Dear friends. 

What standard is there for us to go to heaven? Do you wish there is someone who could represent you to do all you have failed to do? 

I certainly did. In my most recent reading of Ps. 87, I also found it is true that I will failed to be good for a year, a month, a week, a day, or... I will fail every second of my life. And if you agree, Ps. 9:20 will probably not be your favourite reading. People of Israel is such a disappointment. Thats why the psalmist began by encouraging believers to tell their children and children's children, the wondrous deeds of God in opening the Red Sea. However, these people in the wilderness has forgotten how great God is and how they have been delivered out of the land of slavery. The truth is I am no big difference from them. Thats why I need Jesus to represent me. Thats why the people of Israel needs Moses as their representative. Jesus has gone to the wilderness himself and brought us the spring of life and the bread of life. He was tempted in every ways yet without sinning. My whole life needs his whole obedience. The whole life includes those moments I failed to love God by trusting him, and those moments that I have deceitfully thought I was doing just fine. 

Be blessed. My friends. See you again Monday for the rest of this psalm. 

Thank you for tuning in.
