Timely Words

Psalm 27 is a good psalm. I guess one can say all psalms are good. However for encouragement, psalm 27 is good. I might be repeating myself, but sometimes it is hard to wait and while waiting, expect something to happen. If you're doing nothing and expecting something to happen, then that's just plain laziness. If you're doing all you can and just are focused without listening, then I guess that's trying to be self-made.

The hard part, the toughest part, I'm learning the hard way - and trying not to overdramatize it as I sometimes do - is doing all I can, and then learning when to stop and listen. I get caught up doing all I can and then I don't listen to the small voice inside. I get so focused on getting the thing right, to do all I can. Sometimes listening and reflecting will save me the hours of workaround time. Sometimes I should go and chill out more.

Something I learnt is - if I want to improve something or have a nagging thought to improve it, then I should just do the improvement, and get the thought out of my head. Yups, procastination sucks. I'm a master procrastinator sometimes, but trying hard to deal with it and kill it off once and for all. Sometimes it's just so easy to lie back, relax and say - oh let's just do it later. But then later always comes along with a stack of other things. Then more stuff just gets piled up for much later, probably never to be done at all.

Psalms 27:1
The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

Nothing like a proper word to come in at the right time to encourage.

Now off to bed and rest before another day's work.
