有一位記憶日漸衰退、不時思緒混亂的長者，她的兒子每天會把幾節聖經的話語、她所熟識的短詩、以及家人的消息，加上可愛的圖像，印在紙上，而這位長者每天都會開聲讀出每一字句。當她誦讀的時候，會用顏色筆畫線，一旦讀到觸動她的經文之時，她會說：「好寶貴！」「阿們！」並且會重覆又重覆的再讀那段經文，而混亂的思緒也彷彿被喚醒過來似的，叫她可以沉浸在天父的愛裡，也享受著家人陪伴的愛。
聖經的說話，真真實實能甦醒人心，也就是那被聖靈照管的心。每一位屬神的人都有這份寶貴的恩典，即或老去，思緒混亂，聖靈仍會在我們心裡保守引導、呼喚。當我們願意回應，讓聖靈引導，祂就必帶領我們進入與主親近的關係中，叫我們藉著聆聽主的話，更深體會祂的心意，與祂更親密。
常常聆聽神的話，讓我們的心儲備恩言，不時默念思想，那麼即是在危難之中，這些聖言也能成為我們的幫助，使我們能回應聖靈的呼喚，記起神的應許，因而經歷神臨在，那是何等寶貴！
「你要保守你心，勝過保守一切，因為生命的泉源由心發出。」（箴言四23，和修版）
「聖言在心、真摯同行」，是教會鼓勵弟兄姊妹明年一起追求的方向。透過教會提供的讀經表，或團組自定的讀經計劃，把神的恩言滿滿的讀入心中，從而讓聖靈更新內心，真摯的與神、與人同行，這是何等的有福。
Pastor's Sharing
Awakening of the Soul
Rev MY Ng
There is an elderly sister whose memory is gradually declining and her thoughts are often confused. Every day, her son would print a few Bible verses, a short hymn familiar to her, family updates, and some delightful images on a piece of paper for her. Day in and day out, she would read out each and every word on the page. As she reads, she would use color markers to underline some words. Where a verse touches her heart, she would exclaim, "How precious!" or "Amen!" She would read that verse again and again. Her shattered thoughts would seem to be awakened and come together so that she would be immersed in the love of the Heavenly Father, and her family’s love in accompanying her.
The words of the Bible can truly awaken the soul, the heart that is under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Every child of God has this precious grace. Even in old age or when confused, the Holy Spirit would still continue to keep, to guide, and to call upon us. When we are willing to respond and allow the Spirit to lead us, He will draw us into a close relationship with the Lord. Through listening to His word, we will have a deeper understanding of His will and be closer to Him.
If we always listen to the word of God, store it up in our hearts and meditate on it, the holy word will be a great help to us even in times of danger and difficulties. It will help us respond to the Spirit's call, recall God's promises, and so experience His presence. How precious that is!
"Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it." (Proverbs 4:23)
"Cherish God's Word in Our Hearts, Journey Together in Genuine Fellowship" is the direction the church encourages brothers and sisters to pursue in the coming year. By using the Bible study plans provided by the church or creating group-based plans, we can fill our hearts full of God's gracious word. The Holy Spirit will renew our hearts, allowing us to sincerely walk with God and others. How blessed that would be.
