Please click this link to read Genesis 29
When morning came, there was Leah! So Jacob said to Laban, "What is this you have done to me? I served you for Rachel, didn't I? Why have you deceived me?" Genesis 29: 25
What I received from Jesus today is: You'll eat your own fruit!
We read how Jacob deceived his own brother Esau. Now, he was being deceived by his mother's brother, Laban. What would you feel if you were Jacob? Seven years! What I got from Jesus today is that Jacob knew that was the consequence of his sin and he had to accept that as a severe lesson for him to learn.
Well, God sometimes give us difficult lessons to learn. Some people may be totally collapsed by those unacceptable events but some who accept those as challenges will soon experience God's transforming power. That was how Jacob moving more and more closer to God and he even being named by God as Israel and became the father of Israelites!
Watch out of what you say and what you do, don't eat your own rotten fruit!
Dear Lord Jesus,
Help us to be very careful of what we say and what we do so that we won't eat our own rotten fruit. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
**An hour ago(Sunday 2:30p.m. now) Michelle and I were having lunch with our church choir members. Our Music Director, Edmund Cheung said, "Silas, I understand what you said about the best thing in last night's Schola Cantorum Emmanuel's concert was "life". I really experienced a powerful outburst of life in all of us when we sang especially when we sang "Hallelujah" and "Worthy is the Lamb/ Amen"." Yes, it was indeed a powerful concert yesterday night. Please click the two links in this post to listen to how we praise God yesterday. The recording was just taken from a small camera and not a good recording. I'll give you the link of our official recording once Andy Li is done for the whole concert.
When we praise the Lord like that spirit in this psalm we will know the "life" and power right away of the joy we received when we praise Him! All of our Schola members and those who attended yesterday's(Saturday's) concert felt the same way that we were richly blessed when we richly praised our Lord!
Thanks to our son Ignatius who took a wonderful and powerful photo of me capturing the "life" in this concert and with his comment on his face book:
Live fully. Live passionately.
You know that feeling when you do something you love, and time seems to stand still?
It's not quite clear, but you've lost in the moment of it.
Congrats to Schola Cantorum for singing Handel's Messiah today!
