It is a privilege to host a weekly cell group and today ten of us met to share fellowship and the Scriptures. We began with coffee/tea and refreshments, then celebrated the birthday of one of our members.
The rest of our time was spent in discussing the Scriptures. At the moment our focus is on "life in the Promised Land". The Israelites after entering Canaan still struggled with unfaithfulness, disobedience and grumbling.
What lessons we can learn from our spiritual forefathers. We are saved, yet continue "being saved" till eventually we arrive by God's grace in Heaven. We are all pilgrims on the journey of life to Heaven. May God grant us wisdom, grace and strength to keep persevering till we reach our Heavenly Home.
We were able to share complex issues like living in the multi religious society. It is not easy for many whose family embrace other faiths. As usual we ended with a period of prayer.
Thank God for His Word the Bible. In Hebrews 4: 12 we read that the Word of God "is living and active." Those who have taken the time to read it devotionally can testify to the effectiveness of the Word in our lives. God's word probes the deep secret recesses of our souls. We experience comfort often, but there are times we sense that discomfort in reading His Word when our hearts are not right with Him. Somehow the Word like a two edge sword divides us asunder, then puts us together again.
Let's make time for God's Word. Let's share His word with others.
