Spiritual Concentration

went service yday cause today cannot make it.. it was a tremendous one.. it's like God speaking to me from point to point during the service.. a renewal of my spirit, soul, mind..
1) A question of Treasure
2) A question of Vision
3) A question of Devotion - what am i devoted to?
4) A question of Ambition
Worry means to let a tormenting thought strangle you..
i realise sometimes i seem to worry alot.. why worry? since every obstacle that comes our way requires divine permission from God..
anyway, army life hasnt been very tough, just that it's hard to pray and do daily devotion.. i admit that my devotion has not been strong.. i felt a sense of lost sometimes.. i think that i'm getting a little easily agitated by things.. sometimes i think of myself more than others.. when Pastor preaches, God just spoke to me.. i had vivid flashbacks in my mind at that time.. i know i'm slowly drawing away but thank God for my faith that draws me back.. through this period, i'm weak spiritually and Matthew6:33 keeps coming to my mind.. i know that this verse can encourage me but i dont feel encouraged at all by my own thoughts.. however, i finally understood and was deeply impacted once again when Pastor preached about that verse last night..
"Concentration on God is of more value than personal holiness"
love God such that every other devotion seems like hatred in comparison..
it's a great revelation for me..

half marathon today.. ran 12km.. not bad i completed it running all the way and never walk.. i believe training in sispec has helped.. but army likes to waste our time.. we finish the run at around 9 plus, but we had to stay around and do nothing.. if only i could leave earlier, i would have gone for service.. oh.. wasted my money for cab again cause the cab went for a loop cause the roads are blocked.. but thank God that the taxi driver allowed me to pay just $20 because it exceeded by quite alot..haha

going to pop this week! let me go to the place You want me to be..

i was down, almost left, but You drew me back
You're always there even when i don't feel You
i was dry, but You watered my soul at the right time
Everything's gonna be alright
Thank You Jesus
