Day 6

 What's the meaning of life?

Often many people wonder about that? Is there a meaning and purpose in life? The answer is, yes, there is a meaning and purpose in life if you know where to look for it.

We need to understand that often we have a stagnant spirit due to a secularized spirituality or even no spirituality at all. This causes us to run after emptiness. Trying our best to make the best of our lives by earning a lot of money, seeking affirmation in people, seeking love in human relationships. All these will eventually lead us to emptiness because it doesn't fill what is most important, our soul. 

We need to recognize that our physical body and the world we live in is temporal. What happens when life ends? Our lives can end in just a blink of an eye. So then, what do we pursue? 

Pursue what is eternal, something that cannot be taken away from us. Jesus Christ, our Lord and saviour is eternal. 

Jesus Christ, our Lord and saviour is eternal "and He is before all things, and in him all things hold together" (Col 1:17). In Habakkuk 1:5 we are reminded to "look among the nations, and see; wonder and be astounded. For I am doing a work in your days that you would not believe if told."

Dear friends, my prayer for all of us is to turn our eyes away from ourselves and look at this world through the eyes of God and see the eternal work that He is doing. He is the one at work, not us, we just have to be a part of it.

Day 8

 Life is a dream, realise it ~ Mother Teresa This quote from Mother Teresa stood out to me today. Indeed, how we choose to live our life will determine the happiness we get out of it. If we choose to live our lives chasing after emptiness, our happiness will be empty. Life is temporal, but God is eternal.   To whoever is reading this, I urge you to look beyond what is temporal and live for what is eternal. I leave you with this quote from Rick Warren, At most you will live a hundred years on earth, but you will spend forever in eternity.

An Inconvenient Obedience

 Today's devotion  by First 5 really opened my eyes to the idea of obedience. Often times we want obedience to God to be convenient. We fear stepping out of our comfort zone always and hope that we can be obedient and serve God where we are right now.  But the reading in Joshua 5:1-9 painted a different picture about obedience. The Israelites were now in enemy and they were now called to stop doing everything and be circumcised. God doesn't want us to conqure lands or do this and that for Him. He wants us to be set apart to Him. God doesn't promise that our obedience to Him will make sense to us.   He has never said living for Him will be convenient or painless.   What He  does  promise, though, is that He loves us, He is with us and we can trust Him.   God is now and forever worthy of our obedience.   And if He asks something of us, we must know it holds eternal significance. I fear the unknown. Fear of stepping out of my comfort zone and fo...

Day 5

Flipped Learning?  Today's post is a reflection of what I would like to share with teachers not just from my school but from all over Singapore about how we can better prepare ourselves for a hybrid learning environment where teachers and students will be placed on LOA / QO now and then. Hi everyone! I'm recording this video live in my quarantine room as I've been put on QO due to a confirmed case in my school. And so in today's video I would like to share my reflection during the time here. The reason why the title of this video is Flipped Learning is because I believe that the concept of flipped learning has an even more significant meaning now than ever before. Because, as we live with COVID-19 as an endemic, it will mean that students and teachers find themselves forced away from the classroom anytime and without any prior warnings. So how do we ensure that learning continues no matter the situation we find ourselves in? I believe that the answer is in Flipped Learn...
