Let me share some nuggets I reread from Scripture this week. Jesus taught his disciples precious truths and drew amazing lessons from his Sermon on the Mount (Matthew chapters 5-7).
Blessed Easter! Our Lord is Risen! Hallelujah!
For the past several weeks of Lent, leading to Easter, in meditating on Christ and the Cross, my heart is filled with gratitude even as I once again survey the wondrous cross on which the Prince of Glory died!
I have been thinking about the importance of prayer and the template Jesus gave his disciples in Matthew 6:9-13. As we examine our private and corporate prayers, very often they are for physical things more than for spiritual. We seldom ask God to help us live holy and blameless lives, lives of integrity that please our LORD! Often it¡¯s all about – Give us this day our daily bread!?
Yes, we must ask God for the things we need and thank him for his bountiful provision daily – our daily bread, our daily safety, our daily health, our daily well-being. But shouldn¡¯t we also ask for our spiritual welfare?
We have just welcomed the new year and soon we will be celebrating the Lunar New Year! As we focus on our walk with the Lord this year, l would like to share an article that Pastor Edmund Chan wrote recently to his friends and mentees on Spiritual Dryness. In this article Pastor Ed speaks of the “paradox of an outward busyness and an inward spiritual barrenness which is worrisome”. We may seem to be bearing much fruit but in actuality we may be truly barren.
2024! What will it look like for each of us? Maybe for some it will be celebration of weddings, promotions, awards, either your own, your children¡¯s, or even your grandchildren¡¯s! For some others it may be new ministries, new mission fields, transitions and retirement. Yet for others it could be challenging times ahead …..
As I meditated on these truths, verse 29 jumped out for me! We too like Paul, must ¡®toil¡¯ and struggle with the work that God has entrusted to us. We must work hard and do all that we can in our service to God. But the wonderful truth is that the energy that comes to us as we toil, is not ours! It is from God! It is God in Christ……
