A diligent man shall not stand before mean men...


A diligent man 
shall not stand before mean men...

June 06, 2010

Now my store still hasn’t get profit yet even the demand is increasing. Temptation to having fun or pleasuring always come and bothers me. That kind of temptation is hard for me because my life style before was a pleasuring and spoiled life style. I must resist to this kind of temptation.


Even the rich man and the poor man is created by GOD, I believe that God created the “man” not created the condition of "rich and poor". Rich or poor is created by man. I believe that rich or poor is the issue of mind set.

Bible said that the difference between rich and poor is not how much the treasure they have but the way they live their life and the way they think. Like example the poor stay in his comfort zone and feel pleasure (prov 21:17) while the rich always think of innovations and improvisation. The poor always think to borrow and borrow again (prov 22:7) while the rich think how to invest even no money. The rich is always diligent in his business (Prov 22:29) but the poor said it is enough.

So, if I want to be rich, I must follow the principle of the bible: always doing  innovations and improvisations, stepping out from comfort zone, diligent in business and always invest (not only for assets but also for knowledge).


He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.  Prov 21:17 (KJV)
The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender. Prov 22:7 (KJV)

Seest thou a man diligent in his business? He shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.
Prov 22:29 (KJV)

The LORD trieth the hearts...

The LORD trieth the hearts...
June 05, 2010


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...
June 04, 2010

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)
