I have tried shortening my paragrahs my dear readers! But it still does not seem to help much once the entries are displayed. Perhaps, the short width of my blogskin is the problem! Hahs.
Listening to Pastor Kong's preaching, I felt so blessed once again. Though I may be attending a make-up service, I nevertheless still felt so at home! The word God has planted into Pastor Kong's mind in sinply a word in season for me!
God never fails to remind me about Him everytime I am straying away from Him. I want to have my vision back! It is no longing me asking God to grab me tight, but me reminding myself to hold God's mighty hands tightly!
As I sat through the service today, two revelations came into my mind.
Very often, many have us have the knowledge of a particular matter. However, that does not imply that we may have understanding on it. So, my very first point is that knowledge =/= understanding. I have emphasised the importance of this logic to many people around me and I, once again would like to re-enforce this.
Knowledge gives us the data and information of a particular subject, however, understanding brings us to a higher level whereby we not only possess the necessary data and information, but are also applying the knowledge in the things that we do.
Let's take for example our foundations in the things that we do in our daily lives. Many of us may know that without a strong foundation, we wont be able to rise up. Refering to a high rise building as a reference, do you think that the building will be as tall as it is without a strong and firm base? If its base is weak, the building would have collapsed the moment the weight exceeds its so called limit!
Same over here, we can apply such a principle in our lives! Be it in the work place or even in schools! In our studies, if we want to score and do well, then we definitely have to get the fundamental knowledge of subjects and let our understanding be clear cut!
In the work places, we can refer to a newly promoted manager as an example. If the manager does not has a clear idea of what has been going on in the company and has been confused about all the job scopes in the company, then he will definitely not be able to get into the 'flow' of the company and may even return to his previous position if he fails to perform well!
In short, without a firm and strong foundation in your life, as you climb higher up, your risk of falling down will increase.
I lost track of my second revelation! But I will just sidetrack a little for this time.
I simply love Pastor Kong's sermon for this week and really want to thank him for bringing me closer to God once again. I want to be someone who will climb up after falling down and someone who will learn from my mistakes!
