At the beginning of the shelter in place season, God caught my attention to do a 40-day fast, and the verse that came with it was “man shall not live on bread alone but on every word that comes out of the mouth of God” so I started a 40-day Bible reading plan. The variety of things that had filled my life prior to covid I no longer have, but personally it was a blessing in disguise for me because it enabled me to go deeper into what I had remaining -- God, His Word, and being able to worship. This has been a season for me digging down my roots deeply, where I was not distracted by the voices of the world or even my friends, and was able to tune into God and be closer to him than ever before. O I pray that we can dig our roots deep, deep down and be changed so that we may be transformed, equipped, and prepared for whatever comes in this next season. 40 days (20 OT, 4 Ps, 7 NT) Old Testament (20 ch/day) Psalms (4 psalms/day) New Testament (7 ch/day) 1 Genesis 1 - 20 Psa...
Note from Jan 2021: But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them -- yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. (1 Cor 15) You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. (2 Tim 2) The end of school is near, I’m graduating next year Unsure about what to do now Or where God has called me to There should be more to life than marriage, jobs, and comfort I’ve been wondering how to live my life “Do what you wanna do, pursue your passion” I am told, but beyond my career Isn’t there a reason you put me here I wanna know “To live with God, to live for God, to love your God with all your heart” Yes I know, but can I ask about something personal to me Why Vancouver? Why Comp Sci? Why Worshipers? God tell me how to spend this life These are the questions I bring to Higher Calling And I hope to hear your voice there, to know your will for me It’s time to see what you will do When I put my tru...
God wants you to be free from trauma, so that you can be the person He designed you to be. God wants you to be healed of woundedness, so that you can be free to move forward. God wants you to be free from unforgiveness and bitterness, so that you can be lighter and soar as you were intended. God wants you to be free from people who've hurt you, words that have pierced you, so that you can move forward. He wants you to be free from the past, so that you can look to the future. And he wants to help you get free. He acknowledges your hurt, He knows your pain. He felt your pain. You were not alone, He was not distant. When you were hurting, He was hurting with you. He wants to help heal your heart, so that it'll be whole. Throw off everything that hinders, fix your eyes on Jesus. Forget the former things, do not dwell on the past; see, I am doing a new thing. Do you not perceive it? The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because He has anointed me to preach good news t...

When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. (2 Chronicles 7) Teach us to seek your face, not your hands But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. (Matthew 6:33) 혹 내가 하늘을 닫고 비를 내리지 아니하거나 혹 메뚜기들에게 토산을 먹게 하거나 혹 전염병이 내 백성 가운데에 유행하게 할 때에 내 이름으로 일컫는 내 백성이 그들의 악한 길에서 떠나 스스로 낮추고 기도하여 내 얼굴을 찾으면 내가 하늘에서 듣고 그들의 죄를 사하고 그들의 땅을 고칠지라 (역대하 7:13-14) 주의 손보다 주의 얼굴을 구하게 하소서 그런즉 너희는 먼저 그의 나라와 그의 의를 구하라 그리하면 이 모든 것을 너희에게 더하시리라 (마 6:33)
Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Habakkuk 3 Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior. The Sovereign Lord is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to tread on the heights. Psalm 46 God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging. The ...
I am dearly beloved.... I am precious in your sight... God made me different from anyone else, uniquely, and so how He interacts with me is unique. I am His one and only me... I am not replaceable to God... Zephaniah 3 The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing. Song of Songs 2 My lover is mine and I am his... I belong to my lover, and his desire is for me... Psalm 139 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? For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the ...
