Come, let us return to the LORD. He has torn us to pieces but he will heal us; he has injured us but he will bind up our wounds. After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will restore us, that we may live in his presence. Let us acknowledge the LORD; let us press on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth.

mengeracau...
it's like people going crazy... cut here and there, march here and there, shout here and there, benci here and there, kawad kiri kanan kiri...
oh, Israel... a small nation... and it's like the whole world is going to swallow you up...
but the amazing and wonderful thing is... Israel is not going to vanish... some mysteries people just couldn't understand...

Psalms 119:129-136
Every word you give me is a miracle word—
how could I help but obey?
Break open your words, let the light shine out,
let ordinary people see the meaning.
Mouth open and panting,
I wanted your commands more than anything.
Turn my way, look kindly on me,
as you always do to those who personally love you.
Steady my steps with your Word of promise
so nothing malign gets the better of me.
Rescue me from the grip of bad men and women
so I can live life your way.
Smile on me, your servant;
teach me the right way to live.
I cry rivers of tears
because nobody's living by your book!
here is another version of the verses...
Psalms 119:129-136 (Amplified Bible)
129Your testimonies are wonderful [far exceeding anything conceived by man]; therefore my [penitent] self keeps them [hearing, receiving, loving, and obeying them].
130The entrance and unfolding of Your words give light; their unfolding gives understanding (discernment and comprehension) to the simple.
131I opened my mouth and panted [with eager desire], for I longed for Your commandments.
132Look upon me, be merciful unto me, and show me favor, as is Your way to those who love Your name.
133Establish my steps and direct them by [means of] Your word; let not any iniquity have dominion over me.
134Deliver me from the oppression of man; so will I keep Your precepts [hearing, receiving, loving, and obeying them].
135Make Your face shine [with pleasure] upon Your servant, and teach me Your statutes.
136Streams of water run down my eyes, because men do not keep Your law [they hear it not, nor receive it, love it, or obey it].
Psalms 119 is very, how to say, good la... really lack of words...
read it out last Sunday evening... hmm, the longest chapter in the Bible eh...
there are many kept me thinking and 'menikmati ayat-ayatnya'... wonderful...
then Psalms 119:130 is the one i keep thinking till now...
unfolding of His Words... gives light... gives understanding to the simple... so called the rhema word... transforming our thoughts, thinking patterns, renewing & restoring our mind from the 'lies' we consciously & unconsciously absorb throughout the life, the lies of the world...
what a joy to know the One God, His Words give the excitement and wonders in heart of the listeners...
hey mates, there's only one Truth here, get on hold of it tightly, never lose it!
He said "I am the Truth, the Way and the Life..."
you know, He=Yeshua haMesshiach
Abbah, God of the universe
watching all things happening under the sky, among the people
all things happen with Your divine permission, according to Your will...
everything and everyone is moving around You, as the centre. it's all about You...
Faithful God, keeping Your promises even till today, You never fail... even though our mind cannot fathom Your ways, we wanna trust in Your will...
who are we to complain about what people call bad lucks, accidents, woes... often we want good things, 'good lucks' from You, why not we also accept the 'bad things' from You, with contentment?
we sigh upon looking at those news, happenings around us... murders, rapes, corruptions, frauds, deaths, disasters, climate changes... politics...? injustice...? foolishness...?...homosexuality... ah... too much... sigh~~
the world is corrupted... worse and worse... seems like there is no HOPE everywhere, no TRUTH can be found... nowhere is safe so it seems! many got drifted by the current of the world, overlooked the lifeline which has been thrown down to them from above the heavens...
"we cannot do a thing to change... it's like that... what to do... i know, don't talk about these anymore... shhhhh..."
Your Kingdom is near, the everlasting Kingdom of Yours...
and it's time now for people to be awaken from deep sleep, eyes be opened to see, ears to hear the Truth. a new heart to understand...
"TODAY, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion..."
Help us, LORD to speak forth for You... for we know much of our own words are not matched with Your one true Word, because You know everyone the best. everyone created in You, through You, for You...
give us the understanding to read Your Words, that we may grow stronger each day, renewed every morning... that there's a joy and peace surpasses our own understanding, even in the storms of life... for we know better and better who You are, how tender and sweet You are, how strict and just You are... everything is about You... oh, Your Words i crave in the deepest of my being...
Your Words is LIFE! the light i need! the slumber of assurance, the confidence to live...
God of Mercy, Loving Abbah, Wonderful Jesus, Gentle Spirit... :) unfolding Your Words so that many lives see the light... so that the simple understands... life will never be the same again! let the knowledge of the LORD flood the earth...
honour and glory is to You. the authority is Yours. Your Kingdom is forever.
thank You for the gift You give
thank You for being faithful
thank You for the Truth you unveiled
thank You...
in Yeshua's super duper name, we pray, amen...
food for thought...
3If anyone teaches false doctrines and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching,
4he is conceited and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions
5and constant friction between men of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain.
6But godliness with contentment is great gain.
7For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it.
8But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that.
9People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction.
10For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
