How Timely Is God's Words!

I was feeling abit uneasy. I don't know why. Or maybe I know. It could be that I am still feeling sick; Could be that I saw her last sun and even had lunch together with a group; Could be the appraisal that i just went thru yesterday. Anyhow, I just felt uneasy inside me. And my diet confirm that something is not right in me. Beside normal healthy meals, i went on a-junk-attack mission! I had a cup of marigold fruit salad yoghurt before dinner. That's normal. Had a bottle of grape flavour yakult after dinner. That's healthy! Helped myself to finish a three-quarter full tub Haagen-daz Green Tea ice-cream! That's foolish! Given that I was still not feeling too well! And then, had another serving of marigold yoghurt. This time is the peach flavour. (Two "yoghurt" is better than one.) Then, search for more junkies and found only two packets of "Fairprice" rolled cuttlefish. And I simply rolled one packet into my mouth, down to my stomach. Ha. Quite thirsty now. So drank a packet of cold Milo which gives me extra unnecessary tonic and further harm to my cough. Unsatisfied, I sms my sis to buy for me my craving snacks - Baby Star crispy noodle spicy flavour! Which taste like the cheap 20 cents "MaMee" but better. (Had to be, right?! If not, how to justify the higher price-tag!) Here she comes back home and my sufferings ended.(or just started?) I quickly opened up a packet of crispy noodle and dunk em into my horse mouth. Yummy. Left abit for my sis to finish a great move started by me! Surprisingly, she bought more than I asked for. She also brought home 2 packets of Japanese crispy seaweed - hot and spicy flavour! My fav Flava, which will hurt my throat without failed after one serving. And its spiciness will send the driver's high into my head. So, without any hesitation or second thoughts, me and my sis double team to finish one pack! Our movements and passing of that hapless seaweed pack was sweet, swift and smooth. It was near perfection. We just could read each others thoughts and ideas. If I were to use one word to describe the game. Whimsical!

By now, my throat is ultra dry. So i approached my mum to cut guava for me. And as always, she obliged with a mother's love. Still feeling dry, i made myself a cup of Lipton's "Iron-Buddha-tea". Sounds complex, but actually very easy to prepare. Just dunk an iron-buddha tea bag into a cup of hot water will do. After the tea, i felt better as it aids my digestive system. However, i do still felt that my stomach is bloated and exploding soon. Unless I could do a Pearl Harbour real quick inside the rest room. But it did not came. So I suffered.

Anyway, I proceeded to read God's words in my daily devotion book, My Utmost For His Highest. And the verse I encountered sets me free! Psa 37:8 " do not fret - it leads only to evil."

I must be fretting. My actions tells me so. All the uneasy feelings; All the eating of junkies. And they don't filled the empty void inside me nor they satisfied me. Only after I read this verse, I feel better. Breathe easier. And i just fret no more.

No fretting about my past. (my past relationship issue) No fretting about my present.(my current job and its appraisal) And no fretting about my future.(my future relationship and my calling) I just tell God that I will not fret about anything concerns me. All because He cares for me. Amen.

O God, I love You.
