Psalm 139
O LORD, you have searched me
and you know me.
You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
Before a word is on my tongue
you know it completely, O LORD.
You hem me in—behind and before;
you have laid your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain.
Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.
This is one of my favourite Psalm. It tells me how wonderful my God is and how He knows me and loves me! God is omniscience; He k-n-o-w-s all things. He knows the secret thoughts in my heart and is familiar with all my ways; even before a word is on my tongue, He knew it already! How awesome! God is omnipresence; He is e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e, I can never run away from Him! God is omnipotence, He can do all things; nothing is impossible for Him!
My God is a God of blessings and I have many sweet encounters of His wonderful blessings. I took pictures of the blessings to record what He has been doing for me and the most recent one was the Sugar-Roll-Blessing :)
Sugar roll is my favourite! That afternoon when I went past the bakery shop during lunch hour, I was eyeing their sugar roll. It used to be $0.80 per piece, but now it is $0.90, an increase of 10cents. I know it's not much, but I just couldn't bring myself to buy it for my own indulgence. I need to spend less for my children's sake. So I walked away with saliva pooling in my mouth, haha! Then, back in the office, to my pleasantest(if there's ever such a word) surprise, my colleague, Max, came over to my desk and gave me this:
He said, "Nahh, give you half, I can't finish all." HUH?! He couldn't finish it all? Such a small piece of sugar roll, and which man could only manage to eat half of it?! I was speechless! WOW! I made myself a cup of coffee and savour every little bite of my precious sugar-roll-half :)
MORE from last year:
July 2008. I told Philip that I suddenly developed a strong liking in green apple flavour Vitagen, but it seems like they only sell all purple grapes flavour in a pack which is more popular. I wonder they ever sell green apple flavour in a pack.... Then we forgot about our conversation. During that same week, when the Vitagen auntie came knocking on our door in the afternoon, instead of taking out 2 mixed-flavour packs which we usually would buy from her, she took this out and asked Philip whether he fancy to buy all green apple flavour Vitagen pack:
I came home to this wonderful surprise and I just have to snap a picture of my all-green-apple-flavour-Vitagen-pack! :)
August 2008. It was near mid-autumn festival and I was thinking of eating a green-tea red bean paste mooncake on my way to work. Then I saw it in the office pantry!! Can you see the round redbean paste embraced by the green-tea flavoured paste covered with brown skin?!
I was so touched that I was near crying when I carefully sink my teeth in... what more could I ask?
Nov 2008. Xmas came early when everywhere you turned you could hear either the jinggling song or the dreaming song, lol! I love fruit cakes, top with icing please! My favourite desert of the season. And I have it again, in the pantry again!
No icing this time but almond slice, why not? I like crunchie almonds too! :)
Dec 2008. Went to work without taking my breakfast. A female colleague, Juliana, came to my desk and with two hands she presented me this nutricious beancurd in soya milk by Mr bean:
Either she bought extra or she didn't feel like taking breakfast. She never tell me why, just said, "Eat lah." haha! Thank you, Juli! And thank YOU, God :)
CNY 2009. Usually my colleagues would bring the goodies, that they couldn't finish, to the office so we could help them clear the stock, but to have difficulty in finishing the ever-popular cum expensive BBQ pork slice and the ever-crsipy prawn roll?? Can't be! But it was so:
Here is a song composed using the words from Psalm 139, Simply beautiful! I like to listen to it over and over again, and think about my wonderful, wonderful GOD!
主耶和華，你已經鑒察了我。
我坐下，我起來，你都已曉得。
我行路，我躺臥，你都細察，
你也深知我一切所行。
我舌頭上的話，你沒有一句不知道。
你在我前後環繞著我，按手在我身上。
這樣的奇妙，是我不能測透，
你的至高你的尊貴，是我永遠不能所及。
我可以往哪裡去躲避你的靈？
我可以往哪裡去逃，可躲避你的面？
我若展開清晨的翅膀飛到地極，就在那裡，
你的雙手也必引導我。
