With their nation collapsing and their families breaking down, the Israelites doubted God’s love. This week, Rev. Jeremiah Cheung shows us how the Lord’s response also addresses the doubts and questions we have as we face the COVID-19 pandemic today.
Have you wondered, “Does God love me?” And does your answer change depending on your present circumstances? This week, Ptr. Genesis Tan urges us to weather moments of doubt and uncertainty by looking back and seeing how God has loved us, chosen us, saved us, and sustained us.
Noong panahon ni Malachi, tinalikuran ng bansang Israel ang Diyos at pinagdudahan ang Kanyang pagmamahal dahil sa hirap ng kanilang kalagayan. Ngayong linggo, ipapakita sa atin ni Ptr. Mike Cariño na ang Diyos ay nananatiling tapat at nagmamahal sa kabila ng paglayo, pagkalimot, at pagtalikod ng mga tao. Tulad ng kanyang panawagan sa mga Israelites, tinatawag tayo ng Diyos ngayon na magbalik-loob sa Kanya—mahalin, galangin, sambahin at pagkatiwalaan Siya.
Even as Israel was on the cusp of receiving the Lord’s terrible judgment, Amos offers a glimmer of hope. Let us forsake the trappings of religiousness and instead seek the Creator and do what pleases Him, for therein lies our salvation.
