muse of a mouse

Sometimes, when i think about the greatness of God and imagine myself standing before Him in His majestic holiness, I feel as small as a mouse. Lol. I don't know if others also experience this, but this is a poem a wrote sometime back about that feeling.

MUSE OF A MOUSE

Coming full circle
From light to darkness
And darkness back to light
The mouse finds herself in pristine white light

Groping for a cover
Scrambling for the shadows
Trying to hide
From the light of the Almighty
But alas, in this place no darkness dwells
God is light in whom there is no darkness
Nor shadow of turning

Realizing that she has nowhere to hide
The mouse coils herself up
Whiskers nervously twitching
Hiding her unworthiness and shame
From the eyes of the Almighty
Was not this the moment she had desired?
Was not this the longing of lifetime?
To stand in the presence of the Almighty
And walk in His pristine white palace?

But standing before His Majestic Holiness
All she knew was fear
Of the evil He would find in her heart

Yet where will I go from your Spirit?
And where will I flee from your face?
If I ascend into heaven, you are there.
If I descend into hell, you are near.


To see your face, is to know joy and shame
Yet search me, O God, and know my heart:
Try me, and know my thoughts:
And see if there be any wicked way in me
And lead me in the way everlasting.
I surrender all to you.

Stalker God?

One Sunday during a church Bible study on salvation, the Bible study leader spoke about the coming judgement and told us that God keeps a record of the things we do and we will be judged according to our works. Someone asked why God follows us recording everything we do to judge us on the last day when He Himself had said we're saved when we believe in Christ. The leader asked the congregation if any of us had an answer and I shared my opinion. I gave quite a lengthy explanation on the difference between the judgment of Christians and the judgment of the world, the various crowns and rewards that will be given on the last day, and the fact that our lives are an eternal record of the glory of God and an example to the world. Everyone seemed to like what I said and I was applauded. After church, one of the junior pastors told me that he liked my answer during the Bible study class and I left, feeling a warm glow inside. As I thought about it, my mind was opened and I underst...

Dumsor Reflections

It’s six pm. You’ve had a long and tiring day. You leave the lecture hall as fast as you can, thinking about taking a bath, eating and relaxing in your room. But immediately you get to your room, the lights go out. “Ohhh ECG!” You probably scream. But go out for a while. Do you see something? Have you noticed that the nights the lights are out, the lights of the moon and stars are more easily seen and are brighter and more beautiful? Have you ever paused to reflect on that? In this world, we’ve surrounded ourselves with so many things and put on our artificial lights so bright that they create a haze around us and the light of God is not able to shine as brightly as it should in our lives. All the activities we’re doing are good, but if in the end they don’t leave us with time to fellowship with God, then it’s all vanity. It’s good to give in to your cravings and pamper yourself once in a while but when the desires of the flesh don’t allow you to exercise self-control and hi...

Moses' Excuses

Moses will always be remembered as the great prophet who led the Israelites from slavery in Egypt to the promised land in Canaan. In fact, the Bible says there has never been any prophet like him with regards to fellowship with God and signs and wonders (Deuteronomy 34:10-12).  Yet when God called and commissioned him, Moses like most of us was very reluctant to go. After his failed attempt at helping his people and living as a shepherd for forty years, he certainly had lost his confidence and fire. These are the objections he tried to give God: 1. Who am I? (Exodus 3:11) 2. They will not believe me and will doubt that I really saw God. (Exodus 4:1) 3. I am not eloquent (Exodus 4:11) 4. Send someone else pleeeeaaassseeee. (Exodus 4:13) Nevertheless, God who had called and chosen him from his mother's womb was patient and persistent. He promised to be with Moses every step of the way and He will be with you too. After Moses had ex...
