Rush rushes Us
Rush, rush, rush! These last three days have been mad for me. I attended SBC Founder’s Day morning chapel on Thursday 25/08/05 and FES(CW) 35th Anniversary yesterday night. Also I started bible study on Biblical Truths with Lawrence and Eddie (but he went on MC) using the book, “Ten Things a Christian should know” by Huang Sibian. I also had lunch meetings with a few of my youth leaders from Hebron.Though, I of sort of rushing from one thing to another, I was resting and learning from God’s word from the sharing @ chapel, the bible study and even during the meetings... Thanks to the food, there’s rest for me. >_<
At the morning chapel, I was ministered to by the songs, especially the refrain sung during the Anniversary Cake Cutting Ceremony.
“Great is Thy faithfulness (2X)
Morning by morning new mercies I see,
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided,
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!”
Most of you who knows me, knows that I’ve finally started my full-time service with Hebron. And some of you who knows me, knows that I am in the process of setting the direction of Hebron Youth Spectra for the years to come. And that I’m in the process of talking to people, getting their feel of the ministry, challenging them to commit to participating in the ministry, etc. This refrain encourages me to press forth, in what I’m currently doing, and also for the things I’m planning to do.
His faithfulness is great, because morning after morning, I’ll get to see His providence with new mercies from Him.
Then the theme for this 35th Anniversary “Responding to Changes with No Change”（以不变应万变） reminded me that the ever changing reality is that change never changes. It’s how we perceive and understand change that is changing. hmm… Think I’m losing myself here… Anyway, after the “Presentation”, one of the responder said, “In this time and age, we need to be reaching the people via the internet. There are millions of opportunities for all the students and alumnus in this medium.” Kudos, ain’t some of us already at it… Well, it was a timely reminder that a bit more emphasis can be channeled to those on the web.

And of course the bible study… Though, there was three of us (Lawerence, Qiu Ling and I), we couldn’t finish lesson one. Haha, but we spent a huge chunk of time discussing what is worship about and why we need to have it, and so on. Anyway, I’m once again reminded that it is the one and only God that we’re to worship. In the bible it says, “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.” This to me is supposed to be our response to God in our worship.
As we rush about doing things that needs to be done, it actually rushes us about, commanding us to do this and that. Rush rushes us, but God says in His Word, “Be still and know that I am God.” Let take heed of what He says to us and set apart time, so that we can be still before Him. As we come into His presence, let us come with the sense of reverence and awe, that we can love Him with all our heart, soul and strength, knowing that we love because He first love us.
