7 May 2008

1 Sam 1:15 But Hannah answered, “No, my lord, I am a woman troubled in spirit. I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I have been pouring out my soul before the Lord. 16 Do not regard your servant as a worthless woman, for all along I have been speaking out of my great anxiety and vexation.”

Brokeness was the key. Like Hannah counter-part, the other wife of her husband, when we have abundance we leave God out of the picture.

Learn from the situation of Hannah. It is not that we have to come to that stage in order to get something back from God. But it is the attitute. We may have abundance - give thank to God for His blessings, but we come to God with a broken spirit - a yearning and thrist for Him.

I want to leave my plans to you on who to take over the business, how to grow the business and what next. What are the plans for me in China?

I pray for my family members. Let Josef and Deborah be like Samuael, of lent to God or a loan from God. I pray as parent we will know how to guide and teach them in the area of growth. Keep them safe always.

I pray for the many plans you have for Rachael, that we will arrange all her time table and that she may know that you are a God who will bring her to a green pastures.

I pray that this family need not to go through a time of great anxiety and vexation, but seek God in the likeness of Hannah.
