28 Sep - Isaiah 54:1-57:13; Ephesians 6; Psalm 70; Proverbs 24:8
Yes I read the bible, but my schedule did not permit me to blog. But I am saying so not because of IDT, but I desire to read, and minutes my time alone with God. The bible is a message from God. I will like to write down that message.
Rachael asked why for this time round, I so desire to go to oversea. I will be going to the states for a week, from 27 Oct to 3 Nov. It is also a chance for me to get away from the hastle of my daily work, and a short get away from Singapore alone to have my own time. Time to be with God too - something like a get away.
I thank you God, that I serve a God not only belong to the Hebrew, but a God whose heart is also for us, the Gentile. I remember the special previleage of the Jews, the blessings that get from God. Must I, a gentile be grafted in, in order to be part of them and belong to the vine of life? Maybe, but how many of us can obey and fulfil the Hebrew Law, unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of God. Therefore Paul is right about saying, it is my faith and we are all justified by faith. But again, that does not give us, the gentile to forsake what the Hebrew did. They have the passover, the many festivals and that is to commermorate and remember the great miracles and events God has encountered with them.
Isa 56:6 “And the foreigners who join themselves to the Lord,to minister to him, to love the name of the Lord,and to be his servants,everyone who keeps the Sabbath and does not profane it,and holds fast my covenant—7 these I will bring to my holy mountain,and make them joyful in my house of prayer;their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on my altar;for my house shall be called a house of prayerfor all peoples.”8 The Lord God,who gathers the outcasts of Israel, declares,“I will gather yet others to him besides those already gathered.”
I consider it as a previleage, to be able to be accept in such a communion with the Lord Jesus Christ!
