The heavens declare the glory of God;
And the firmament shows His handiwork.
Day unto day utters speech,
And night unto night reveals knowledge.
There is no speech nor language
Where their voice is not heard.
Their line has gone out through all the earth,
And their words to the end of the world.
In them He has set a tabernacle for the sun,

An idea coupled with action can be a watershed moment in one’s life. God has given us the human mind with the greatest of potential, may we use it well to give honour to our Creator. ~ Cheong Kok Weng
“… But he who gathers by labor will increase.” Proverbs 13:11b
Our current state just shows where we are now: a new start_with purpose, focus & action to unlock our God-given potentials. ~ Cheong Kok Weng
Our present state does not (necessarily) determine our destination, but start TODAY as long as there is a TODAY.. to begin – may we choose the course and direction wisely. May God help us to have the courage to ‘sail the seven seas and discover new insights, horizons and wisdom’ and MOST of all to know Him.
May we intentionally “pen” positive changes into the daily routine, for “life journaling” to take on a great dimension, with God’s given potential! ~ Cheong Kok Weng
However do remember this crucial scripting process in one’s life journal: Eternal destiny – God has done His part and He gave the power of choice TODAY to you to script your eternal destination – you eternal destiny is a matter of your choice!
Though we cannot change the past, God grants us yet a pen with capability for each of us and the amazing privilege to write the future pages. ~ Cheong Kok Weng
In fact, God allows or grants us the mandate to write (decide) our eternal future or destination whilst we are still alive on planet earth or whilst alive in space (remembering our astronauts in space – our fellow human beings).
Each of our completed lives on earth will be a closed book … and we will not be allowed to write anymore concerning our sojourn on this planet because they have thus ended.
Deuteronomy 30:19I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live;
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
“He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
God created us with immeasurable power to make, being inspired for, and to choose positive changes in our lives… and also make to make a valuable difference in the lives of others …with His help we will accomplish much. ~ Cheong Kok Weng

The human mind has incredible potentials and what we plant, will take root, grow and flourish irrespective of what is planted in the fertile soil of our minds – plant the good seeds, not weeds, briars & thistles, and receive great crops. ~ Cheong Kok Weng
What kind of seeds are we sowing into our minds? Would it not be a surprise if we planted grapes and briars came up or vice-versa? It is a natural law to reap what we sow. Every action has results.
“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.” Galatians 6: 7-8
