So very thankful for the Daily QT Group and its discipline.

Every single year after camp- even back when I was still a foolish fledgling- I'd always "strive to have better QT" in the next year.

Surprise!
Never. Ever. Happened.

They always say to never wash your dirty linen in public, but here goes anyway (it's essential to my gratitude): my family doesn't really have the habit of doing QT.

So after all that spiritual growth, during the next 6 months it'd just be a gradual [sometimes even rapid] decline back into my secular (wo)man.

But now!!! 2014!!! I really don't know how to document this relief.

The sharings from the other's QTs are a mixture of rebuke, encouragement, promises, instruction, even history. What a treasure trove of wisdom!

As 2 Timothy 3 : 16&17 says,

16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

Thoroughly furnished unto all good works- QT has indeed started to equip me for battle against Satan!

Ah yes I was talking about the discipline.
When I don't feel like doing my QT, seeing others post makes me feel guilty.
And also somehow I want to post as well, to hopefully touch someone in the group to grow in God!

This is like i-feel-so-obligateddd instead of crap-they're-gonna-cane-me-if-i-don't-post.

So anyway when I do get around to doing QT, I realise that I can learn another thing of our Almighty Father. It's always so cool, yknow, deciphering the Bible.

And then when i see the summaries that the others post! Sometimes they are so motivational/scolding that i really want to know the commentary behind it.

This 18 days (+ camp days x2)
I've probably learnt a lot more about my faith than a few sermons combined.
QT is like constant revision, so yeah, trying not to dip in my spiritual studies! :P

Setting my affections on things above, after realising how foolish i was to place Him second last year.

Also God is the only constant- and a good Person to htht with. He promises us help and strength when we need it :')
