Pertinent Bible verses

The LORD has dealt with me according to my righteousness;
according to the cleanness of my hands He has rewarded me.

For I have kept the ways of the LORD;
I have not done evil by turning from my God.

All His laws are before me;
I have not turned away from His decrees.

I have been blameless before Him
and have kept myself from sin.

The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness,
according to the cleanness of my hands in His sight.


You armed me with strength for battle;
You made my adversaries bow at my feet.

You made my enemies turn their backs in flight,
and I destroyed my foes.

They cried for help, but there was no one to save them -  
to the LORD, but He did not answer.

I beat them as fine as dust borne on the wind;
I poured them out like mud in the streets.

You have delivered me from the attacks of the people;
You have made me the head of nations;
people I did not know are subject to me.

As soon as they hear me, they obey me;
foreigners cringe before me.

They all lose heart;
they come trembling from their strongholds.

The LORD lives! Praise be to my Rock!
Exalted be God my Saviour!

He is the God who avenges me,
who subdues nations under me,

who saves me from my enemies.
You exalted me above my foes;
from violent men You rescued me.

Therefore I will praise You among the nations, O LORD;
I will sing praises to Your name.

Had a great time chatting with my youth pastor Wilson Barnabas Koh about the things of God!

i overestimated my own strength. i could manage sending 200+ SMSes but not receiving 200+ replies! They simply drove me crazy yesterday.

O Lord, have mercy on us here on Pulau Tekong. Please send down Your tears of compassion as rain now. It's getting hot in here!

The most regretful thing i have about this (shit) compilation of A Level results is after slogging my (tight) ass off, i can't submit a good end-product. It's beyond my job scope! There's a reason why i'm only a Section Commander, not an Officer. Only those on the ground know how it feels to be overworked/underpaid. i'm so exhausted that my sentences are incoherent. Pardon my self-pity again.

i'm approaching an important crossroad of my life. May God guide me along the path which He has planned for my life and may i follow Him!

Went exploring the island on my mountain bike again. Very gorgeous sunset. Exotic wild boars, monkeys and monitor lizards. What a privilege!
