My Extra Portion of Wisdom and Strength...


Comes from God. No doubt.

When my mind is saturated with terms and definitions.
When I can no longer take in another page of notes.
When I need the motivation to finish what I need to finish.
When I feel bad about putting off work to watch 5 back to back episodes of this "silly yet I still watch it" HK drama serial.

Yet, I find peace just sitting quietly and listening to gospel music. Its just surreal to just stop focusing on myself and the situation I am in, and just dwell on His love and goodness.

It reminded me of those days when I mugged like crazy for A levels. Nothing beats listening to gospel while studying. The anxiety and worry just left me and all there is, the surrounding peace Indescribable. Its all coming back... Here and now, 4 years on, and the peace that God will make things work for me, still lingers on.

Whenever I feel this way, I find my extra portion of wisdom and strength from reading Psalms and Isaiah.

Isaiah 40:31
but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary.
they will walk and not be faint.

one of my favorite verse.

Matthew 6:25-27
Do not worry.

"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air, they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?"

Worrying is just pointless. I shan't worry about safety issues in Shenzhen. Sometimes, I would love not for people to tell me just how dangerous it'll be over there. Don't let me condemn the place even before I go there.

Blessed assurance:
I'll be kept in safety wherever I go=)
