Day 7

How did the cross of Christ demonstrate both God’s justice and His mercy?

Today's devotion reminds me of the purpose of the cross. Why did Jesus have to die on the cross? Psalm 89:14 tells us that "Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; steadfast love and faithfulness go before you.". God is a god of righteousness and justice because in Him there is no evil! This is so important especially in today's world where lawlessness and injustice reigns supreme everywhere. People are suffering because of the lawlessness and injustice of the world we live in today. Just like Habakkuk, we cry out, 

"Why do you make me see iniquity,
    and why do you idly look at wrong?
Destruction and violence are before me;
    strife and contention arise.
So the law is paralyzed,
    and justice never goes forth.
For the wicked surround the righteous;
    so justice goes forth perverted."
Habakkuk 1:3-4

Make no mistake my friends, God is a god of righteousness and justice, He will punish us and everyone on earth for the sins we have committed. However, because God's steadfast love and faithfulness goes before us, God sent his one and only son Jesus to die on the cross for our sins. Through Jesus, we are make righteous and God's justice is served. Let us surrender our lives to the one whose blood ran red so that our sins may be washed white. We owe our lives to Jesus, let us worship Him in spirit and in truth! And let us share this good news to all those who have never heard this news before. May God bless you through this day and the days ahead of you.

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...
