Those who hope in the Lord
I just happened to be doing my daily bible reading, and today, I was supposed to read from the book of Isaiah, chapter 40.
The thoughts in my mind prior to reading the verses were something along the lines of "Wow. Long weekend is upon us. Finally. We can take a deep breath from the busyness, stress, tiredness of the week."
I wonder if you all feel the same?Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; (Isa 40:30)
But after reading till verse 31,
but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. (Isa 40:31)
Our human strength is finite, but here's a secret to how we can soar on wings like eagles (without drinking red bull =p ) or run and not grow weary. Continue to hope in the Lord (in other translations "wait upon the Lord"). Spending time in His presence during your quiet times being silent before Him and obedient to His commands. For in doing so, will you find renewed strength for life's daily challenges.
This is certainly something I need to be practicing more. cheers!
Gambatte! =]

Holy Week Services - Monday
Hi guys,
thought I post something first, before the cobwebs start appearing. Heh.
Last night, I attended the Holy week service and it was kinda interesting. There wasn't a sermon preached and all we did was sing hymns, pray and read through the first 7 chapters together as a congregation (some people took turns reading to the congragation). Our very own Teng Teng read some of the verses.
Anyways, Pastor emphasised a few verses from Luke 4. They were the 3 responses given by Jesus when tempted by Satan in the desert.
- 'Man does not live on bread alone.' (Luke 4:4)
- 'Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only' (Luke 4:8)
- 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test' (Luke 4:12)
For your thoughts and reflection. =) If you are unable to attend the services from Mon to Thur, do read along with the rest of the church as we are gonna finish the entire gospel of Luke by this week.
