Romans 8:14
"because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God."
羅 馬 書 8:14
"因 為 凡 被 神 的 靈 引 導 的 、 都 是 神 的 兒 子 。"
Daily Hope today talks about fear. It refers to how fear can drive you away from what God intends you to be.
I remember the fear every time I go onto the stage of leading singspiration on Sunday service. I was nervous every time. Despite having spiritual gifts in this area, I am afraid something would go wrong or that I read something wrong etc. Early April this year I volunteered to be a chairperson of the Sunday service, and I am still anticipating my first experience of this. What I know is God has been very good to me and His plans are perfect, even though it means being uncomfortable sometimes. He is definitely guiding me by the Holy Spirit. Amen!

Do it all for the glory of God
1 Corinthians 10:31
"So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God."
哥 林 多 前 書 10:31
"所 以 你 們 或 喫 或 喝 、 無 論 作 甚 麼 、 都 要 為 榮 耀 神 而 行 。"
Do you think that you can glorify God in every activity you do in your day?
Our personal relationship with God is the most important when it comes to glorifying His name. It requires dedication in reading His Word as well as prayer. It also involves fellowship with Him as well as living in a way that is Christ-like.

Live in accordance with the Spirit
Romans 8:5
"Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires."
羅 馬 書 8:5
"因 為 隨 從 肉 體 的 人 、 體 貼 肉 體 的 事 ． 隨 從 聖 靈 的 人 、 體 貼 聖 靈 的 事 。"
Daily Hope gives a very good message. There is always a battle between your old sinful nature and the new nature that comes from Christ.
Our minds can sometimes blow us out of proportion, and Satan makes his attack. Yet, do not forget that because we believe in Christ, Holy Spirit becomes our source of support. Pray that the Holy Spirit will guide us in building a new nature that comes from Christ.

Give thanks in all circumstances
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
"Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."
帖 撒 羅 尼 迦 前 書 5:16-18
"要 常 常 喜 樂 ． 不 住 地 禱 告 ． 凡 事 謝 恩 ． 因 為 這 是 神 在 基 督 耶 穌 裡 向 你 們 所 定 的 旨 意 。"
I know living in this world, it is almost impossible to be always joyful 24 hours every day. We have up and down moments. Yet, this is God's will that we need to be thankful for all things and circumstances, which you will then find joy in Him.

Keep the unity of the spirit
Ephesians 4:2-3
"Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace."
以 弗 所 書 4:2-3
"凡 事 謙 虛 、 溫 柔 、 忍 耐 、 用 愛 心 互 相 寬 容 、 用 和 平 彼 此 聯 絡 、 竭 力 保 守 聖 靈 所 賜 合 而 為 一 的 心 。"
During the camp this weekend, we sang "Be One" (合 而 為 一) which is our camp song. The lyrics contain the words in the above verses. A very good reminder for us to keep peace with others through guidance of the Holy Spirit.

The old has gone, the new has come!
2 Corinthians 5:17
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!"
哥 林 多 後 書 5:17
"若 有 人 在 基 督 裡 、 他 就 是 新 造 的 人 ． 舊 事 已 過 、 都 變 成 新 的 了 。"
Church camp is fantastic! Though I missed 2 days of blogging I found it refreshing and exciting to have Christ in my life :) New creation is God's work and we know that we are a new creation when we are in Christ.

The Narrow and Wide Gates
Matthew 7:13-14
"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."
馬 太 福 音 7:13-14
"你 們 要 進 窄 門 ． 因 為 引 到 滅 亡 、 那 門 是 寬 的 、 路 是 大 的 、 進 去 的 人 也 多 。 引 到 永 生 、 那 門 是 窄 的 、 路 是 小 的 、 找 著 的 人 也 少 。"
The gate that we need to enter is a narrow one. In contrast, the gate that leads to destruction is wide and many enter through it.
Perhaps we need to ask, how can we enter through the narrow gate? What does life mean to you, and do we think there is a lot of time left?
