They that deal truly are his delight..

They that deal truly are his delight...
June 03, 2010

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)

gathereth in summer...

Gathereth in summer...
June 02, 2010

Today I learn two things. The first one is I must diligent. Now is the”summer” day and I must gather in the summer. I said that now is a summer day because I am still young, only 32 years of age and still have the energy to think and to work. I have the capability to “gather”. So, I must do something useful for my finance, family, spiritual, environment, etc.


The second one is I must patient. When I am doing things the problems always come. The bible said that the problem come to every one, to the righteous person and to the wicked person. I have GOD and his Words. I must keep my self right in the eyes of GOD and when the “whirlwind” come I can survive.


This morning everything is going crazy. I said to my employee not to mix the red cloth to the other cloth but she did not obey. She mixed the cloth and the other cloth became red and we don’t know how to clean the red spot. I wish the cloth owner will forgive us.


But thanks GOD; we have more and more customer everyday. We learn from every mistake and not to do the same mistake anymore.


He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame. Prov 10:5 (KJV)
As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous is an everlasting foundation. Prov 10:25 (KJV)

Go to the ant...

Go to the ant...
June 01, 2010

Yesterday my shop was very desolate. Only one customer came. I and my wife were very down. Because of that condition, my wife asks me to move my daughter to a chipper school because we worry that we can not afford her school fee. I am so desperate and feel confuse. I wish my shop was busy because many people come and laundry at my shop.....


Today the bible says that I must do the same thing like the ants. The ants are self motivated. No ruler guides, over seer to ask them to work. They are active. They are not just waiting until something happen.


I can not just wait until my shop crowded with people. I must do something. I planned to go out from my shop, walking around the block and give 500 brochures to every one and every house that I meet today. I must provide my own food and gather them in the harvest. Hope GOD is with me.


Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:  Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,  Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.  How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?  Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: 11 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.Prov 6:6-11 (KJV)
