Food

As i was walking home from school just now, my stomach was like very hungry...
I was thinking about eating maggie mee with egg for lunch...haha=)
I started to think about me, going home and doing the daily routine of eating and watching tv, then tired already then go and sleep then wake up, hungry again, then eat again, then full then go to sleep...it is always like that for my case..what i do at home is eat, sleep, watch tv and use the com..

I realise that no matter how much i eat, no matter how full i can become from eating, i will still get hungry again!
A thought came into my mind, the "Bible is our spiritual food" and "man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God."
It is saying that the bible is like a food source, the bible is your food..
And no one can survive without food...everyone will just die without food after a few days..
My uncle told me this in chinese during the chinese new year!
He said, "wo men ren jiu shi zhe yang, chi bao ler jiu shui, shui bao ler jiu chi!"
Which means that human beings are like that, we eat already then sleep, sleep already then eat again..
I realise that the physical food that we eat, we can never be full and satisfied like forever...
However, the food we consume from the bible being a neccessity lasts forever..
Because the bible holds God's promises which lasts forever!

Another way of interpreting this is that we have to yearn for God's word from the bible...
Just like we get hungry and is in need of food after a while, we need to get hungry for God's word!
Just like how animals and people search and hunt for food when they are hungry, we must search and yearn for God's word every single day!

There is something that i learnt from the cj prayer group today (known as the SHOP! (school house of prayers)) is that the reason why we christians do quiet time and read God's word is not because we are christians then it is compulsory to do it..
It is not because we want to gain some blessings from God then we do..
It is simply because God is God, and we love him, his love overflows within us, thats why we do it!

Actually the reason why i talk about this today is that through the CNY period, i realise how important it is to know God's word well...
Inorder to let the word master you, you got to first master the word!
We are just like soldiers going out for a battle with the world out there...We cannot battle and win the battle without any weapons and equipments right?
So, the only way to win the battle is to be fully equipt!
There was once su hui jie prayed for me, she said, "God gave me a vision, you are like a tree that wants to bear fruit, however, your roots are placed in loose soil."
Through the many spiritual attacks that i had from my uncles and cousin,
i realised one thing, i got to grow deeper in God's word and know more about God's word...
I tend to use my own understanding and what i know like little bits and pieces from the bible to "fight" this spiritual battle with them..
So, obviously i will lose right!!!
I will get rebutted and pushed back easily...somemore i was relying on my own strength to fight in the spiritual realm...not on God's.

So, are you willing to read more on God's word and spend more time upon what he has to say and has planned out for you?
Set time aside, have FAITH (forsake all, i trust him) because you love him for who he is...^^

God bless you!
