15 I meditate on your precepts and consider your ways.
16 I delight in your decrees;
I will not neglect Your Word.
Psalm 119
As young people, we always look for things that are modern, up-to-date, and catchy. We know much more than the youths in our parents' generation, and we are exposed to the world. But, do we really know everything we need to?
Somehow, there is this lack of passion for God's Word in our generation. Probably it is the stigma that it is of the past, it is too literature and aren't interesting. So where do all the sharing on God's Word is living go to?
God's Word is living. It is real, and present to our needs and circumstance. It surpasses time and is steadfast to all generations. There is no single doubt to many that God's Word promises and gives hope. We are all hyped up when it comes to worship and fellowship. But do we come with the same passion when we seek God's Word? Or is it another time of boring religious teaching?
It is when we are young that God is able to mold and shape us. Since God's Word is living, we who read and hide it in our hearts will be filled with life. Our ways are guided by His ways, and our thoughts by His truth. Do you rejoice in following God's Word, like in verse 14? What attitudes do we come with when we discover His Word? It is when we come with a teachable spirit and an expectant heart that we will experience this life that He so promises through His Word.
Look forward to!:

Prayers from the Body:
Wee(:(: We are filled with joy for Sister Jolene and Brother Jowill who has taken their step of baptism on Wednesday! Indeed, may this day be almost memorable to them as a mark of commitment to follow Jesus and His ways. And for those who aren't yet baptised, we do hope you will continue to grow in your relationship with God as you grow to know Him better:) Do keep Brother Darren and Sister Jia Ling in prayers as they continue to trust God for healing for their mother. God has kept them thus far, and we wanna thank God for His faithfulness. We know God is in overall control, and He is in full knowledge of each and everyone in the entire family. Let's stand together with them in this time of trying period and be such a support to them, that they may be filled with joy and courage.
While our poly students are enjoying the remaining days of their holidays, we wanna make an effort to pray for our secondary school students who are in the midst of their final year exams. We pray that God will grant them joy and strength to persevere through each day of preparatory work. Indeed, God will give them rest even as they put their hearts and soul to excel. Keep it going guys!
Do remember our NS brothers (Joshua, Yu Po, Matthew, Ziyao, Josiah, Ian) who are undergoing their trainings in various ways. May the presence of God oversee and protect them as they go through their activites and under their authorities. Pray also that they will stand strong on God's promises for them and be a living testimony that draws men to Jesus! Strive on brothers!
