the last week of holidays, the first week of 2012.
thank God for the much blessed time of fellowship with kz, ss, susanna, jo, enli, fangyu, jema etc.
Pro 25:25 As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.
my heart has been much gladdened and refreshed by these cold waters, hearing of God's goodness and mercy in the lives of many of my brethren, sharing our burdens one with another and finding unexpected solace and comfort in mutual understanding.
thank God for the new night class on "The Names of God". thank God for the many reminders to bring me back to an intimate walk with Him. To know Him only as He reveals Himself, and not as we imagine Him to be. For our corrupt mind can only corrupt the image of God and create idols unto ourselves. Thank God for revealing Himself, for letting us know Him.
How excellent is Thy Name, O Lord,
How excellent is Thy Name!
Heaven and earth together proclaim:
How excellent is Thy Name!
Psa 8
O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.
Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:
All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
