trembling at god's word
listening to pastor andrew speak about isaiah 65 and 66. he made an interesting point which got me thinking. trembling at god's word means not doubting it. doubting god's word is actually putting us go the judgement seat and judging god's word. but trembling at god's word is really putting god first and trusting it fully thereby trembling at its truth.
this is something that struck me about the arrogance of our approach to the bible. that we pick and choose the relevant on our terms.
at the root, god esteems the humble and the contrite who puts god's first. isn't that the root of a relationship? that we honour god and he will honour us. of course there'll be a cost to this. we'll be hated by the world. isaiah 65:5.
what does all these mean in light of a post NDR singapore? god tells us not to place our hope in worldly things. while the promise of a new singapore is heady, we should also know it'll come to pass. more babies or not, judgement will come. the new earth amd heaven will come.
our work of spreading the good news will have to go on. with even more urgency as more become more content in this world and less aware of human failing.
