Let us be righteous even in hard times...

Let us be righteous even in hard times�

July 16, 2010

Even it is very hard to righteous in a hard time, we still can be righteous. That time, the nation of Judah was not in a good condition. A nation call Babylon will attack them and take them to captive. All the people and the king know this because GOD via Jeremiah has told them.

They will become slaves to the Babylonian, I can imagine that many of the Judah will panic because they have heard and seen the King of Israel and the people of Israel were taken captive by Assyrian long time ago before them and became slave to the Assyrian.

But, there was still one group of people that still do the righteous. They are Rechabites: Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habaziniah, and his brethren, and all his sons, and whole house of Rechabites. The still keep their life clean and obey the teachings of their father.

Yes, this time is a hard time for me. Economically is not good and my laundry business still not able to maintain my family, yet. This month, I have no more money to bring my daughter to the school. But, in another side, I must always keep my self �clean� from any bad attitude, negative thinking, and any crime. I still make my self and my family love GOD as same as when before I bankrupt.

Go unto the house of the Rechabites, and speak unto them, and bring them into the house of the LORD, into one of the chambers, and give them wine to drink. Jer 35:2 (KJV)

And I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites pots full of wine, and cups, and I said unto them, Drink ye wine. But they said, We will drink no wine: for Jonadab the son of Rechab our father commanded us, saying, Ye shall drink no wine, neither ye, nor your sons for ever. Jer 35:5-6 (KJV)

Today I want to write a simple poem for GOD. 

The poem is based on  Jeremiah 33

GOD still give HOPE….

When I am wrong, God loves me by advices

When I am wrong, God loves me by a little rebuke

When I am wrong, God loves me by a little punishment

When I am wrong, God loves me by a bigger punishment

When I am wrong, God loves me by much punishment

When I am wrong, God loves me by find me

He knows that I need my heart again

He knows that I need to be filled

He knows me that I need love

He knows me that I need mercy

He knows me that I need his forgiveness

GOD gives me HOPE

GOD gives me2^nd chance

GOD gives chance to do right

GOD gives me the way.

I give GOD my life.

I give GOD my repentance

I give GOD everything

Now, I belong to God.

Jeremiah 31-33

Tell the truth not only the good…

Tell the truth not only the good…

July 14, 2010

Sometime we want to be nice and tell only the good things to someone besides telling the truth about him. Hananiah did this kind of action and GOD sentence him to death.

Telling of good things of someone is a good thing. But if we are telling only good thing, it is a bad thing and God doesn’t like it because it will make the one who we told the thing become pervert.

Last night I met my father. We were discussing about his new business. I told that the business will be a good business because I have surveyed and counted the cost. I told him about the obstacles and problems to. So, I told him about the good things and about the things that must be fixed. And the best thing I told him about this is GOD’s plan (because my father doesn’t know my GOD, yet.) everything that has happened is GOD's plan. I am happy to do this. I am telling the truth not only the good.

Just for the information: Two days ago, the hotel’s supervisor came to the Huge Laundry company (the company that my laundry associate with), they surveyed the laundry and they asked for the price list. This is a positive step. I wish GOD is accompaning me in this business.

Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from off the prophet Jeremiah's neck, and brake it. Jer 28:10 (KJV)

Go and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus saith the Lord; Thou hast broken the yokes of wood; but thou shalt make for them yokes of iron. For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; I have put a yoke of iron upon the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they shall serve him: and I have given him the beasts of the field also. Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah; The Lord hath not sent thee; but thou makest this people to trust in a lie. Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will cast thee from off the face of the earth: this year thou shalt die, because thou hast taught rebellion against the Lord. So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month. Jer 28:13-17 (KJV)
