5th day!

Today fellowship went to the south ridge walk! Haha. It was quite fun. Really saw God's work above us. Before we went on the trek, it was soooooo scorching hot! But when we started the trek, dark clouds came out and it became windy and nice! Haha. We thought it will rain halfway, but it rained exactly at the time we reached the bus stop! Haha. Thank God.

Bible verse: 1 Thessalonians 3 : 16 - 22

Daily devotion: Paul teaches us how to live our life. In life, we have to always be joyful. He also talks about praying. Never stop praying! Sometimes God might not answer our prayers, and you might think, well God don't care, why should I pray? Look at Paul. He begged God to take away a terrible problem from this life but he didn't get a response from God. Yet, he didn't give up. He continued to pray and also taught us never to stop praying! From verse 19 to 21, we Paul is trying to tell us how we are to use our spiritual gifts.  God given gifts are not some boring gifts we leave sitting in a drawer or on a shelf, but something that can change your life and help you be a part of strengthening the church. God's gift are meant to be used. The apostle Paul compared them to a fire and warned believers not to ignore them or throw water to them. Are you tempted to minimize some gift of the Spirit?

"Don't despise what God has revealed. Instead, test evrything. Hold on to what is good." Thessalonians 3 : 20-21
