Two more abandoned Filipina mothers and their babies are due to
stay at a MercyHK shelter from tonight. The number of such cases coming to our
notice is growing and is very disturbing. On a happier note, several of our
domestic helper guests have returned to the Philippines or found new employers
in the past week. Our overnight total remains around the 20 mark.

Job
18-19: Bildad then said that Job's suffering was
caused by his sins. Job repeated that he was innocent of any
wrong-doing.
He added:
"I am sure of three things:
my God lives,
my God will rescue me,
and I will see my God's face."
Dear God, I believe you live
and that someday I will see your face
My
recording of this reading
Psalms
120-121: I call to the Lord in the hour of my
distress:
"Lord save me from people who speak with lying lips". Long enough have I been dwelling with those
who hate peace.
I am for peace, but they are for fighting. I lift up my eyes to the mountains.
From where shall come my help? My help shall come from the Lord
who made heaven and earth. The Lord is our guard and our shade.
Day and night we shall not be afraid. The Lord will guard our going and coming
both now and forever.
Lord, please protect us from
danger, day and night
Listen
James
5.13-18: If one of you is in trouble, pray. If you are
happy, sing a psalm. If someone is sick, send for the elders of the
church. They must anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord, and pray
over him.
The prayer of faith will save the sick man and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed any sins, he will be forgiven.
Confess your sins to one another, and pray for
one another,
and this will heal you. The heartfelt prayer of a good person is very
powerful. Elijah prayed for rain, and rain came
Jesus, please help sick people have the
opportunity
to receive the "Anointing of the Sick"
Listen
Mark
7.24-30:
Jesus went to the district of Tyre.
A foreign woman fell at his feet and begged him to expel a devil from her
daughter. Jesus said "The children (= Jews)
should be fed first. It's not right to give the children's food to the
house dogs (= foreigners)". She replied "Ah yes, Sir, but the house
dogs under the table can eat the children's scraps". Jesus said to her "For expressing such
great faith, you can go home happy. The devil has gone out of your
daughter". She went home
and found the child lying on a bed, and the devil gone
Jesus, please give sick people
more faith in you

Before going to the Dr Jesus Centre around 7.30 last Sunday
morning, I went to a nearby rubbish bin to deposit some overnight items ....and
passed A-Ming sitting outside 7-11, as in Dec 14 photo here.
So I bought him a cup of coffee and something to eat at 7-11. Then on Sunday
night, when I left the Dr Jesus Centre around 9.30 and went to same rubbish bin
for an evening deposit, I saw another street man .... and got him something at
7-11. My Sunday was 7-11 book-ended!

Job
15-17: Eliphaz then said that Job's own words
condemned him
since he was in fact challenging God. Job replied that he was sick and tired of
listening to his friends' speeches. He also said he felt death was
not far away: "My breath grows weak, I am ridiculed by
everyone, every fiber of my heart is broken. I have no
hope."
Lord, help of the helpless,
please help people who feel their situation is hopeless
My
recording of this reading
Psalm 119:
They are happy who follow God's word,
those who seek God with all their hearts. How can young people avoid evil?
By seeking you and obeying you, Lord. Open my eyes, Lord, that I may understand the beauty of your word.
Lord, when I'm worried or in trouble,
your word revives me and gives me strength. Lord, keep my eyes from what is false.
Bend my heart to your word and not to love of gain. The word from your mouth means more to me
than silver and gold. The unfolding of your word gives light
and teaches simple people.
Lord, thank you for your word
which gives peace to our hearts

James
5.1-6: Are you rich and powerful? Then start weeping
for the miseries that are coming your way. Your wealth is rotting, your clothes are being
eaten by moths.
And your body also will soon be corroding in a burning fire. You cheated your workers.
You lived a life of luxury without any care for people who were suffering.
You condemned and killed the innocent
Jesus, give uncaring rich and powerful people a
change of heart

Mark
6.1-6: Jesus and his disciples went to his home town
of Nazareth.
On the Sabbath he went to the prayer hall and began teaching. People in the prayer hall were astonished at
his teaching.
"Who does he think he is?" they asked. "He is just a
carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, Joset, Jude and Simon.
His sisters also are here." And they would not accept
him. So Jesus said to them "A prophet is
despised only in his own country". Because of their lack of faith, Jesus cured
only a few sick people there. He was amazed at the lack of faith in
Nazareth.
Jesus, please help me be happy
about your gifts to others

Reflection on the above readings: Almost every time Jesus cured people, faith was a factor. Jesus, please increase our faith!

c.f. Readings for Pentecost
Acts
2.1-4: About ten days after
Jesus' ascension to heaven, was the Feast of Pentecost. Jesus'
12 apostles, his mother, several other women, and his brothers were together in
one room. Suddenly
they heard what sounded like a powerful wind. Tongues of fire appeared and came
to rest on the head of each of them. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit,
and began to speak foreign languages
Come Holy Spirit, fall afresh on me. Fall afresh on our world
My
recording of this reading
Psalm 104: Bless
the Lord, my soul! Lord God, how great you are. You
make the clouds your chariot. You walk on the wings of the wind. You make
springs gush forth in the valleys. They give drink to all the animals of the
field. You make grass grow for the cattle, and plants to provide food for
people. You give us wine to cheer our hearts, and oil to make our faces
shine. You made the moon to mark the months. The sun knows the time for its
setting. How many are your works, O Lord. In wisdom you have made them all. The
earth is full of your riches and the sea is swarming with life. All things,
great and small, look to you for food. You open your hand, they have their fill. You
send forth your spirit, and life is created. You renew the face of the earth. I
will sing to the Lord all my life. May my thoughts be pleasing to him.
Lord, send forth your Holy Spirit and renew the face of the earth

Corinthians 12.4-10: The
Holy Spirit gives us many different gifts: Some people have the gift of
wise preaching. Some people have the gift of an extra strong faith. Some people
have the gift of healing sick people. Some people have other gifts like the
power of miracles, prophecy, recognizing spirits, and the ability to speak in
tongues.
Holy Spirit, please increase your influence
in my life. Please give me the gift of (..name...)

John
15-16: Jesus
said to his disciples: "When the
Advocate comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth
who issues from the Father, he will be my witness. When
the Spirit of truth comes, he
will lead you to the complete truth. He
will glorify me, since all he tells you will be taken from what is mine. Everything
the Father has is mine; that is why I said: All
he tells you will
be taken from what is mine"
O Holy Spirit, Spirit of Truth, fall afresh on our world!

Reflection on the above readings:
The
Day of Pentecost (good!)
Hudson Taylor: "Since the days of Pentecost, has the whole church ever put aside every other work and waited upon Him for ten days, that the Spirit's power might be manifested? We give too much attention to method and machinery and resources, and too little to the source of power."

A
devout old shepherd lost his favourite Bible while he was out looking for a lost
lamb. Three weeks later, a sheep walked up to him carrying the Bible in its
mouth. The shepherd couldn’t believe his eyes. He took the precious book out
of the sheep’s mouth, raised his eyes heavenward and exclaimed, “It’s a
miracle!”
“Not really,” said the sheep. “Your name is written inside the cover.”

Joel 1-4: My country
has been invaded. Joy has disappeared from the land. Priests, put on sackcloth,
and lament. Proclaim a fast to pray for our nation. Turn to the Lord your God
again, for he is all tenderness and compassion. Call out to the Lord for help.
"Spare your people, Lord!" The Lord replies: "I will save and
rescue you. I
will pour out my spirit on all peoples. Everyone will prophesy and see visions. You
will learn that I am the Lord your God. Jerusalem will be a holy place."
Lord, pour out your Holy Spirit on all nations

Romans
8.14-21: Everyone
moved by the Spirit is a child of God. The Spirit lets us use children's
language to speak to God tenderly as "Abba, Father". Since
we are God's children, we are also his heirs, coheirs with Jesus, sharing his
suffering so as to share his glory. What we suffer in this life can never be
compared with the glorious life we will have in heaven. The whole of creation
looks forward to sharing the same glory, to sharing immortality.

7.37-39: During the
Feast of Tabernacles in Jerusalem, Jesus called out loudly in the Temple
"If anyone is thirsty, come to me. Anyone who believes in me, come and
drink!" As Scripture says "From his heart will flow fountains of
living water". Jesus
was speaking of the Holy Spirit, which people who believed in him were to
receive. The Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus had not yet been
glorified.

Job 11-14: Zophar then said that Job must still have some
secret sins of which he had not repented. Job sarcastically replied:
"No doubt you are the voice of the people
and when you die, wisdom will die with you. I am only too aware that God knows everything.
How could I hide anything from him? God, why do you hide your face?
Why do you look on me as an enemy?"

Psalm
118: Give thanks to the Lord for he is good.
His love has no end. Let the sons of Israel say:
"His love has no end." Let those who honor the Lord say:
"His love has no end." It is better to take refuge in the Lord than
to trust in humans.
It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes. I was falling, falling, falling,
but the Lord was my helper. The Lord is my strength and my song.
He is my saviour. The Lord's right hand has triumphed.
His right hand has raised me up. I shall not die, I shall live
and recount all his deeds. The stone which the builders rejected
has become the corner stone. This is the work of the Lord,
a marvel in our eyes. This day was made by the Lord.
We rejoice and are glad.
Lord, we give thanks to you,
for you are good.
Your love has no end

Lord's will, tomorrow I'm going to another town for a year"

willing, I will see you next month" or "Please God, I will see
you next month", rather than just "I'll see you next month"

He and no other stretched out the skies.
The Bear, Orion, the Pleiades and the Mansions of the South - all were
made by him. "Challenging God is unthinkable.
Yet I know I am innocent and I'm being punished unjustly. I also know that God knows I'm innocent.

I walked to a nearby post box yesterday with a letter for a prisoner, a local
street lady stopped me to give me a rent bill for our social worker. The lady
helped our social worker some time ago to find several rooms for homeless
people. The lady was very scantily dressed. Make that very, very. As I took the
bill and said goodbye (our encounter lasted for maybe 15 seconds) I was
immediately stopped by another lady, an Indonesian Muslim lady whose long black
clothing covered every part of her body except her eyes. She just wanted to say
hello since MercyHK is helping pay school fees for her children. The two ladies
were standing almost next to each other. One lady was wearing too little, the
other lady was wearing too much, I was wearing ... a smile
