Deborah - a glimpse of her Special Service for the Lord

Looking at my last post, I guess my mind must have died for a month! Oh no, I certainly hope not. There are lots of fleeting thoughts, hardly any meditative ones. They are not worth writing about......oh Ah Q....

Today, Ptr Coleborn's message on Special Service triggle my neuron activities again. I thought I better share them quickly less I consider them worthless for publishing once again.

Deborah, (Deborah I - as Ptr Coleborn called here to distinguish from the Prophetess Deborah) Rebekah's nurse (Gen 35:8) was an oft-unnotice member in the Kingdom of God is one whom God appointed for a Special Service. The Holy Spirit especially singled her out in the Holy writ for our encouragement and instruction.

Her life, presumely in singlehood, was given to care for Rebekah and 2-3 generations of her children till her death. Her service was hard and often lonely, seemed lowly and mandane. But that was a Special Service for that promoted the Kingdom of Christ - Christ came through the line of Jocob's offsprings! Her care for her charges was so tender and nurturing that earned her their respect and high regards as they weeped sorrowfully at her burial.

Deborah reminded me of so many brothers and sisters in our Church who has given their life to care and nurture her flocks. To them, I wish to say Thank You for being on Special Service!
