I was reminded of this verse yesterday. The past week hasn't been the best of weeks, with me facing difficulties on 3 fronts of my life - for example, this was the first ICT that I was completely handling and in charge of, what with Robert ORD-ing, and away overseas on a timely vacation. Nevertheless, I was comforted through my qt that I did  over the week and felt comforted by Him. On hindsight, no problem was too tough and I only hope that this knowledge will be able to strike me whenever I face the same problems - and I will face the same problems.

      And what better way to sum up the week with a song! I went to Nadine's church last evening - along with Ian and Vanessa - and the guest pastor introduced a song that really spoke to me. A word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver. With so many portions in the lyrics (thankfully not the ICU portion) relating to my past week, I couldn't have missed what God was telling me -  even if I may be blur like sotong. 
   
     So to those who may be feeling down, discouraged or feeling ill-equipped, may this song be an encouragement to you, knowing that you are not alone. And may I add, knowing that God is always with you is not something new but I guess this is a lesson to be learned for me - to not be overcome with the stressful environment or circumstance but understand who is standing with me.
