When we look to the world, we find only cause for fear and despair. This week, Rev. Jeremiah Cheung reminds us that, if we lift our eyes to our Lord and seek Him with an attitude of humility, we have the assurance that He will show us mercy in our times of desperation.
When people treat us with contempt, how should we respond? Ptr. Jared Co uses Psalm 123 to remind us that we must look up to God when other people look down on us. For when we look up to Him, we are reminded that Jesus died for us on the cross and that we can count on new mercies from Him.
Kung mananatili tayong nakatitig sa mundo, malulunod tayo sa dami ng karahasan at kalupitan na makikita natin. Ngunit kung itutuon natin ang ating mga mata sa Panginoon; maasahan natin ang Kanyang naguumapaw na awa. Inaanyayahan tayo ng Psalm 123 na tumingin at magsumamo sa Diyos dahil Siya ay maawain.
To love God, we must love God’s family. To love God’s family, we must love our brothers and sisters in the body of Christ. This week, Rev. Jeremiah Cheung exhorts us to build one another up, care for one another, and encourage each other as we continue on our spiritual journeys together.
