2010/03/03 Day 13 of Lent 大齋期第13日

Pray that God will help us to have hope on the renewal of all creation 求神幫助我們對世界萬物存有更新的盼望

Day 13 of Lent   3 March 2010 (Wednesday)

Hymn Meditation> 'This Is My Father’s World'
This is my Father's world, O let me ne'er forget that thought the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the ruler yet.
This is my Father's world: The battle is not done; Jesus who died shall be satisfied, and earth and heaven be one.
What encouragement and reminder can you find in the lyrics while facing different environmental problems and disasters caused by climate change?

Carbon Fast
> Pray
Pray that God will help us to have hope on the renewal of all creation, for God was pleased to reconcile Himself to all things by making peace through Jesus’ blood shed on the cross. (Colossians 1:20)
> ‘Live out Simplicity’ (eating)
Let’s choose simple meals today without any snacks, such as sweets and chips; and drink pure water instead of drinks from bottles, cans or boxes.

大齋期第13日 2010年3月3日(星期三)

默想詩歌>《這是天父世界》
這是天父世界,叫我不可遺忘,
黑暗勢力雖然猖狂,天父卻仍作王。
這是天父世界,我心不必憂傷,
天父是王,宇宙同唱,祂治萬國萬方。
面對氣候變化引致不同的環境問題與災難,這段歌詞給予你甚麼激勵和提醒?
