HOLD ON. TIGHT.

sorry for not updating this blog lately. haven't been disciplined (bothered) enough to log in to blogger.com to post anything haha. but today, i shall!

God has been revealing to me a fair bit about discipline. more often than not, i think the key isn't how disciplined you are in sticking to your regimen or gameplan, nor is it how 'flexible' (lackadaisical) you are in not following any routine or set rules. but a balance of discipline and flexibility - enough discipline to not be idle and unfocused, and enough flexibility to allow God to work even in changed/unfamiliar circumstances. The key to having a balance of both also, i think, can be attributed to focusing on God Himself.

Proverbs 3:5-6

'5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;

6 in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight.'

I'll also include the next verse, because our own wisdom (and pride) often gets in our way to GG ourselves..

Proverbs 3:7

' 7 Do not be wise in your own eyes;
fear the LORD and shun evil. '

How many times have we owned ourselves because we think 'Oh, i've already been through this and that and this and that. who is in a better position to talk about all this than me. i think ive got the right to talk about this. after all, im pretty trained already what. who are you to talk about this, you only know so little. eh i got do this and that leh. you got anot? do it this way i tell you. blah blah blah. '

I concede and confess that every so often, i am guilty of the above. whether or not i express it in that manner could be a different story. im not sure. but yeah every so often, i have to catch myself when my heart and thought processes are becoming like the example abovementioned. I'm very sorry and i hope i have not misled anyone!

but in the end. who knows best? haha. yes. you got it. it's none other than you know Who.

That one, im pretty sure :)

picked up a very impt lesson from todays utmost.
