Youth Sermon

Well, 23/8 youth sermon was done by sis. Vanessa. She said she prayed a lot what to preach about as she was given a free title. She had chosen the theme "wait upon the Lord". It was nice and it hit me, like a bullet hit my thumbnail, which means a very low possibility to impact me.

The sermon was based on the verses which were 1 Kings 17:1-9. As she spoke on how should we wait upon the LORD, it came upon me that, God had asked me to wait Him but my faith was low. My calculator was lost and whenever I decided to buy, my heart was no peace. So, He said that I should be waiting as He would return the calculator to me. And for twice I was down and prayed for encouragement, they came on the next day. I had no more reason to deny that God wanted me to wait.

Till this time, it became more obvious that it was definitely His will. As Vanessa said, if we would to follow Christ, we would to suffer, maybe not because of our sins, but because of others'. It was just like prophet Elijah had to suffer because of Israelites worshipped idols Baal. It hit me 100% as my lost of calculator was not of my fault. And now, I know that what I should do and how to wait upon the LORD, as the Bible says, "but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength", Isaiah 40:31. The LORD is really a a living God. Praise Him!
