Perseverance!

Not even 1month into the new year and I am already wavering in my QT and my on-line journal.

I can easily say that I have been soooooo busy that I had no time. But I know that I am only bluffing myself. If I have time to watch T.V and spend time reading Malaysiakini, I have time to do my QT!

Work will always be there!!
Work will never finish!
One day time will pass me by and I will be old and weak!
Will I only then seek God for help?!?!

I told myself that I was so mentally tired after work and that I have no energy to do QT but I am entitled to rest and watch TV.

So it really takes perseverance to spend time with God no matter what comes my way. There are so many things that yell out for my attention!
Sometimes these things are more tempting to spend time on then my personal time with God!
Does that mean I love God less?!?

James 1:1-8 (New International Version)

1James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ,

To the twelve tribes scattered among the nations: Greetings.

2Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds,

3because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.

4Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

5If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.

6But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.

7That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; 8he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does.

Dear Lord,

As I meditate on your words, let it not be only during times of trial that I seek you!
Forgive me Lord that I have not put you first this pass week.
I thank you that you have sustain me in my health especially this week.

Please grant me wisdom in knowing when to work and when to rest in You!

Also as it is my Grandma's birthday today, I want to commit her into your hands! I thank you that you have bless her with such wonderful health all these years even through she is advance in her age. Please grant the desires of her heart!

Please guard my heart that I may not fall into temptation!

In Jesus Name I Pray!

AMEN!
