The source of our strength

Greetings to you, my dear friends!

i would like to share 2 verses with you:

Isaiah 26:3-4
You will keep him in perfect peace,
Whose mind is stayed on You,
Because he trusts in You.
Trust in the LORD forever,
For in YAH, the LORD, is everlasting strength.

Yes, our God is the source of everlasting strength and perfect peace.
He is worthy of our fixed attention and abiding trust.

During this examination period, it is tempting and easy to compromise and neglect our quality time with God, but let us constantly remind ourselves to fix our minds on Him, to place our trust in Him, even as we focus on our studies, because only He can give us true peace and strength to overcome life's challenges.

(: Don't these verses also remind you of the famous phrase, "the joy of the Lord is your strength", which subsequently reminds you of the secret of true joy: Jesus. Others. You?

Indeed we do not only study hard and excel in exams for our own sake, not merely for personal glory or brighter job prospects. We would like to do well for God's glory; to multiply the talents and resources He has generously bestowed upon us. We would also like to do well for others, such as loved ones who hope for the best in us, and also for the underprivileged ones in the world. There are millions of people who do not have access to proper education and are living in poverty while we enjoy high standard of living and world-class education. Hence, we must not waste our resources and talents, but must make full use of them and serve the underprivileged ones in the near future, just like what Jesus did.

May we find joy during this examination period as we elevate and expand our minds to stay on Christ and others.

May we also bring Heaven to Earth even as we try to get many people to Heaven from Earth.
