the past week has been a very tiring week (been oversleeping every single day!), rather amazing one filled with exciting events, and fresh experience of God.
was asking God for wisdom... more wisdom... n daniel 2 spoke to me in my situation.
Then Daniel praised the God of heaven 20 and said:
"Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever;
wisdom and power are his.
21 He changes times and seasons;
he sets up kings and deposes them.
He gives wisdom to the wise
and knowledge to the discerning.
22 He reveals deep and hidden things;
he knows what lies in darkness,
and light dwells with him.
23 I thank and praise you, O God of my fathers:
You have given me wisdom and power,
you have made known to me what we asked of you,
you have made known to us the dream of the king."

John Piper – Don’t Waste Your Life
God’ s purpose for my life was that I have a passion for God’s glory and that I have a passion for my joy in that glory, and that these two are one passion…. God created me – and you – to live with a single, all-embracing, all transforming passion – namely, a passion to glorify God by enjoying and displaying his supreme excellence in all the spheres of life. Enjoying and displaying are in it, we will display a shell of hypocrisy and create scorn or legalism. But if we claim to enjoy his excellence and do not display it for others to see and admire, we deceive ourselves, because the mark of God-enthralled joy is overflow and expand by extending itself into the hearts of others. The wasted life is the life without a passion for the supremacy of God in all things for the joy of all peoples.
