verses read: Galatians 3:1-14, Proverbs 11:15
prayer: 15 minutes
Paul launches into a very harsh rhetoric in this passage. He calls the Galatians “fools” several times; he has quite a sarcastic tone in this passage actually. Anyway, he’s so angry as the Galatians had fallen prey to the teaching that works are necessary for salvation; sad to say, such teaching is still present in some cults. It is interesting that the problems that plagued the early church still plague the church today.
Didn’t go to the gym yesterday; my back was pain again. I guess the problem is due to the re-arrangement of my bed, and in some weird slopping position, so my back isn’t properly supported when I sleep. Honestly, I’m praying for rain; so that my room (which is pretty empty now) can be flooded again, then we can pin-point the exact location of the leak and start working on that. If not, my room will be in this weird position till it rains. Irritating.
Watched the “look who’s cooking” VCD last night; after watching it, you can tell which of the pastors can cook! (Hint: the bigger sized ones!) Bishop’s lasagne looked the best among the lot! I think I will try that recipe one day! But first, I have to try Yoke Lin’s cheese cake. I’ve been cooking savoury stuff for so long; need to try something sweet for a change. (Yes, I can cook; you can ask the YM com if you don’t believe me.)
I’m finally done with all my YM commitments for the year. Like Amy told me last night; time for me to rest and leave the rest to them. Yup, will be taking a break from YM stuff for a while. How long a while, I will leave that to God to decide. The days are getting a little long drawn, prayer times have started getting shorter because I don’t know what else to pray for. Laid yet another one yesterday; it’s getting tougher as the days go by. The past week has been very down for me, the silence is just so painful. But obedience demands this period of silence. My results are due in about 24 hours; will break silence for a while a day later.
He who puts up security for another will surely suffer, but whoever refuses to strike hands in pledge is safe. – Proverbs 11:15
