He loves Rainy Day



Your dad loves rainy day.
Whenever it rains, he feels happy and fresh.
There are few reasons why he likes rainy day.
Rainy day washes away the dust and haze of our
polluted sky. God is still the best Environmentalist.
Rainy day brings cool air to our Malaysia hot weather.
It is very refreshing when rainy day comes.
But above all else, your dad loves rainy day because rain remind us of one important truth: God's Words and Promises are trustworthy!

'For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return there without watering the earth and making it bear and sprout......so will my word be which goes forth from my mouth; it will not return to me empty without accomplishing what I desire, and without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.' (Isaiah 55:10-11).

When rain falls, it reminds me of God's trustworthiness.
We never seen rain return to sky half way dropping.
Likewise, we will never see God's word return to Him in vain.

Rainy day is wonderful.

Curiosity without Knowledge spell Danger

You begin to crawl around in the home actively in your 8th to 9th month.
It is a joy seeing you with excitement discovering new things while you explore every corner of the house.
You open drawers of the kitchen, you take out books and papers from a box in my reading room, you stuck your finger in what ever small holes you can find, and of course, electrical wire and plug always attract your attention.
In this stage of your growth, your mom and I most frequent used word in the home is 'No!'.

Son, curiosity is God-given.
It is given so than man can learn and uncover the truth.
But with limited knowledge, your curiosity have risk, when you touch, hold, pull or taste things you are not suppose to.
Curiosity without knnowledge spell danger.

Son, learn to celebrate your curiosity within the boudary of God.
Your life will be fulfilling and exciting.

You will understand one day why we have to say 'No' to you and stop you from exploring things you should not explore.
We just want to protect you.
Even when you are in adulthood, your curiosity still need to be checked.
Because of our sinful nature, God-given curiosity has been distorted. It drives us to harmful things that we should not touch, see or taste.

How do you check your curiosity then?
By our point of reference: God inspired Word written in the Bible.
God's word is sufficient not only to say 'No' from outside, but to give us strenght to say 'No' from the inside (our hearts and wills).
