The Feast and the sand suckers

This looks good for most people. Even for guys who don't like ang mor breakfast and still pine for bah chor mee. We had this at "the left bank". Vernon bought us breakfast, all the drivers. yah!

Anyway, ever wondered what you must do to hear the voice of God?

It's really what you must NOT do/have in order to hear.

We learnt about these hindrances in tonight's session on the Voice of God:

Fear, Unbelief, Pride & Self-Sufficiency, Rationalism, Apathy, Disobedience and Independence.

And so often we mask ourselves and put on a "I'm-doing-great-even-though-i-have-no-clue-what-God-is-saying" facade. We don't know if He will, don't care, don't want Him to speak.

You stroll by the beach and see this wonderful spread(see pic), choice gourmet, a feast laid out with fine cutlery and china. You snoop around a bit, hands behind your back and think to yourself,"not bad." Then you stoop down on all fours and start sucking on, eating the sand and drinking the seawater beneath you. You're hungry and the sand's "not too bad".

That's often the pathetic us.

God wants to speak but we're chewing on sand. "it's good enough...for now. I know what I'm doing."



this is the air i breathe
Your very word
living in me


"who will ascend the heavens...who will cross the sea to get it to us so that we may obey it?"
No, the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart so that you might obey it."
Deut 30:12-15


unclog. release. take in again.
