I went to church last Saturday. I hadn’t been there since April when I started work that led me overseas and all. It had been a roller coastal 2007. Life had settled back down again, and I am feeling the settling effects, for better or worst.
It was a very impromptu though of giong to church. I hadn’t plan it. After doing my days’ work at I suddenly felt that I wanted to go to church. I had the time slot for it perfectly blocked out with Nothing at all. So i went to church.
It was a good feeling going back. It soothes me. It calms me. It overwhelms me.
It makes me think about all the good in my life again and how not to fret for all the uncertainties in my life.
The message for the session is below. I had taken some pointers and I hope you would be able to take away some wisdom as well.

exodus 33:2 – I will send an angel before you and drive out the Canaanites, Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites.
exodus 33:12-16 – Moses said to the LORD, “You have been telling me, ‘Lead these people,’ but you have not let me know whom you will send with me. You have said, ‘I know you by name and you have found favor with me.’ If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways so I may know you and continue to find favor with you. Remember that this nation is your people.”
The LORD replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”
Then Moses said to him, “If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here. How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us? What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?”
sophistication or spiritual power
- a bit more complicated
- more cultured, more educated
- sophistication does not change people’s life
- only spiritual power can change lifes
- it comes from people who long for God, more than anything else
if god does not go with us then we do not go at all.
moses demande more than a representative of God, he wanted God’s presence.
isiah 40: 39
- deliberately note towards intimacy with God
- deliberately depend on the Holy Spirit
