Living in God's Presence

 In today's CCF Service, we were introduced to a new series, which is WORTH IT! FINISH WELL.

Pastor Peter Tan-Chiu's message today focused on the story of Joseph (Genesis 39 -50) of how he lived in God's presence despite the trials and sufferings he experienced. Joseph felt the presence of God in the bad and good times. He trusted the Lord and blessed his people.

The main message delves into how we can live in God's presence consistently in our work life, moral life, thought life, and family life/legacy. 

Pastor Peter shared some quotes: 

"Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trials and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved. " - Helen Keller

"Every trial produces hidden treasures". - Steven R. Sutt

We reflected these messages in our CCF discipleship group here in South Korea.

In life, we may face a lot of struggles and a lot of people may hurt us in the process and the journey to healing is not instant. Be patient, trust God for His plans and all your works shall be established. Let's remain in the vine, for God will always abide in us. It's important to always spend time with God, every day and in every aspect of our life. We should be consistent in living a Christ-like life when we are at work and when we are with our family and friends. We should not live a double life. Let's make it a habit to read God's word, in order to influence the way we think and what's inside our hearts, because it will reflect in our actions. 

Let's live in God's presence 24/7!
