    Remembering

    hihi, I got out of the house much earlier today. Actually, I woke up early for personal retreat at Mackers! "MacDonald's" in assuie term. A new term I learnt today. Hey Derek did I use it correctly? Hee... =)

    The sun is out and my pace - much slower compared to the usual weekdays. I took my own sweet time as I walked to the train station cause i've got plenty of time to spare. Today I felt that I have entered into a completely new environment. It is the usual route but everything looks different. The air is smoothing and refreshing. The cone shaped plants along the cannel are blooming with little red flowers. That is one spot I have never take notice until today! =P They looked like giant strawberries - huge, yummy and juicy! The crows resting along the railing seems restless and satiated. hmmm had a hearty meal of worms for breakfast I presume. Hee... my imaginations running wild huh. Somehow, everything that crosses my path looks extremely beautiful. I was moved to utter a prayer of thanksgiving.

    Anyway, I managed to spend some personal time reading the article on Biblical medicine for daily living and reflecting on Sunday's message. Some pointers on what I have learnt

    Christ's love for his people: unconditional, sacrificial, divine, one single offering made once for all humankind, giving me the confidence to enter into His Sanctuary.

    His Sanctuary
    : a sacred place that is set apart as a refuge
    "You shall keep My Sabbaths and reverence My Sanctuary: I am The Lord." Leviticus 19:30
    We are all called to rest and take refuge in God. Adam was created on the 6th Day to entered into God's rest "SABBATH"

    In addition, Sanctuary is used in reference to the Tabernacle or the Temple, can also be applied to the Promised Land itself.

    The Promised Land itself was a type of Sanctuary. Uncle Raymond shared last Sunday about remembering God's promises. Caleb a man who held on to His promise for 40 years, not complaining, but re-collecting, confessing positively, meditating on God's faithfulness and trusting Him.

    so what am i trusting God for? do i remain steadfast to the HOPE without wavering whenever i face circumstances? this is a spiritual battle and a very fierce one. This is the course of daily living in Christ. am i ready?

    got lots to say but I think I better stop. till next time when i wake up early again and have lotsa time to spare. *hahahahaha*
    Alritey! Have a gd day
