Fear the Lord, you His saints, for those who fear Him lack nothing - Psalm 34:9

For the third time within these three days, my dear Lord hath breathed this verse into my heart. He's speaking to me, to fear Him, to worship Him. O how gentle His love towards me *melts* O my my my! My dear Lord is preparing me for something phenomenal! Hallelujah! *Skips a beat!*

O Holy Spirit, guide me, lead me, place me in Your right place right time! It is written, So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten - Joel 2:25. Praise my dear Lord, who hath restored the time that I have wasted in this world! O Holy Spirit, cause me to plant these seeds of time restored to me, in matters that You want me to, according to the will of my Abba - His will to love me, bless me, prosper me, and not to harm me.

It is written, Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hear us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him - 1 John 5:14–15.

When He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon, "Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch." - Luke 5:4

This verse was given to me in yesterday's NCC Daily Devotional. I meditated on almost every word of it during my lunch break, while glancing into mid-air (aka stoning), in my relaxed and away-from-the-world mode. Not that I haven't come across this verse before, just that the Holy Spirit hath caused me to meditate more in-depth on it this time.

"God wants you to break away from your comfort zone and step out in faith to do what He has put in your heart. It may be something that you have never done before or only dreamt of" - Pastor Joseph Prince. Then, dear Holy Spirit showed me such anointed insights, I am so blessed!

What hath the Lord placed in our hearts? Desires. Good desires and willingness. Just isn't it easier to do things that are of our hearts' desires and with willingness? Praise the Lord!

Say right now, being an owner of a multi-million dollar business, it's only natural for you to think you already have more than sufficient. But JESUS died for our supernatural, superabundant life, dude! Don't ever, ever depreciate His perfect, finished work! Expect more more more! "Break away from your comfort zone", dude!

So "Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch"! For multi-million dollar business owners, boldly invest in new areas! His Word is eternal. Hence "deep" is always always ALWAYS at the position higher higher MORE than wherever you are, at whenever!

JESUS did not specify how deep, so "deep" is as "deep" as "deep" is to YOU! This shows His unending provision, dude! Press into Him! Let down your nets (plural)! He will fill as many nets as YOU will let down! He will bless you with net-breaking boat-sinking loads of fish!

How? JESUS' instruction was as simple as (1) Launch out into the deep and (2) let down your nets. How difficult can that be? Did He say where? Left side of the boat or right side of the boat? Did He say how you should cast your nets, or else...? NO! So it's a simple two-steps instruction with zero underlying message to it! Easy? Too easy? Worry not, for JESUS will take care of all the rest! Hallelujah! *SMILES*

I was chatting with Yanyi this morning and the sharing session was very fruitful. My Abba is so so SO good! Truly, He makes use of everything for my good! Many a times, I realise more about my own thoughts when I reflect and confide in my friends. Hence, this time as well.

In midst of our sharing, dear Holy Spirit reminded me of my priorities in life right now. Needless to say, praising and worshipping the Lord is my utmost priority. Next would be my loved ones, especially my dearest sister and brother. No weight given to the challenges I see now before me, for my Lord is way way WAY beyond my challenges, and I AM SOARING WITH HIM! Hallelujah! What I can see is temporal, but what I can't see now is eternal! For every tribulation, the Lord will restore double to me! Where sin abounds, grace abounds much more! Praise praise praise the Lord!

My Abba is so so SO good! I remember there was a sudden but gentle stir of interest in picking up guitar, that I may praise and worship with it, with my little sunshines. Isn't it beautiful? Then Cedric came along. He knows praise and worship with guitar, he offers to teach, and he's even able to help me get cheaper guitars. Sweet! Dear Holy Spirit then reminded me to include my two precious siblings in the learning. It did not occur to me till this morning, that learning guitar together, will by God's grace strengthen our relationship with one another. Cedric also reminded me that, through this learning, my sister by God's grace will be led into His embrace once again. Praise God! *Woohoo!*

I remember I was at my mother's funeral. A cloudy day. The air was filled with sadness. My mother's pastor from FCBC was standing before us, preaching. Back then, I was too young a Christian to fully understand his words. But there was this moment, a divine moment, when he paused and stayed still and silent. God spoke to him. He praised God under his breath, opened his eyes and spoke to the three of us. He pronounced this verse upon us and told us that our Abba Daddy wants us to remember and hold on to this verse for life...

For the mountains shall depart and the hills be removed, but My kindness shall not depart from you, nor shall My covenant of peace be removed - Isaiah 54:10

Secretly, I teared. With shalom, dear Holy Spirit within me bore witness with this verse. Pastor explained further. He said "mountains" represent my mother, who's gone Home with the Lord; and "hills", my earthly father, who isn't with us. Simple yet most dear to my heart. For my Abba Daddy specifically spoke Isaiah 54:10 over me and my precious siblings. He must have known how much this verse means to us, fuels us; beyond any other verses, throughout our lives in this world. *HUGS DADDY* I can never ever imagine life without You, O my Abba Father in Heaven, ever again.

Wish above all wishes,
I wish for my Abba to shower His presence (shalom) upon me,
make His presence (shalom) overwhelm me;
till even the finest speck of black spot flee before my eyes,
till mountains depart and hills be removed, till the end of forever;
I shall never ever want to place even a single DNA of mine
apart from His presence (shalom)!

He is worthy of all praise!
