In a blink of an eye, Shaddai will turn 20 in February 2020. What started as a small bible study group of Shalom Baptist Church in the eastern part of SIngapore grew and was then inaugurated as an independent church in 2000.
Just like any church, there were the ups and downs in our short history. Among the many victorious and joyful occasions, there were also several trying situations that shook our confidence.
However when we spend time to reflect on all events of the past 20 years and through the rear mirror of faith, we are able to see and recognize His Hand working in and through our lives. In every situation, He has always been our Rock and Refuge, our Comforter and Counselor.
We can then praise Him and be grateful to the Lord for His spiritual blessings in spite of our sinfulness.
We give Him the thanks and accord Him the glory for what He had done for Shaddai. Without Him, Shaddai can accomplish nothing.
Looking back, we are truly humbled that our Almighty God showers His unceasing love and care for Shaddai. He continuously draw us to Him to mould us into His likeness by the life-changing Word and transforming power of the Holy Spirit.
Even then, we have to humbly admit that we are still “work-in-progress” due to our sinful nature.
May the Lord use Shaddai as His channels of blessing in the years ahead.
