“Your Word is a Lamp to my feet
And a light for my path.”
~Psalm119:105~

“In the beginning was the word and the word was from God”. It was such a privilege for us today to read the words of God and without knowing his word; you will never be able to understand the will and the heart of God.

As this year of Sabbath begins, Senior Pastor has been leading us into reading a Psalm a day as well as challenging us to memorize the scripture. This has indeed draw me nearer to God and be more committed in reading his word as I follow the direction of the church.

“I have hidden your word in my Heart
so that I might not sin against you.”
~Psalm119:11~

Memorizing the scripture may not be easy for us as we often struggle with our daily busy schedule. We question ourselves,” we have so much report and studies to handle, how can we set aside the time to memorize the verse. Even if I do so, I will surely forget within a week!” But pause and think for a moment, if you don’t start memorizing the word now, there is a dangerous tendency that your mind and heart will be brainwash by the worldly issue. When crisis or storm hit you, you will be like the house built on the sand, collapse and be blow away. By memorizing the word, it serves as a reminder for us to walk in His ways. Even when storm hit, you will stand firm like the house built on the solid ground cos God’s word has filled your heart and it serve as a strong foundation for you. Only when you put the word in your heart, you will be able to meditate on it all day long and be careful to do everything in it.

My prayer for all of you today is that May the Holy Spirit burn in your heart a desire to love God’s word, a commitment to memorize the word. May you grow stronger in the lord and learn to draw strength from God in every situation!
Let’s us all not be only a hearer of the word but let’s be a Doer of the word!

God Bless you!
Jiayou for all those who are having your examination!

Love,
