MOVING ON.

I am close to the finishing line for the o level examination.
Nonetheless, I still want to stay faithful to the word of God.
I think its really important that I stay rooted to the word.

I was meditating on Hebrews 8 and 9 just now.

I have been struck by a few points.

Cos it talks about God making a new covenant with the people of Israel because
the old one was obsolete and imperfect.

Then I thought about several ongoing changes around me.
I am quite a routine and boring person.
So I tend to delight in routines and I prefer things to be beyond my control.
I prefer to stay the same, especially the circumstance and my surroundings.
But I guess changes are inevitable.
I think that it is due to the fact that the circumstance, the things and the sort of life is not perfect, that's why God place changes in life.

Many say, change is the only constant.

I agree.

And I think changes occur because God is constantly placing us into path that brings us closer to his perfect plan.

If what we wanted or what we hung on to was so perfect in the first place,
changes wouldn't have occurred. That is why the most holy place, as mentioned in Hebrews 8 and 9 was completely replaced.

There were flaws in it.

These flaws were perfected through a new covenant, the death of Christ.

Yea, and the song 'journey' kept replaying in my mind.
Journey, life is a journey.
A very very long journey indeed.
It seem like an endless journey with the unpredictable future.
The progress, the time and the distance.
How long more will we take to reach our final destination?
How far are we away from it?
Are we on the right path to our final destination?

But through and through, God is there to guide and to lead. :)

I am so thankful that I came back to where I belonged.
I just feel so thankful and contented for all that I have in life.
Be it the good or the bad.


8:10
But this is the new covenant I will make with the people of Israel on that day, says the Lord: I will put my laws in their minds so they will understand them, and I will write them on their hearts so they will obey them. I will be their God, and they will be my people.

8:12
And I will forgive their wrongdoings, and I will never again remember their sins."

9:14
Just think how much more the blood of Christ will purify our hearts from deeds that lead to death so that we can worship the living God. For by the power of the eternal Spirit, Christ offered himself to God as a perfect sacrifice for our sins.

9:26
If that had been necessary, he would have had to die again and again, ever since the world began. But no! He came once for all time, at the end of the age, to remove the power of sin forever by his sacrificial death for us.
