Wrestling Before God
Take up the whole armor of God . . . praying always . . . —Ephesians 6:13,18
You must learn to wrestle against the things that hinder your communication with God, and wrestle in prayer for other people; but to wrestle with God in prayer is unscriptural. If you ever do wrestle with God, you will be crippled for the rest of your life. If you grab hold of God and wrestle with Him, as Jacob did, simply because He is working in a way that doesn’t meet with your approval, you force Him to put you out of joint (see Genesis 32:24-25 ). Don’t become a cripple by wrestling with the ways of God, but be someone who wrestles before God with the things of this world, because "we are more than conquerors through Him . . ." ( Romans 8:37 ). Wrestling before God makes an impact in His kingdom. If you ask me to pray for you, and I am not complete in Christ, my prayer accomplishes nothing. But if I am complete in Christ, my prayer brings victory all the time. Prayer is effective only when there is completeness— "take up the whole armor of God . . . ."
Always make a distinction between God’s perfect will and His permissive will, which He uses to accomplish His divine purpose for our lives. God’s perfect will is unchangeable. It is with His permissive will, or the various things that He allows into our lives, that we must wrestle before Him. It is our reaction to these things allowed by His permissive will that enables us to come to the point of seeing His perfect will for us. "We know that all things work together for good to those who love God . . ." ( Romans 8:28 )— to those who remain true to God’s perfect will— His calling in Christ Jesus. God’s permissive will is the testing He uses to reveal His true sons and daughters. We should not be spineless and automatically say, "Yes, it is the Lord’s will." We don’t have to fight or wrestle with God, but we must wrestle before God with things. Beware of lazily giving up. Instead, put up a glorious fight and you will find yourself empowered with His strength.

HAHA! but everythings not finalised la, praying that the BA guy will go have negotiations with the union so then the strikes will be delayed, thats what one of the latest reports say. but mm, Daddy will see me home im sure=) ive got loadsa people waiting for me at home, cant disappoint them and i miss them all loads. so yups, im definitely coming back=) my christmas presents, parties, food, outings... IM COMING BACK TO CLAIM THEM ALL WAHAHA!=P
today, officially, 3 papers down! calculus left on friday, meimeis birthday=D linear algebra today went really well, but ok la, shall not be over confident hehe! really thank God for that, cos i only started studying for linear algebra like on saturday? before that i was focusing on my papers that could get me exemptions from CT1 and CT3 of the actuarial exams. so yups. linear algebras just a basic module, so i didnt bother much. pretty much i'd classify this as 'i didnt study' cos browsing through my notes and tutorials and not exactly practising them was what i considered as study. ive come to realise in university, u dont really have time to study for exams hur? cos they finish teaching only 1-2 weeks before exams? well ok, constant revision>.- i only did my constant tutorials which comes along with revision for that chapter, then im slacking all the way through the rest of the day le haha! pretty much slacking like crap here, wayyy different from how i was back in singapore. think its because of the less stress and competition here, so i can study lesser and slack off a bit=P in a way, its good=) im not complaining other than the fact that its pretty sian cos theres nothing much to do around here hehe!
but yups, im gonna start on calculus tomorrow. im pretty confident of calculus cos its my favourite branch of mathematics. the only thing i gotta study is probably convergence test and real analysis, if u guys even know what im talking about haha!>.- so yups, 3.5 days of studying for calculus, hopefully i dont under prepare for it.
mm ok, i cant think of anymore updates about my life right now. cos the routine of me just staying in my room studying or slackings the same? the only reason why i'll leave my room now is to eat or go for my papers, otherwise its off grocery shopping, which i just went. which reminds me.. BEN AND JERRYS AND HAAGENDAZ IS HAVING SALE AGAIN WOOTS! I TOTALLY BOUGHT TWO STINKING TUBS OF BEN AND JERRYS EVEN THOUGH IM ONLY LEFT WITH 10 DAYS HERE HEHE! SWEEEEET~ anyways, heres what my routine slacking consist of: laptop (facebooking, blogging OCCASIONALLY, anime, movies, songs, talking to people online), psp-ing (im on finaly fantasy dissidia now), sleeping, reading korkors 'masters of battle' and parts of 'finding God in harvard' from matthew. thats about it i think HAHA!>.-
mm ok. thats probably about all? oohs! upcoming events! hehe! this saturday, its livingston for crrrrrrazy shopping! at nights theres christmas party. sundays town for shopping again (if i cant get them all in livingston) and german cafe and seafoodie mussels!=D tuesday 22nd im flying home, land on 23rd evening singapore time=) then presumably im gonna have an all night attack when i touch down>.- 24ths korkors and joshuas christmas party at night. 25ths obviously christmas, the events will just run for that day, no need plan de muha! 26th supposedly going to make specs with dingdong korkor. 27th, erm.. maybe i should go out with becks (my sister) haha! 28th, theres something i think, but i cant remember>.- 29ths an all day eat and talk with pham st hl panty n mrchua (hopefully)! cant wait for 30th, FOOD SPLENDOR with shawn in malacca=D 1st jan, meetup with chingay people, house warming, tangsookyis birthday. and then, i cant be bothered to plan so far ahead already haha! but the remaining time goes obviously to mummy becks and bestest best friend=D

The Great Life
Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled . . . —John 14:27
Whenever we experience something difficult in our personal life, we are tempted to blame God. But we are the ones in the wrong, not God. Blaming God is evidence that we are refusing to let go of some disobedience somewhere in our lives. But as soon as we let go, everything becomes as clear as daylight to us. As long as we try to serve two masters, ourselves and God, there will be difficulties combined with doubt and confusion. Our attitude must be one of complete reliance on God. Once we get to that point, there is nothing easier than living the life of a saint. We encounter difficulties when we try to usurp the authority of the Holy Spirit for our own purposes.
God’s mark of approval, whenever you obey Him, is peace. He sends an immeasurable, deep peace; not a natural peace, "as the world gives," but the peace of Jesus. Whenever peace does not come, wait until it does, or seek to find out why it is not coming. If you are acting on your own impulse, or out of a sense of the heroic, to be seen by others, the peace of Jesus will not exhibit itself. This shows no unity with God or confidence in Him. The spirit of simplicity, clarity, and unity is born through the Holy Spirit, not through your decisions. God counters our self-willed decisions with an appeal for simplicity and unity.
My questions arise whenever I cease to obey. When I do obey God, problems come, not between me and God, but as a means to keep my mind examining with amazement the revealed truth of God. But any problem that comes between God and myself is the result of disobedience. Any problem that comes while I obey God (and there will be many), increases my overjoyed delight, because I know that my Father knows and cares, and I can watch and anticipate how He will unravel my problems.

"You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it salty again? It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless. You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father"
-Matthew 5: 13-16
