Life is a race
That i need to face
Sometimes it's tough to keep up the pace
And I get lost without a trace
I want peaceI need peace
The Prince of peace
Given me peace through His grace
True peace can I now embrace
By filling the X spot in the X- ace, life is viewed in various perspectives.
1.No doubt life is a R-ace. A race is what drives us to the finish line. To finish life on top. To fulfill and achieve the best you can possibly able to. Don't race for nothing, know what race it is, why are u racing, and who r u racing for?
2. All of us need to F-ace it. Every breath we take supplies us the air for us to work our muscles and continue racing. Who gave us the breath of life?
3. Nobody likes to fail, but sometimes it is through falling we can learn to be stronger. There is no need to be ashamed of failing and hide oneself without any T-race. Everyone goes through it. In our weakness, He is magnified. Don't worry when u fail, coz He never fails.
4. P-eace is what we lack, what we want, and what we need. Men look for peace in theirwallets. But is not money the cause of unrest?? True peace can only be given and not bought. What is true peace? Only the Prince of Peace can give you true peace and rest needed for this race.
5. All we need to do is Embr-ace. True peace is experienced if one would only receive it and embrace Jesus. Yes, embrace Him. Don't just know Him, embrace with all your heart.
It is true that God is omnipresent but if u want to feel the amplification of His presence and if u are curious who this Prince of peace is.. come on over to GRYP youth alive :)
forgiven and not forsaken,
Issac

Devo Thought
written by: Jennifer Low
Hey ppl,
Just thought share something that came across during devo this week from the passage in Numbers 9:15-20. It's about how the Lord lead Moses and the children of Isreal in the wilderness using the pillar of cloud during the day and fire during the night. What actually struck me is this...
"...20 Sometimes the cloud was over the tabernacle only a few days; at the LORD's command they would encamp, and then at his command they would set out. 21 Sometimes the cloud stayed only from evening till morning, and when it lifted in the morning, they set out. Whether by day or by night, whenever the cloud lifted, they set out. 22 Whether the cloud stayed over the tabernacle for two days or a month or a year, the Israelites would remain in camp and not set out; but when it lifted, they would set out. 23 At the LORD's command they encamped, and at the LORD's command they set out. They obeyed the LORD's order, in accordance with his command through Moses..."
The Israelites followed the cloud/fire wherever it went. Because of that, they could not settle down permenantly, everything that they built/set up was temporal. They had no idea what the future was or when they were to leave again. Somedays, it could mean setting up their tents and then tearing it down again the next day. They just trusted God, their Leader to lead them.
Sound really 'mar fan' eh? This is a good encouragement especially for some of us who are constantly involved in ministries in church. Sometimes we think that we have already done so much that we can't go any further or everything seems to be never ending 'doing' or 'going.'
But our lives here on earth are meant to be like that...like the children of Israel... not being able to settle down permanently and be comfortable till we reach the 'promised land.' It's never our purpose to live & be happy here but to strive further in whatever we do for God.We may not know what is in store in the future but we have to continue to do His work and trusting in Him to be our Leader... Our final destination is in Heaven and not on earth :)
Was a good encouragement to me, hope it is too for u!
Be cool, Christ Cool!
