Romancing the Book


Imagine when this vintage Cambridge Bible was made in the '70s...I was still in my Primary School located 6,500 miles away...and yet one day in the distant future, by the providence of God, we are together.


And the journey it took for this Bible to get from the bindery in England...crossing the Atlantic Ocean...crossing the great land of the US of A...sitting idly & patiently waiting to be bought on a shelf...


...and 30 plus years later, as predestined, it would once more take another great journey... crossing the great expanse of the Pacific Ocean...to the island of Borneo...

An epic journey 30 plus years in the making :)


Who would have thought? Only by His grace. Praise the LORD for His provision.

So despite the age, it shall be used just as it was designed to be... And to echo the sermon I heard this morning, my heart was jumping with joy with the message - Living for Christ. We, a creation of God Almighty, are meant to glorify Him in all that we do. No matter how old you are, no matter how small you are, no matter who you are, where you have been & what you have done - when our Lord Jesus calls you... REJOICE!

The greatest blessing & privilege in this life is to know Jesus & to be used by Him.
