first Accident with my 5 months Car ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cannot understand how it happened because it is not normal for me to do that but anyway, I was at the Malaysia Custom. I just felt like reversing my car to switch lane. Seeing that there is no car behind, I just reverse and BANG...... I moved my car forward before exiting my car to check the damage. The bumper has two line dents and the a part raised. Then I check the car of the other party (Hyundai Matrix), it looks fine, not damaged. It is later at City Square, I realised my car bumper has came off the clips on the two sides.

Fortunately, the other driver did not seek compensation from me at that point of time. PREW!!! When I look at it again, there might be a possiblity that the driver did not see me reverse to stop the car in time and bang me. So may be the other driver thought it was his fault.

To me, I just want to praise GOD for the grace and mercy. I really thought it was my fault. When I reflect back:" What is GOD trying to teach me in this situation?" Only then, I realised the fragility of our walk with GOD. When we do not walk closely with GOD, we give the enemy (devil) opportunity to inflict and hurt us. It could be an illness or accident or mishaps. However, we should guard our walk zealously, just like the security guard who watches over a property. And most of the time, we need the covering of the Blood of Jesus to protect us and to keep us in the narrow path called the Christian walk. The walk of a Chirstian life is a long bumpy, narrow path that leads us to Mount Zion. Bumpy because of the obstacles placed there by the devil, but with the permission of GOD ( like the story of Job) The obstacles are there to help us grow to be more Christ-like and not to destroy or kill us.

Why do I talk about the walk? I had a wonderful one week (september break) break from work. I rested totally, taking afternoon naps. Rested so totally that my walk with GOD is not so close, so much rest that the physical man do not feel the need to pray continually and "minutely" all the time as I would when I go to school because of the stress that I face in school. I pray when I walk, I pray when I eat, I pray when I teach in class, I pray when I run, I pray when I have to make decision. I thank GOD for the intimacy and pray for MORE. I seek to know the heart of GOD and see the world though the eyes of GOD. I want to walk closely with GOD and fellowship with Him. ( One good example is Noch) I want God to make decisions for me for

to do justice and judgement (obey) is more pleasing (better) to Jehovah than sacrifice.

Proverbs 21:3 NKJV

Second thing that I have learn is not to hold on dearly to earthly possessions, but to pursue the heavenly rewards and more importantly, the heart of GOD. Just as in the bible, a certain rich man wanted to tear down his barn to build a bigger barn, however he did not realised that his soul will be required of that night.

Thirdly, forget the past to be fruitful in the land of affliction meaning I have to forgive (forget) to be fruitful ( learning from this incident).

51And Joseph called the firstborn Manasseh [making to forget], For God, said he, has made me forget all my toil and hardship and all my father's house.

52And the second he called Ephraim [to be fruitful], For [he said] God has caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.

Genesis 41:51-52 (Amplified Bible)

The same can also be applied in my place of work. There is bound to have people who will tresspass against you, but it is only when we can forgive, then we can fruitful (promotion???) in the land of affliction (school).

It is similar to the last blog where I mentioned jacob who worked seven years for rachel and ended up married leah, then has to work for another seven years for rachel (which is the promised one). Can you imagine what will happen if jacob did not presist for another seven years??? And it is leah who is more fruitful in terms of having children. Hence, it is the 'leah' experience that is most fruitful.

I also want to give glory to GOD and have been blessed (by faith abundantly, exceedingly beyond what I can hold that it goes out for the extension of the kingdom.) Thankfully, I had a tuition relief which made some money for the repair of the bumper, thank GOD for the provision.

Secondly, I have been thinking of getting a PSP (PlayStation Portable) and asked GOD for it either provide the money for it somehow. Thankfully, my brother-in-law got a laptop and not playing with his PSP so he will lend it to me. Thank GOD, I do not even have to fork out a single cent. Today he took it back to have the operating system downgraded to a newer version, hopefully, he will continue to lend me. :} Indeed He is my Jehovah Jireh, my provider.
