17 Sep - Isaiah 25:1-28:13; Galatians 3:10-22; Psalm 61; Proverbs 23:17-18

Isa 25 encourage us to look to the greatest of our God.

25:4 For you have been a stronghold to the poor,a stronghold to the needy in his distress,a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat;

26:4 Trust in the Lord forever,for the Lord God is an everlasting rock.

Indeed, how great is our God!

It is therefore not too difficult to talk about his greatness, but I too know that a lot of people do not bother about this great God - who cares as long as I live a stable and contented life.

The greatest of God has to be personalized. How many of us can say our God is the God of Abraham, Issac and Jabob, the Lord that deliver us out of Egypt - NO, surely no. Then why do we say how great is our God, when we have not witness his greatness?

Look not too far away - the pretty flower, His creation! His greatness may not only come in strength - like that of thunder and storm, but His love for us - so much so that He has showered us with blessing. The very fact that we are alive showed the greatness of God. Wonder what keep us alive?

Josef and I talked about Cain and Abel. We talk about giving the best to God - why? because God first give to us - He gave us Jesus, to pay for our sins so that we can get back to Him. That gratefulness is enough to propel anyone who intent to return gratefulness with material oferring to God. He first bless us. Indeed, pastor was saying revival come also with the revival of the wallet. The best way to show someone your giving is to open up your bank account - which I bet noboby did.

Yes, China, Yunnan. Lord I pray for I do not where to start, what you intend me to do, who to approach and how in whatever. Indeed, if you lead because it is your plan.
