Taste and see that the Lord is good.

I woke up just a while ago. Flashes of memory came back from when I just got saved at 17.

Firstly, I was just saved when I was by myself, in my room. Feeling depressed and heartbroken and ya kinda felt God said it was time to go to church. Like... Why did I know it was God? dunno... Guess God had to break me down to show He was real.

Secondly, I thank God for blessing me with Hosea as my Cell leader when I was still a young Christian. Haha... thinking about that... I became a nerd trying to learn the hiphop bboy culture.
Still remember how my JC friends laughed at me when I told them I got saved and was learning to breakdance. Hmmm... First sign of persecution? Haha... Well somehow I am a mix between both now...

Thirdly, God showed me that He does amazing things.

"27But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 28He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, 29so that no one may boast before him." - 1 Corinthians 1

I was told in secondary school that I would never be a leader because I was too indecisive. I was actually only promoted to 1SG in NCC through the earlier batch of spec course by mistake. I was supposed to go for the later batch... which meant that I was not good enough. Why did that happen? God must have been watching me all along.

But lo and behold, I became a leader in the SAF. Tears to my eyes... I never would have imagined that would be possible. Personally, I know I could have done better in many areas while training (See la... Why didn't you go church regularly then?), God helped me pull through so many times. Finally, as my platoon sang with all gusto..."We come from many places, All across the land..." We marched into the parade square singing. As my parents put my rank on my shoulder. I felt God was telling me now the weak would shame the strong.

I do not want to gloat, but out of my NCC bunch... I only knew that there were only 2 unexpected people who became officers. When I knew that... I still can feel that God was there saying that he would choose the weak, not the strong.

If you think you are strong and capable, how would God bring glory to Himself through you?
If you know you are weak and need God to accomplish great things, truly success would bring glory to Him alone, not you.

Commisioning Ball was another breakthrough too... haha... but I'll tell u all about that another day... haha...
