Psalm 33:12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom he has chosen for their inheritance!
Lin Lezhi's work resonates with the hymns, directly addressing the essence of civilization and life. In this age that reveres technology and efficiency, we often mistake political and economic development, academic and technical expertise, for panaceas, neglecting the fact that without the true faith as its foundation, prosperity ultimately amounts to nothing. The prosperity of a nation, the stability of a family, and even the transformation of an individual's life do not depend on external material accumulation, but on whether the heart reveres the true God and submits to the righteousness of Heaven's will. Only by returning to the foundation of faith, being chosen and molded by God, can life enjoy true happiness and eternal peace.
Loving Heavenly Father, Lord Jehovah! We praise You, for You are the source of all wisdom and civilization. Forgive us for often putting the cart before the horse, relying on earthly weapons and skills while neglecting Your true way. Come today to rectify our praying hearts, so that the great love of Christ may be deeply engraved in the hearts of our fellow Chinese and all peoples of the world. May our nation be exalted in reverence for You, and may our lives be Your holy inheritance. Raise up the ministry of words and the Gospel, so that the light of life may illuminate all darkness. Amen!
