Week 69 Part 2 - It's time to train
You know, many things don't happen on the outside. It happens right from the inside of our hearts (just reminded of the heart with "weeds" during service just now, wah lao). I begin my post with these verses:
1 Corinthians 9:24-27 (New International Version)
24Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.
25Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. 26Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. 27No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.
Indeed, we want to last the race. Having only 2 papers does not equate to "relaxing" or "slack", nor is it compensation for a tough semester. It's definitely more than just that. God's season is definitely not the world's season. By the way, the world's season now is "Exams".
Indeed, stress. Suddenly felt the relief of stress when i reached home, yet knowing that i have to go through training to see where God will bring me to.
Indeed, renewing covenant with God when we take what He says seriously, completely and specifically. How many of us can testify that agreeing with it is much easier compared to actually doing it right.
Many thanksgiving points this week. Exams bring out the best and worst of people, yet at NYC it's heartwarming seeing many fellow brothers and sisters gathering together to study. Very much different feeling from last sem, but nonetheless thankful.
Thierry Henry's handball in the France/Ireland game. Once a legend of Arsenal 5 years ago, yet undone by a stupid unethical mistake amidst broken Irish hearts en route to the World Cup next year. Worthwhile cheating just to win? Hmm...
