Rest in the trust of God
Friday, October 27, 2006
Being situated in this modern era, busyness seems to be a part of our everyday routine, especially in the non-stop city like Hong Kong. Both of our body and spirit are continuously being drained as if we don't have any choice to walk away from it. We even make an excuse to say to offer our lives to God in any situations in order to let ourselves to do the best we could in anything that we can possibly put our hands onto. Just because of either responsibility or perhaps scared of people saying that we are not being passionate enough for the things we do, we always try to come up with a lot of ideas and plans…(in fact, are we being too strong in ourselves, and unable to be humble in the presence of God?)…As a result, our body, soul and spirit are all hurt by our over-do.
As Pastor Li has experienced this unexpected illness in his life, he would like to remind some brothers that they should have body check-up for every half a year, for Hepatitis B carriers, especially AFP, which is related to liver cancer, . And I would also like to remind my beloved brothers and sisters and myself included that we should be rested being with God.
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28)
“Be still, and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10)
“And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all work of creating that he had done.” (Genesis 2:3)
“In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength, but you would have none of it.” (Isaiah 30:15)
