hi friends,

just want to share with you an interesting experience i encountered in the midst of my office shift. i have 2 bosses above me, one is my direct manager, the other one is the head of my agency. during the office shift, i realised the agency head who is a catholic, wanted to shift a small scupture on his table, the shape of a lion, those they normally place near the doors, to the new office. i was quite shocked when he requested for red paper to blindfold the lion's eyes for some fengshui reasons.. all these while, he also requested for radio to be on at all times in the office, for unknown reasons which i didn't bother to ask.

during the shift itself, my direct manager asked if whether he could get his fengshui shi to take a look for in the office for me and my teammate, my teammate who also happens to be a christian said ok and i thought since the process didnt have to involve me, im ok with it. i was chatting with my christian teammate and she mentioned that the agency head had many significant changes after he supposedly, made some fengshui adjustments.

i kept pondering after that and wonder how i would react in different senarios, for eg. if my direct manager comes to me and tell me which seat i should take. etc
when i was doing my devotion, i decided to read Acts because i thought Alvin would also be reading near Acts and God spoke to me through this verse:

Acts 1:18
18(With the reward he got for his wickedness, Judas bought a field; there he fell headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines spilled out. 19Everyone in Jerusalem heard about this, so they called that field in their language Akeldama, that is, Field of Blood.)
20"For," said Peter, "it is written in the book of Psalms, " 'May his place be deserted; let there be no one to dwell in it,'[d] and, " 'May another take his place of leadership.'[e]

many times, we find ourselves in a senario when we turn to the world for rewards and it does reward us.. But does it trully satisfy us? No.. it does not, in fact sometimes in the midst of chasing after our "rewards" we lose too many things altogether.

He's our provider! and as peici reminds us.
He's our Fortress and refuge, our God whom i trust.
We only enjoy the rewards that come from Him best.

May His word always be our guide and truth the days of our life.

The Fellowship of the Believers
42They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. 44All the believers were together and had everything in common. 45Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. 46Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, 47praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.

to be remembered in prayer,
aaron :)
