Living a Simple Life - Obey and Worship the Lord

Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London- 01Aug2025

Living a Simple Life - Obey and Worship the Lord

Scripture Reference: Ps 95:1-5, 8

Ps 92:2 says, Let us come before HIM with thanksgiving and extol HIM with music and song. Let us march into HIS presence singing praises, lifting the rafters with our hymns!

And why? Because God is the best, High King over all the gods. 

Two things that Jeopardise this close relationship with the LORD is that stubborn and rebel. I call it as Push and Pull dialogue in a conversation. If we pay less attention, the discussion or dialogue go into different direction than we anticipated.

Let us pay attention to this conversation style between Moses, God and the People.

Ps 95:8 says- Do not be stubborn and rebel as your ancestors did at Meribah (Compliant) and Massah (Testing) out in the desert. 

People: Thirsty/ Kept on complaining to Moses. Give us some water. Did you bring us out of Egypt just to let our families/ animals die of thirst? Almost ready to stone him to death.

Moses to People: Why Pester me? Why are you testing GOD?

Moses to God: Moses cried out in prayer to God, “What can I do with these people? Any minute now they’ll kill me!” What am I going to do with these people?

God: Take some elders, a walking stick that you used to strike River Nile. That was Remanent. Remembering God what He has done in the past!

God issued an instruction- STRIKE THE ROCK WITH THE STICK while the leaders watching. Water was brought forth out of the Rock (Ex 17).

This reminds me that Trusting God in our life is very simple act that we can do. At times, we complicate the things and make it complex and mess. Let us obey and Worship Him always in all situation.

When we do thins on our own, it's just an action. When we do things as per God's instruction, it become Miracle.

So come, let us worship: bow before HIM,
    on your knees before GOD, who made us!
Oh yes, HE's our God,
    and we’re the people HE pastures, the flock HE feeds.

Peace be upon the State of Israel and us. Shalom. Have a Good Weekend. 

In His Grip

God rewriting life stories

God rewriting life stories Reference Ps 18:20-24 Psalm 18:20–24 (The Message) captures David’s reflection on how God restored and renewed his life when he fully surrendered to Him. In Eugene Peterson’s paraphrase, the language feels vivid and personal—more like a heartfelt testimony than a formal psalm—showing how God restores, remakes, and redefines those who turn to Him. Amen. "God rewrote the text of my life when I opened the book of my heart to His eyes" is perhaps the most powerful image here. It shows that when David welcomed God into his innermost being, God transformed his story—redeeming it, reshaping it, and giving it new meaning and purpose. Hallelujah!  David says God “made my life complete” when he laid everything before Him, and that God “rewrote the text” of his life. This language highlights honest surrender, repentance, and the experience of being restored by God. 2 Corinthians 5:17 makes the same basic claim in a more compact form: “if anyone is in Chris...

I will Bless the Lord

I will bless the Lord, at all times...  Reference: Ps 34:1 - I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. One of the most important attitudes we can embrace in life is making it a habit to bless Him continually. I use the word “lifestyle” on purpose—it’s not just for when we feel like it, but also for when we don’t, because it’s essential. It’s not only about what we do, but who we are.  David’s steady commitment was clear in his words. He received countless blessings from the Lord even before he became well-known. Before everyone knew his name, the Lord knew him for his constant praise and gratitude. Out in the fields, tending sheep in the green pastures, he would sing, dance, and bless the Lord. That was David's preparation to the bigger assignments.  Verse 4 from this chapter really spoke to me: I sought the Lord, trusting in His word, and He answered me, delivering me from all my fears. So, I bless the Lord—Amen, Hallelujah. He...

Real battle, Different rules

Real battle, different rules Refer 2 Cor 10:3-6- NIV- For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds . 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 6 And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete. Paul's tone changes sharply in 2 Corinthians 10. After pleading gently for generosity toward the poor, he turns to face his critics, and he is no longer soft-spoken. They claimed he was bold on paper but timid in person, a man who threatened discipline from a distance and would never dare follow through face to face. In short, they questioned whether he had the apostolic authority he claimed. Paul's answer was to describe his ministry as spiritual warfare. The world is unprinciple...
