Faith comes by hearing...

It's only 2:35 right now but I was listening to the bible from the book of Matthew to right now, Book of Acts.

While listening to the audio bible, somehow, I felt convicted and moved by the Word of God. Ok, I was multi-tasking but my attention was mostly upon the word of God...

Even while having lunch, I had a revelation from God. That He is the source of everything. Yes, it may seem old but this is not a new revelation except that while listening to the Word, I almost burst into tears. This was because my parents and siblings were yet saved. I really want to see them saved but... I'm not sure when this will happen but I am not going to give up praying for them.

Besides that, I felt very grateful unto God for revealing this and for convicting my heart. Even while eating, I felt so grateful... Unto God that I do not need to worry about what to wear, eat, drink etc... I felt that I ought to live like the Children of Israel, while they were in the wilderness, depending upon the manna from God daily.

See, the Children of Israel depended upon God when Moses led them out of Egypt into the promised land. It was during this time, the time of Exodus that they were being provided for by God.

I admit this, that my parents are facing alot of difficulities now. Primarily, in the area of finances and in the business in the market. (They once reject and disallowed me to pray for them when business were getting better. I wanted them to know that it is God Who made it possible but... they... Are unable to see...)

I am pretty sure that business went bad due to the rejection. This was because it happened the very day they rejected the idea that I got some of my members to pray for them...

Anyway, felt led to write this as I am very thankful and grateful unto God for providing me and my entire family with our daily food. I really pray with all my heart, mind and soul that my parents and siblings will be saved. Also, that they would be blessed by God, least they work so hard... In vain...

This is heartache to me. It pains me to see my parents wake up at 4:30an and go to the market to work from morning 5am- 1pm. Then my mum would rush home to prepare lunch/ dinner till around 2pm, then take a nap and wakes up at 3:30pm to work in NTUC. After work in NTUC ends at around 7-8pm, she would come back and prepare dinner and then sleeps at 11:30pm. While my dad, who works in the night-shift from 8pm- 4:30am. (cause he rushed home to help out) This is HARDWORK!!! I feel the pain, frustration and anger within my dad as he's frustrated at his work place. He puts his heart into work only to be rewarded by criticisms and unhappiness from his collegues.

What's wrong with humans nowadays? When they get a job, are they paid to work or are they paid to slack/ sleep at work? What's wrong with working and doing what you are supposed to do when you are paid? What is wrong with their mind? My dad do train up people from time to time, being one of the (if not,) the best worker with great attitude, to do their jobs. When they have learnt their jobs, they turned their backs from the master. The one who taught them... This happens not once, but so many times in my dad's life. Some, even wanted to plot against his life...

I am not a racist. However, these people, whom my dad trained, were mostly, from a certain ethical group. It's alright for them to scold/push one another (for work) but when they seat at the table, eating, they get together again and seems like nothing happens while when my dad told them that they are to complete their jobs, they treat my dad like an enemy. These are sheer racist... :(
