*+_Praise † Grace_+*

In the times of trouble, I hope I can be like Job, keep singing Him praise! He kept me strong and His grace is enough! How I can keep from singing Your praise LORD! There is an endless song Echoes in my soul I hear the music ring And though the storms may come I am holding on To the rock I cling How can I keep from singing Your praise How can I ever say enough How amazing is Your love How can I keep from shouting Your name I know I am loved by the King And it makes my heart want to sing I will lift my eyes In the darkest night For I know my Savior lives And I will walk with You Knowing You'll see me through And sing the songs You give How can I keep from singing your praise? How can I ever say enough, how amazing is your love? How can I keep from shouting your name? I know I am loved by the king, and it makes my heart want to sing I can sing in the troubled times Sing when I win I can sing when I lose my step And fall down again I can sing 'cause You pick me up Sing 'cause

Breeze blew by, Your fragrant hair smooth as silk, Swiped by my sweaty cheek. We walked by, Of laughter, Of jokes, I thought we were happy. I was longing, But my hands are in my pocket, It makes no difference, With you walking by my side...

We were all happily chit-chatting (or yelling) at grandma’s house. My second aunt suggested that we go to one of her cousin’s house to visit them but unfortunately the cousin wasn’t at home so we had to cancel it. Then I suggested to visit my youngest aunt’s house with the urge to play some mahjong. My intention was to play only, I did not intend to involve money. We drove there in 3 separate cars with me fetching my sister only. As we reached there we got everything ready, the mahjong table, chairs and of course, the mahjong. I couldn’t wait for my elder cousin to come and join me for a 3-Players Cantonese Mahjong. Just to make it fun, I (while being a Christian) suggested to involve money. This is where the problem starts. I feel pride arise. Holy Spirit was prompting me not to play with money, in fact, the mahjong at all. But I ignored it on purpose but seek selfish desire for pleasure and greed. I won around RM10 with starting fund RM13. But I also get the sense of guilt.

I went through a spiritual stagnant for the pass few months. No sharing of Gospel, no spiritual venture, no prayer, no reading of scripture. You know, I just feel...lazy. I thought prayer would not work anymore, sin has always been the thing that brought me up and down. But God is that faithful, that He answered all my prayers in just one day! (Except for the girlfriend one.) I prayed that my faith would be strengthen , my walk with Him will be more exciting , the Holy Spirit will give me power that He promised , that He will give me authority , that I will have success in glorifying His name , that the CF convention will be a success , that He will feed us enough during the CF convention , that I will have enough money to pay for both CF convention and Chinese Culture Christlike Living Semina r . In just one day, God showed "5 loaves 2 fish" right in front of my eyes . He gave me to power to speak boldly. He revealed to me that I already have the power of the Holy Spirit as
