The LORD trieth the hearts...

The LORD trieth the hearts...

Heart is like deep sea, full of mystery. Can anyone know what is in someone’s heart? No one knows what is in someone’s heart but the LORD knows. He will test his servants’ heart. God test someone’s heart with so many event either they are good events or bad events.

It is easy to have a merry heart when something good happened in someone’s life but when something were going wrong, can he still be merry or even have a "broken spirit"?

Because God knows what is in someone’s heart, he provide his words in the bible so when something wrong is happening, someone’s can read the bible and his/her heart shall stand.

Before, I was a manager in my father’s business. The business is tapioca starch factory. But the business is not doing well it sold to another investor. I am not working there anymore since that time. I try every kind of job: Being a dried fish shop keeper, being a corn farmer, running a rice grocer, being an insurance agent, being a shrimp farm manager, etc., and now I run a small but great laundry business. God test my heart in every event in my life and I believe that my heart capacity grow each time I past the tests.

My heart is up and down. But when I am down, I seek counsel from my friends that assigned to give us counseling from our church. I fell 100% again after that. It does really recharge me. Yes, a merry heart is like a medicine it can cure every conditions.

The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the LORD trieth the hearts.

Prov 17:3 (KJV)

A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.

Prov 17:22 (KJV)

There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand

Prov 19:21 (KJV)

Righteous life...

Righteous life...

I am very gratitude because today we get plus in our accounting and we have some new members of our laundry. I hope that this month we can give 10% from our income to GOD.


I give 10% from the profit to the church because I want to thank GOD and I want to fear GOD. GOD has bless our business and my family.

Okay, doing righteous is not only give 10% to the church, but more than that. Doing righteous are run from sins, have a commitment to the God, attending the service, love the disciple of Christ, and make other disciple of Christ. I believe that if I do the righteous life with my business, LORD will be delighted.

The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright is his delight.

Prov 15:8 (KJV)

Better is little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble therewith.

Prov 15:16 (KJV)

Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.

Prov 16:3 (KJV)

Today I learn that I may work hard to earn lot of money. But there is a rule for that work hard. The rule is: money is not everything but my heart (spiritually) is more important than my money. So, in searching money I must make sure that I do it in the right way in God’s eyes.

Last week my employee washed one of the customer’s pants. She washed it with the wrong way. She added the wrong chemical and the color of the pants changed. Today the owner come and asks for responsibility. After dealing, I must pay money (almost US$5) for the pants. I am so sad because it is all the money left in the drawer this evening.

After reading bible I feel calmed. Because event I got minus in money today, I have done the right things. Bible says that the righteous shall flourish as a branch. Bible also says that they that deal truly are his (GOD) delight. And Bible says there is that make himself poor (it means the motivation to get rich is right), yet have great riches. I hope tomorrow we will earn the profits.

He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the righteous shall flourish as a branch.

Prov 11:28 (KJV)

Lying lips are abomination to the Lord: but they that deal truly are his delight.

Prov 12:22 (KJV)

There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.

Prov 13:7 (KJV)
