Review of the book David by Charles Swindoll- Part 1

 This book talks about David , a bible character from his young tender age as a boy till him as a king.

In chapter 1 , there was this one sentence that i think will reasonates with all of us out there. It is that Greeks look into brains, brawns and beauty and never look into the inner beauty of the person. It makes me realize that most of the time people will not look at the inner beauty of the person even at work. So packaging your self to the max including getting plastic surgery to look good is the norms nowadays.  Would there be even real natural beauty now ? Are we getting too extreme with our own looks?

In chapter 2, it talks about King Saul. King Saul was a good looking and tall guy. However, his flawed character got revealed when he was made as as King. His character was selfish, angry, hateful, mean-spirited man. It daunt on me there is a leader within us. So what kind of leader are we potraying to others?  How to know what kind of person I am in my deepest most being? Most of us like to potray ourselves to others in the best light so that we are able to survive. Do we really have the ability to see beyond the obvious ? Can we avoid by not just looking at the capabilities but by the heart?

3 Timeless lessons in david's life:
  1. God's solutions are often strange and simple, so be open.
  2. God's promotions are usually sudden and surprising , so be ready
  3. God's selections are always soverign and sure , so be sensitive. 
God never forgets me even I am alone or a nobody.

In chapter 3, God can use something in ur past to use it in the most incredible ways. Music, an antidote for depression. Psalms are for folks who feels that music is an art , requires a pure heart that is after God and can be used for times of refreshment, recovery , times in which emotions seem to be gettting out of line. Jesus rose from the dead to give us the desire and the power to live a positive , fulfilling life free of the cage of human depression and despair.



In chapter 4, how can I then have the ability not to be impressed by man based on looks or be intimated by the problems of life?
No matter how big the giant be, God is greater. And no matter how powerful he might be, God is all powerful.





 

Breathing Room- An extra room has magically been added to your home overnight. The catch: if you add more than three items to it, it disappears. How do you use it?

The 3 items I would add to the room is my bed, a book, and a cup of ice mocha. It would be my special sanctuary where i want to be disappearing from home. I would want to disappear ...I think i disappear already also no one will know ....

Adding 4 items can get me a free disappearance from this ugly world is the best thing.

 

You are on a mission to Mars. Because of the length of of the journey, you will never be able to return to Earth. What about our blue planet will you miss the most?

If i will never be able to return to earth, the people i  think i will miss most is my partner veron, mom , bf and also my business.

Veron is because i found a confidante in her, Mom is because of her cooking , Bf is because of that I love him and my business is because it is a way of me trying to impact the world by helping others to build healthy lives and home.
