He never let go, let's press on until that day comes
Praise be to God who will bring His promises to pass. He will come to redeem His people. He will bring His people out of bondage. If we keep pressing in. Keep abiding in His word. Keep holding on to this faith.
There will be such a day. All the Earth will declare that our Lord is the Lord of all. We walk by faith and not by sight. Christ is our hope.
Matt Redman - You Never Let Go
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Your perfect love is casting out fear
And even when I’m caught in the middle of the storms of this life
I won’t turn back I know You are near
And I will fear no evil
For my God is with me
And if my God is with me
Whom then shall I fear?
Whom then shall I fear?
Chorus:
Oh no, You never let go
Through the calm and through the storm
Oh no, You never let go
In every high and every low
Oh no, You never let go
Lord, You never let go of me
And I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on
A glorious light beyond all compare
And there will be an end to these troubles
But until that day comes
We’ll live to know You here on the earth
Chorus:
Yes, I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on
And there will be an end to these troubles
But until that day comes
Still I will praise You, still I will praise You
Going through difficulties in life
Seems like everyone are feeling stressed up. Midterms have just ended.. (well not all..) but most, yea.. but the exams are coming again. The semester is coming to an end again. Everyone are getting stressed up because of piling work, tutorials, things to catch up, projects.. I was also in that state. Worrying about the tasks that I have to complete.
Yesterday morning I was feeling really really stressed up because I was THINKING OF ALL THE THINGS THAT I HAVE TO DO. Well.. It's true what Jesus says.. "Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?" (NKJV) or in New Living Translation "Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?"This word came so true to me now. All that worrying DOESN'T BRING ME ANYWHERE. I am supposed to be focused on the things I can do. The things that I can do at the moment. It's amazing how all the workload can get us all stressed-up and make us less efficient in completing our tasks..
I must say that without God, that morning I would have been feeling very down and more stressed as the day pass. But my mom called.. although I almost argued with her, but I did not have anymore strength left to argue with her and I see no purpose in it. Not that we had a big argument. It was just the small little things. But I thank God that our relationship did not go bad at all. In fact it brought us closer. I asked her to pray for me.. asked her again and again to pray for me. Because I was faithless... hopeless.. just couldn't see the light. So she prayed for me over the phone. And really.. miraculously.. after sometime later, I actually questioned myself.. why was I even so stressed up in the morning??? I was really feeling the peace to do my work!!! It was a REAL FEELING!!! I am not exaggerating at all. I could really went to do the rest of my work. And actually it was good time spent on studies!
I studied in spinelli at first, with some church mates. It was great having some cookies and coffee. I ordered cookie spin.. And it wasn't expensive.. Then I went studying at YIH. It's really cool and quiet in that place at night time. I really could study really well. I was studying signals upto chapter 5! In just a few hours. Amazing! And today, I managed to wire all my chips (I mean IC chips in digital design).. Now left with debugging part. Thank God. Couldn't have done it without Him.
I must also say that AN ENCOURAGEMENT GOES A LONG WAY. Thank you mommy for giving me the encouragement to study. And thanks for all who have prayed for me.. and thanks for people who have encouraged me through the Word throughout this week. Even a little encouragement goes a long way. I hope God can use me to encourage others who are stressed up... It's really nice to know that you've encouraged someone because they will be able to pick themselves up from the pit and carry on walking in strength. Jesus is the great Encourager. Really must thank Jesus for sending me all these people to encourage me. And thank Him most importantly for His Word in the bible that never fails! He says that although the world may pass away but His word will never pass away! Such wonderful promise that I can fully rely on!
So, friends, if you are feeling down... Pray to Jesus... Share your struggles with someone.. Read His word... Praise Him and sing Him a song.. then you will feel much much much better..
Thank you God.

I see the morning glory
It winds upon the tree
It tells the untold story of how things were meant to be
You saw the universe
Caught up in desperate dreams
You came and changed the ending
Changed it to save my fate
You led the revolution
You left your legacy
Embraced the struggle in the face of mortality
I know I'm not alone in this
Help me believe
I can be free
I can be free from this place
Beautiful healer
Beautiful grace
Help me to see
Everything fall into place
Wake me from dreaming
No more deceiving
Break these chains
It's still the same old story
This great divide
Between the want and waste
And all the hunger inside
I heard the news today
Now I'm trying to find my place
I'm just a single voice
What can I do to erase
All this misunderstanding
All this anarchy
Six degrees of separation
Sometimes it's so hard to see
That we are not alone in this
I need to believe
I can be free
I can be free from this place
Beautiful healer
Beautiful grace
Help me to see
Everything fall into place
Wake me from dreaming
No more deceiving
Break these chains
