of my NS life and man,
this 2 weeks felt long yet short at the same time.
I know that I'm not as fit as most ppl and the physical training phase is really killing me.
Ran for more than 10km in 2 days, its really no joke.
Many times while doing push-ups or crunches,
I will look up to the sky and cry out to God in pain.
And man, really need God more than ever.
I was telling Him one day while doing push-ups, "God, strengthen me! I need You."
But He just replied, and I sensed a smile from Him, "Don't worry son, My grace is more than enough for you."

Thru my deepest valley and over my highest mountain
My God, my Lord, You are always there
Nothing is ever too small, or too big in Your sight
You shape all things with Your hands of love
Even as Your sheep strays away from Your flock
Your Staff and Rod guides me back to Your side
How can I ever thank You
My Savior, My Salvation
My Healer, My Comforter
My Lord, My God
My Jesus
My God, my Lord, You are always there
Nothing is ever too small, or too big in Your sight
You shape all things with Your hands of love
Even as Your sheep strays away from Your flock
Your Staff and Rod guides me back to Your side
How can I ever thank You
My Savior, My Salvation
My Healer, My Comforter
My Lord, My God
My Jesus

SCDF
I'm going to NS soon.
Its next Tuesday (7th July).
Its next Tuesday (7th July).
Excited, yet apprehensive.
Felt ready for the challenge, yet uncertain of what lies ahead.
Going to Jalan Bahar Camp for Singapore Civil Defense Force.
Should I go for the Firefighter, paramedic or other vocations??
What Lies ahead? I don't know.
But one thing I know,
“ For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,” says the LORD.
“ For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts."
-Is 55:8-9
