Hi guys, I hope things are good back home in sunny Singapore. It's FREEZING here. so cold that I had to stop shopping and go home. Can you believe that? stop shopping! haha.
Anyway, hope you guys are following the 40 days of prayer booklet that the church gave out. I'd just like to share a passage from July 14th, about the Sabbath. "What is the Sabbath? Simply put, it is a day of rest when we cease from our normal routines, our usual preoccupations with projects and profits. And while we do need physical rest for bodily rejuvenation, the Sabbath is not to be a do-nothing day. On the contrary, the Sabbath is for us to consciously draw closer to God, to take stock of our lives and to develop our spiritual relationship with Him. God intends for the Sabbath to be a delightful time, a holy day set apart for business with Him."
Go read Isaiah 58:13-14, it's a great scripture about the Sabbath.
Basically Sabbath is not about doing nothing or getting a chance to tell your parents "Oh it's the Sabbath so cannot do homework and can go play". NO.
I think that if we really honour the Sabbath and the fact that we need to spend it with God, we should organise our lives such that we have already finished all our homework or studying during the week and so that on Sunday we are free to have fellowship in church or just spend some time with Him. know it's not easy to finish studying and all by Saturday but I'm sure if you guys put your mind to it, it can definitely be done.
And honouring the Sabbath is also about making sure you sleep early on Saturday night so you can wake up on Sunday morning to be on time for church. *hint hint to certain people*
Yup, hope you guys have learnt something and I think it would be great if we could use this QT material as a CG so that we can grow together as a CG and a church. And if you have any questions about the material you can BOMBARD mel on Sundays! haha, kidding! feel free to ask me online too.
And I would definitely like to see you guys use this blog as a platform for spiritual growth. I think our CG is bonded enough already. hahahhahaha. Forever only know how to fellowship fellowship. heh.
Toodles!
