Rebuilding the dry cleaning store and the temple...

We drove by the almost burnt down dry cleaners last nite after brother GD's prayer meeting and saw a phone number posted on the door... so we called and finally were able to get our dresses and jacket back! Praise God that I don't have to go buy another jacket for Grandaunt's funeral!!!

Anyway, during the prayer meeting, brother GD reminded us to rebuild the temple of God... not just the local churches, but since we are God's temple now, we ought to actively build up and equip ourselves with God's word of truth and we ought to draw closer to God in prayer so that He'll draw close to us. It's critical that God's temple be built on the foundation of truth and it's critical that God is with us... for otherwise, what's the point? We also need to build one another up in love... plus we have to take care of the sheeps God has given into our hands. Yes, there will be troubles, but brother GD also reminded us that the glory of this temple in the future will surely be greater than its past. May we glorify You Lord God... for you deserve all the glory!

Today's reading is about Mordecai. The guy is kind of like Joseph. Very faithful... or in a way very stubborn... refused to bowed to Haman and consequently pissed him off to the point of putting all the Jews in danger!!! But of course in the end, God crushes the enemy and saves the day and then lift up Mordecai on to a high up place! May we all have the patience, endurance, faithfulness of Mordecai or Joseph so that we may wait trustingly in You Lord... until one day, you lift us up like a soaring eagle! :)
