Great is the Lord

We stand amazed at Your greatness.  We marvel at Your wondrous deeds.  We revel in Your love.  How could a great God dwell in common man.  You have made us Your habitation.  You choose to work through broken vessels.  You choose to work through our frail and weak bodies.  You choose to work through our imperfections.  How great is our God! 

You remain faithful though we are faithless at times.  You prod us on and direct our heart back to Your Unfailing love.  You challenge us to trust You as we focus on You.  Everything else may collapse but as long as You are with us.  We are on rock solid ground.  We are safe and secure.  We see the light at the end of the tunnel.  We have hope.

His Healing Grace

My mum who is in her 70's has some health challenges for many years now.  There was a period of time when her blood pressure was perpetually high.  The doctor kept tweaking the dosage of her medication.  For months on end, the problem persisted.  The situation was weighing on my heart as her persistently high blood pressure may affect her health adversely.

Daily, I will plead the blood of Jesus to heal her.  I pray that the healing power of God will flow from the top of her head to the sole of her feet.  I pray for God to perform a miracle.  My mother is not a Christian but she is open for prayer.

A couple of month ago, the doctor was running through my mum's blood test result with me.  He said that her kidneys, liver, cholesterol and blood sugar are good.  Recent bone density test for osteoporosis came back good too.  Her blood pressure was normal now.  My mum and I were overjoyed.

Praise be to God.  I shared with my mum that I believe God had healed her.  I saw the joy and excitement in her eyes.

God can touch our loved ones.  His hand is never too short.  The balm of Gilead is released as we pray in faith.  God's love and power is available for all who believe.  He reaches out to us and comes to our rescue.  There is absolutely nothing He cannot do. 

The Miracle of Life

The miracle of life
God's shining glory
The miracle of life
Every breath comes from You
The miracle of life
In You we live and move
And have our being
The miracle of life
Radiating Your glory
Filling us with Your goodness
Showering us with Your mercy
Flooding our heart with Your joy
The miracle of life
You are the reason
For our existence
Giving us meaning
And purpose
To live each new day


Wave of Love

The wave of God's love
Wash over us
Your banner over us is love
Wave upon wave of Your glory
Wave upon wave of Your splendour
Wave upon wave of Your love
Flood our hearts with Your grace
Let Your waves wash all over us
Cleansing us
Renewing us
Refreshing us

Mountain Climbers

As pilgrims on earth, we are mountain climbers.  The mountains in our life loom large and formidable.  The challenges, trials, hardships are like mountains that we must climb.  

As we face the mountains, we are mindful that God made these mountains.  He knows the base, the peak, the crest, the slope and the face of the mountain like the back of His hand.  He is in full control.  We have nothing to fear.  

Victory and triumph await the children of God.  God's redeemed people are led by the power of God's spirit.

We rise in faith. We rise in hope.  We rise with courage. 

God promised us that He will help us to conquer the mountains.  He gives us the strength to press on.  He is with us, Immanuel.

Teach Us to Wait

Teach us to wait
To gain a heart of wisdom

Teach us to pray
To hear Your heart-cry

Teach us to rest
To find hope and peace

We linger
We wait
We bask
In Your holy presence
Abiding in Your love
Seeking Your face
Beholding Your beauty

His Strength is Made Perfect in our Weakness

God's strength is made perfect in our weakness. In the eyes of common man, weakness is frowned upon. Weakness is the hallmark of the underachiever. Weakness is incapability. Weakness is inadequacy.

The Lord looks at our weakness differently. Weakness is strength. In our weakness, God comes to us and fills our hearts with His greatness. He pours His grace, strength, hope, power and goodness on us. 

As we turn our weakness to Him, He makes something beautiful out of our broken pieces. 

He renews our hope. He rebuilds our life. He restores our broken dreams. He speaks life to everything that is dying off.

The infinite love of God shines through our weakness. The power of His grace radiates through our brokenness. He makes all things beautiful. He turns our life around and fills us with hope.

The God of this universe works through each weak and frail vessel. His mercy and grace reach out to the deepest recesses of our hearts and touch the core of our being. His glory fills our hearts. His glory fills each of us as we cry out to Him daily.

His Persevering Love

We have all experienced dark days in our lifetime.  Bleakness and doom cloud our outlook and perspectives.  The stress and pressure seemingly suffocate us and immobilize us.  Fear grip our hearts.  Worry is a constant companion.  We are human.  We are susceptible to fear, discouragement and despondency.  At times, we just want to throw in the towel.  Every attempt to stand up is futile.

As children of God, we are subjected to hard times and dark days.  The difference is the knowledge that through these challenging times, God is with us.  With Him, we can weather any difficulties.  Not because of anything that is good about us; the truth is we cannot manage on our own.  God helps us.  He delivers us.  He strengthens us to overcome.  He gives us victory and hope.  He beckons to us to follow Him.  All that really matters is the posture of our hearts.  

We seek and love Him with no reservation.  Through the fire and the flood, God's glory shines through our broken lives.  God's unfailing love and power sustains us moment by moments.  He does not want us to quit.  His persevering love leads us daily to trust Him for the miraculous.  All glory and honour be unto God who lives and reigns through all eternity.

His Providential Care and Love


In 2012, our washing machine broke down and God miraculously provided some funds for us to purchase a new one.

A few days ago, our six year old washing machine gave up.  Monte tried to trouble shoot to ascertain the possible reasons for the breakdown.  He failed to get the machine to work again.  Meanwhile, our dirty clothes kept piling up.  We realized the importance of a washing machine very quickly.

We prayed and trusted the Lord.  We have been in such predicaments on some occasions and it is not easy.

God is faithful.  This morning, Monte tried to do something else in a last ditch attempt to revive our washing machine.  I was out of the house and when I heard his call.  I was filled with great joy.  What a good news!  God came through for us.  

We can only lean and rely on God who sustains us moment by moment.  The Lord is teaching us to walk by faith.  We serve a wonder working God.  We cannot live without Him.  He overwhelms us daily with His providential care and love.

We See You

When we see You
We see love
We see hope
We see mercy
We see grace
We see You
We behold Your beauty
We behold Your glory
We stand in awe of You
When we see You
We see Your mighty power
We see Your persevering love
We see Your unending mercy

Pouring Your love on us
As we bask in Your presence

We Call on You

The stress is building up
We call on You
The pressure is mounting
We call on You
The storm is fierce
We call on You
The challenge is daunting
We call on You
No one else 
Can relieve us
No one else
Can rescue us
No one else
Can deliver us
Except You
We trust You
We need You
We call on You

He Works Through Us

God ministers through our broken lives.  He uses every part of us.  He uses our life experiences.  He is with us in our pain and anguish.  He is with us in our hopelessness and helplessness.  He assures us of His love and goodness.  He knows our suffering. He knows our pain.   Some of our most powerful testimonies come out of our most painful experiences.  God works in and through us to accomplish His purposes.

We call to mind His faithfulness and grace.  We call to mind His goodness.  He leads us on in His love and grace.  Each day is a miracle.  A new day to see His wonder working power and love. 

So Blessed

So blessed 
To know You
So blessed

Is our greatest joy
To love and be loved
To behold You
What a blessing
To love and serve You
