BUSY period

Hi all!
me again after few weeks hasn't been blogging...I've been quite busy with uni works and overwhelming exams...i am somehow feel so anxious especially for my accounting exams...the first exam i had was quite ok...i am quite pleased with what I've done and all the efforts i've put in...thank God for perseverance =) hehe

i have my accounting exam in 3 days and i know i am  still NOT ready...I've been staying up late to study and wake up early so that i can get a good spot at UNSW library and study effectively...(eventhough i still dont get why uni is quite full already even at 8am in the morning!) which means i have to wake up even earlier tomorrow =P

God has been good though...during this busy, stressful period, people around me are just being so thoughtful and encouraging...thanks people for the prayers =)

Another thing to thank God for is the time I can spend with others to dig into the Bible, and it's great to be reminded again from God's words....
Last Friday, during Pelita Bible Study we looked at the book of Malachi, we're up to the last chapter of this book and it's been great! The book tells us about Israelites and how they treated God unpolitely and disrespectfully.. and shows that God is instead should be feared! While on the other hand we know that He is good and JUST =)

In chapter 3, it shows the contrast between the people who feared the Lord and people who are evil...it shows the characteristics of each. From this, the book of Malachi then shows the rewards

"16 Then those who feared the Lord spoke with one another. The Lord paid attention and heard them, and a book of remembrance was written before him of those who feared the Lord and esteemed his name. 17 “They shall be mine, says the Lord of hosts, in the day when I make up my treasured possession, and I will spare them as a man spares his son who serves him. 18 Then once more you shall see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve him."

we as His creation should fear him, it's a great rebuke for me personally of how sometimes i think do small sin is not a big deal...while it does show how rebellion we are as His creations. We too often not fearing the Lord and put Him aside...while in this book, we canclearly see how the wicked will be cursed and in the other hand, there is encouragement for doing the right thing..because God will remember us and we will become HIS treasure possession. isn't it a great encouragement, especially for us who believe in God's promise?
For our God is good and He never change!
