2011 Feb 15 - Psalm 130 - Andy

Good morning everyone,

Very cold and rainy, take care.

Super appreciate everyone who need to get up in the morning to go to work today!

Especially we have the briefing section of ShineR yesterday!

Eva, take care la! Hope you get back into action soon, we are waiting for you!

Psalm 128 - 130

"If you, O Lord, kept a record of sins,

O Lord, who could stand?

But with you there is forgiveness; therefore you are feared." Psalm 130: 3-4

Today read some song of ascents (上行之詩)

As I remember, there are many steps to go to the temple, and in each step, the believers would read/sing a Psalm, to praise God. (Therefore called song of ascents)

This verse captures me that the writer fears God for his forgiveness.

We normally fears about the power and authority that God has.

but how God demostrat his power in a quiet different way, he uses a way that was stupid to mankind, but powerful in believers, his grace. He brings Jesus to earth and sacrifies him, in order to save us.

The verses remind me the words in the song - amazing grace

這般恩典，使我敬畏

Let us recall the significance meaning of the cross and the grace,

and try to fears God for his forgiveness.

We repent, not only fear the conquences but also as a grateful respond to God's forgiveness.

Hope we learnt and grow together.

Cheers,

Andy
