A Bruised Reed, He Will Not Break (Isaiah 42:1-4)
I grew up in a family where my grandma did ancestral worship, but the rest of the family were quite irreverent in matters of the divine. Money was the most important thing in my family, in place of God. But God turned this tragic family into a family with hope.
One day a relative was diagnosed by his doctor of having only 2 years to live. A family friend brought a pastor to pray for him, and he miraculously lived on for another ten years. His doctor said it was a miracle because there is no medical explanation.
As a result, my grandma in her late eighties was baptised, and my parents accepted the Lord. I begin to seek God, and at 20 years old, I accepted the Lord.

Swimming Against the Tide (1 Peter 4:1-2)
This passage reminded me of the ways of the salmon, swimming against the tide from the sea to rivers in order to spawn. They go through this hardship to ensure that their offspring will have the best chance to live.

Good Leaders Delegate Wisely
In Acts 6, we see that the growth of the church was increasing so rapidly that the needs of the Hellenists (Greek-speaking Jews) were not being met, possibly because of the language barrier. The apostles recognised the problem that while there is a need to be met, they themselves could not be the ones to meet them, as they were already responsible to devote themselves to prayer and the preaching of the word.
