A full weekend 19-21 March
His grace is all sufficient!
Our destiny is to live an ordinary life in the divine dispensing of the Divine Trinity.
We need to learn to be satisfied with ordinary days that are filled with normal and regular practices in the divine dispensing of the Divine Trinity.
Below is one of my ordinary weekends with the Lord growing and working in me.
Friday 19 March
Unforeseen work on Friday kept me working late. I was bit complaining, since it would not leave me enough time to cook for the home meeting. But the Lord is sovereign and He used this circumstance to bring a visiting scholar from China to the home meeting. Praise the Lord! Of course, sweet fellowship and delicious love feast.
Saturday 20 March
Radio seminar at Cardiff.
9.30-11.00 travel
11.00-14.00 distribution. Enjoyable time with my dear sister!
15.00-17.00 seminar (Christ is life in us!)
18.30 dinner and head back to Bristol
21.30 meet up with two contacts who stay with me overnight
Sunday 21 March
5.00 get up and walk them to the bus stop
7.30 call my parents (Lord, deepen the hunger in them)
8.30 preparation for the love feast
10.30 meeting (Praise the Lord for Priya and Robby), serve children
12.45 lunch
14.30 cleaning
17.30 prepare dinner
18.30 dinner with saints
21.30 clean up

Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Look full in His wonderful face
And the things of earth will go strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace

God's keeping power
1 Pet. 1:5 Who are being guarded by the power of God through faith unto a salvation ready to be revealed at the last time.
2 Tim. 1:12 For which cause also I suffer these things; but I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that He is able to guard my deposit unto that day.
Jude 1:24 But to Him who is able to guard you from stumbling and to set you before His glory without blemish in exultation.
Joshua 14:10 And now, look, Jehovah has kept me alive, as He said, for these forty-five years, since the time Jehovah spoke this word to Moses while Israel walked through the wilderness, and now, look, today I am eighty-five years old. (11) Today I am still as strong as I was on the day Moses sent me out; as my strength was then, so my strength is now, for battle and for going out and coming in.
2 Tim. 1:12 For which cause also I suffer these things; but I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that He is able to guard my deposit unto that day.

很享受的几点交通
又读了一次这个手记
很享受弟兄们的几点交通
我们都需要意识到我们每一位都在神自己为我们所命定的旅程上
虽然我们活在身体生活里，
我们的行程完全是我们每一位和主之间的事情
得胜者的特征是完成他的行程
当我们在走我们的旅程时，我们需要维持我们与主那可爱的起初的爱（上好的爱）
我们需要在时间，环境允许的时候
多和主在一起
多让神来爱我们
让他的爱更多的流入我们
我们也需要过一个持续奉献的生活
唯一的路乃是
接触那作为燔祭的基督
并与他是一
我们需要过一个在耶稣人性里的生活
我们不能把我们对主的绝对
强加在那些还没有足够恩典接受的人身上
帐幕里的器物的基本的基本元素是木
皂荚木
木外包着金
基督徒的生活是神圣的人性生活
我们必须工作，勤奋的工作，在我们的工作上忠信
不要过一个分割的生活
要凭着里面神的生命勤奋工作
虽然不是放下工作的全时间服侍者
但却是向着神
照着全时间服侍者的生活原则过生活
在生命上长大
要渴望生命的成熟
主啊，让我长大，我仰望你，
不要让我停留在属灵的青少年时期
使我能成熟
我们需要学习在主里扎根
心向主敞开
让主在我们里面畅通无阻
神会借着喂养洁净我们的动机
对付钱财
最基本的原则是
给
有心于召会实际的服侍
甚至在体力方面的服侍

Eating Our Difficulties as Food
Bible Verses
Num. 14:7 And they spoke to the whole assembly of the children of Israel, saying, The land through which we passed to spy out is an exceedingly good land. (8) If Jehovah is pleased with us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us; a land which flows with milk and honey. (9) Only do not rebel against Jehovah, nor should you fear the people of the land, for they are our bread. Their protection has been removed from them, and Jehovah is with us; do not fear them.
Words of Ministry
There is another noteworthy matter in connection with Caleb. He told the Israelites that they could go up immediately, they could overcome, and they did not have to be afraid of them [their enemies], because “they will be our bread.” Bread is something to eat. Bread is something that brings increased strength, that makes one stronger after he eats it. The inhabitants of the land were admittedly “men of great size,” but in Caleb's eyes, they were food for God's people. He not only honored God's promises; he despised all the difficulties. Everyone who has genuine faith honors God and lightly esteems all difficulties. But this leaves no room for pride, for only those who humble themselves before God will be able to stand upon His victory.
Every time you meet a difficulty, every time you find yourself in an impossible situation, ask yourself this question: Am I going to starve here, or am I going to eat? If you are relying on the Lord for victory and allow His overcoming life to be manifested in you, you will find fresh nourishment and increased vitality, and you will be fed once again. Bear in mind that people who do not eat well cannot grow into maturity. Our bread is not only the word of God, our meat is not only to do His will, our bread is also the Anakim--the difficulties that are in our way. Many eat too little of the Anakim. The more we eat the Anakim, the stronger we will become. Caleb is a grand illustration of this. Because he accepted the Anakim as “bread,” he was still full of vitality at the age of eighty-five. His strength was the same at eighty-five as it was at forty. So many Anakim had been assimilated by him over the years that he had developed a constitution which showed no trace of age.
This is also true in the spiritual realm. ...there are those who have met and overcome difficulty after difficulty, temptation after temptation; they are full of vigor because they have fed well on Anakim. We have to eat our difficulties
and our temptation. Every difficulty and every temptation Satan puts in our way is food for us. This is a God-appointed means of spiritual progress. The sight of any trouble strikes terror into the heart of those who do not have faith, but those who trust Him say, “Here comes my food!” Praise and thank the Lord, all our trials, without exception, are bread for us. Every trial brings in growth after we have eaten of it. As we accept one trial after another, we are more and more richly nourished.
