WORD: Go for Gold
Steve Houston • Psalm 131
- REALITY CHECK: Some things are out of our reach (131:1)
✓ There are some things beyond everyone’s reach. (:1a)
We can’t determine morality, identity, and society.
✓ There are specific things beyond your reach. (:1b)
We need ambition, but limitations are real. - HEART CHECK: Better things are always within reach (131:2-3)
✓ We are to calm down our childish demands. (:2)
Let’s learn to let go! [Trust in God’s providence.]
✓ We are to quiet down our childish cries. (:2)
Let’s listen to the truth! [Trade in false ideas for true.]
✓ We can be fully content in knowing God. (:2-3)
Let’s long for the Lord…above all…from now on!
We sigh (:1). But God sings (:2). And so we shout (:3).
PRAY: Taiwan Long Term Mission
- Pray for Rev. Lincy Tu’s church planting in Taoyuan Xinzhuang-Li. May the Lord keep her healthy and give her strength.
- Pray for Pastor Hsieh Ruilin. May the Lord lead him to find a house for the gospel center, and have more communication with the local residents so that he can share the Lord’s love.
- Pray for us to seek whether we can financially support church planting of Xinzhuangli Gospel Center and make it our next long-term mission plan in Taiwan.
- Pray for the needs of grassroots evangelism in Taiwan. May the Lord enable churches to provide more support for evangelism.
