Temptations

Surely Heaven is just,
Surely earth is good.

Yet, temptations lurks all around,
My feet are prone to slipped
My heart envies the lawless,
for they eat, drink, callose all days,
carefree and increase their gains.

I asked myself,
I must be stupid to keep my heart pure,
I must be short changed in this life.
When I try to understand these,
Grief filled my heart
Injustice! shrieks from deepest being

Only when I turn to my Lord,
"Why are things as such?"
I see wisdom holding me tight
As a mother would a child,
She speaks their future into my heart,
with forethought, wisdom saves my life.

who have I in heaven but you?
Earth has nothing better besides you

My flesh and heart will surely fail
But God is the strength of my heart
My portion, my help, my shield forever

Be a tower of refuge to me Lord,
I will tell of all your saving deeds.

The hundredth post

This is the Hundredth post,

100th, the number of perfection,
The number signifying the father.

There was a story of the Good Shepard who had a hundred sheeps.
The one who on the day of rest,
found one of his little sheep missing.

And so he was,
worried that the little sheep would be harm,
Left the comfort and rest of the shelter and the other 99 sheeps,
to venture into the wilderness to search for the little lamb.

And when he found the little sheep trap in the clevis with a broken leg,
Crying away,
He would put aside his own safety, and climb into the ravine to bring the sheep back.
And when he brought the sheep out, carried the little lamp on his shoulders rejoicing for the little sheep had been lost and now is found.

Returning back, returning the single lost sheep to the other 99
transfer the complete 100 sheeps into the Right hand of the Father.

FOR THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD

The Lord is my shepherd,
I shall not want;
He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters;
He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness
for His name's sake.

Even though I walk through the valley
of the shadow of death,
I fear no evil;
for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life;
and I shall dwell in the house of the
Lord forever.

Psalm 23

A New and Living way

Obituary...

Charlton Heston

This hollywood actor who had played the role of Moses in the epic Ten Commandments and prince Ben Hur in the Oscar winning Judah Ben Hur died on Saturday, April 5, 2008 at his home in Beverly Hills, California with Lydia, his wife of 64 years, by his side. He was 84. The cause of death is currently unknown.

A sense of dejavu came over me over his decease. Even though I had heard of him for a long period of time and also heard of The Ten Commandments, and also the classical epic Judah Ben Hur, I had not seen both for the longest time until last Friday evening. Thus recognising the Choros timing with the event of his passing reminded me of a scene in The Ten Commandments where an old slave who was speared to death by an Egyptian guard said to the Prince of Egypt, Moses with his last breath,

"My prayers had not been answer that I may see I may see the deliever of Israel which God will send before my eyes are shut"

Moses had discovered his birth identity as a Hebrew, and has been made a salve then. Angry at God who had forsaken His people.

Such is the perfect timing, Choros timing. There is a time for everything.. Appointed..

From the Old Covenant of God sealed in His laws with his people in The Ten Commandments, the law brought Death when Moses ( Charlton) Proclaims,

"Those who refuses to LIVE by the law, Shall Die by the law!"

To Judah Ben Hur, who raised 2 legions of fighting men for the Messiah. Praise be to the one most High, "that it is not by the sword that God shall set his peoples free, but by the staff of a Sheppard" (Moses)

Indeed the Messiah did the unthinkable, handling himself over to his enemies, " Laying his life down for his sheeps" For such is His measure of Friendship that, " A Friend will Lay down his Life"

The most foolish plan of Heaven, is wiser still than the most cleverly devised plans from human beings. Indeed a New and Living way has been given to us. A life where our tears are wiped away.

"As for me and my household, we shall Serve the Lord."
