Magnificent God, magnificent salvation.

Today is sunday, church day. Went to church, injured my toenail. So happy my dear came to my service today! Really appreciate her efforts! She drove alone to church i was so worried! Today's sermon is on salvation. Message was preached by 梅牧师. Today is also the Holy Communion. So message is very apt. Oh yea, talking bout 梅牧师,something quite funny happened few days ago. I was eating dinner with my sis at tampines basement, tepanyaki stall. They would normally ask whether u want any drinks before u enter to sit. So they were asking (fyi, my back is facing the counter so i don't see anything.) someone, whether they wanted drinks. And i heard this reply, "水我们家里有得喝,不用了! " and the voice sounds familiar! So i turned around and to my surprise! Its 梅牧师!He's so funny. Haha. But he's a nice guy. Good pastor.


Salvation

Salvation is for everyone and we all need salvation. We are like people who cannot swim, drowning in the middle of a vast ocean. Jesus who is on a boat, stretches out His hand, and says, believe me! I can save you! He is the only boat around. Its no wonder Jesus wants to make us fishers of man! After we're up the boat, we should be striving to fish and reach out to more people to board the boat!! Just like David says, like a deer panteth for water! Despite the dangers, the deer seeks the water! What more after we are saved! If we are on the boat, we should not be idling, should start fishing man!

"Even though the fig trees have no blossoms, and there are no grapes on the vines; even though the olive crop fails, and the fields lie empty and barren; even though the flocks die in the fields, and the cattle barns are empty, yet I will rejoice in the L ord ! I will be joyful in the God of my salvation!"
Habakkuk 3:17-18 (p.s this is also the verse of the day for my bible app.)
