Faithful to the End

On Saturday afternoon we attended a talk entitled 'Faithful to the End' (Book of Daniel) by Rev Dr Gordon Wong.

The first 6 chapters are about Daniel who was blessed for his faithfulness to God. He had deliverance and success on earth. Chapter 7-12 talks about suffering and persecution on earth but being honoured after death.

The message of Daniel for life in a troubled world is to be faithful to the end. Do not miss the woods for the trees. Sometimes the idea of prophecy may be thought of as prediction for the future, when prophecy could just mean Word from God. We should be prepared to face the harsh reality of life on earth, which may be ruled by different types of beasts. These beasts are issues, problems and sufferings. But take courage, as God is in control.

Although I was in a half sleepy state after a long Friday night performance and an early morning rise for the 'Beauty' Workshop, Gordon W's very captivating and interesting session helped me to bring home some important lessons. The lessons are to be faithful to the end as God is in control, and to give glory to God in all that you do.
