Father God, just for today.
help me walk your narrow way.
help me stand where i may fall
let me listen to your call...
may my steps be your worship
may my thoughts be your praise
may my words bring honour to your name
~ Father God by unknown
Today's service was a bilingual service. Somehow i always enjoyed listening to a bilingual sermon. =]. was about tidings, or more of the kind of wealth that God wants us to have. pretty apt for me when i've just started working and wonders what to do with the money other than cover my daily expenses. compared to some of my friends, i'm much better off. i dont have to worry about my survival in the sense of paying my rent or buying my food. tidings apparently needs much courage. i remember how i first learn about giving the tenth to God in NCC. the analogy was when you have ten one dollar coins, all nine goes to you and one goes to God. doesnt seem that bad right. you're just having less candy and maybe eating bread for one recess. but as you grow up, you earn let's say 10 000. and you give God 1 000. that makes you think twice right. that 1 000 means you have less money to spend on perhaps clothes or to get that watch. (so on and so forth). many a times, we would think about what we can do with the 1 000 we give God. be it shopping, paying your tuition fees, buying presents yada yada yada. i guess we forget that what God can do with that mere 1000 is much greater than what we do with the 9000 that we would have. we would think of that tenth we give to God and forget to think of the portion that we're gonna be having...
thank God for his faithfulness, even to the unfaithful.
oh. happy cny and happy valentines day. @-/--
