Psalm 125:1-2 (NIV)

1 Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion,
which cannot be shaken but endures forever.

2 As the mountains surround Jerusalem,
so the Lord surrounds his people
both now and forevermore.

Today’s scripture speaks about putting our trust in God. When we put our faith in Him, He will surround and protect us so that we will be like Mount Zion and endure forever within His protection.

As I set my intention yesterday to draw closer to Him, I found myself putting aside more pockets of time to spend with Him. On the Grab ride to meet my friend, I took 20 minutes to sit in silence with Him. On the train ride home, I did the same thing. While there was the itch to get on my phone to consume, I found myself wanting to set it aside and connect.

I saw a post on Twitter yesterday: “Stop spending time consuming and start spending time producing.” This message stuck with me all day as I reflected on how much time I’ve spent doomscrolling or on YouTube since being back in Singapore. I realized I was using it as a form of escapism, and a video I watched recently said this is one way the devil stops us from doing the work God wants us to do.

While I still watch YouTube sometimes, I’m setting the intention to use my time more productively. One way I’m doing that is by spending more time in meditation when I feel uncertain, instead of immediately consuming content. There is no better use of time than dedicating it to God.

I woke up a little earlier today but still felt like sleeping on, so I did my 46-minute lay-down meditation. During moments of dozing off, the thought of starting something in eldercare kept appearing. As I continued letting the thought go to focus on my breath, it kept returning.

There are many older adults without family who need support through their golden years. Their assets vary greatly. I wondered: how can we care for both the haves and the have-nots? Is there a way to build a business or community that supports them in a way that benefits both groups?

As the world ages and birth rates decline, this aging population issue will bring unprecedented challenges—and opportunities. Not every senior has family to care for them until the end. Many are also unprepared for the digital age. Preparations must be made to ensure those who built the world for us have options to live their later years in the best way possible.

This thought came to me, and I committed it to God. I will expand on it and see if there is something meaningful to build in this area. May God open doors if this is something He wants me to focus on as well.

I also did my 46-minute seated meditation today and really enjoyed the sit. Before starting, I reminded myself that this time with God is not “occupied” time. I don’t have urgent tasks to rush; I can dedicate this time solely to Him.

Today’s main takeaway was realizing how hard I’ve been on myself regarding meditation. Thoughts may come, and that’s okay. I used to think these thoughts stopped me from improving, but today I simply committed them to God and felt a small ease of mind. This little joy I focused on made the sit go by much faster. Before I knew it, the alarm had rang.

Every sit is an opportunity to connect with God. Instead of viewing it as something I need to do, it is slowly becoming something I want to do. This slight shift in perspective is something I will continue to meditate on today. I want to find the joy in my daily actions once again.

The crypto markets look to be recovering, just in time as I aim to move from consuming to producing. While writing this, I only checked my Phantom wallet once. Compared to the past, I would had checked Twitter, Binance, Phantom, Gmail.. you get my drift. I am reaffirming my intention to stay focused on one task at a time, rather than alternating between them. Renewing my dedication to meditation is helping me strengthen this focus and I want it to permeate through my daily life.

It has been a good start to the new year. Six days in, I feel myself trying more than last year. There is, of course, much more growth to do and improvements to make, but I feel more at ease.

I cast my fears and burdens to You, Lord. Guide me and help me to continue improving. You have been giving me signposts to not give up on life but to take steps in the direction You lead. Thank You, Lord, for not giving up on me. I will keep the faith and move forward.

For I know that if I trust in You, I will not be shaken and will endure forever.

Let’s make this day a blessed one.
