DAILY REFLECTION

“For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favour and honour; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless.”Psalm 84:11

Yesterday, I had the privilege of being invited by dear Christian friends from Singapore to dedicate their new office and central kitchen at Hicom Glenmarie Industrial Park. The occasion concluded with a wonderful dinner graciously hosted by Andy and Christine.

Andy and Christine are the visionary founders of AC Hesed Group in Malaysia, the exclusive distributors of well-known brands such as Ben’s Cookies, 108 Matcha Saro, and Cinnabon. Established in November 2023, following the challenges of the pandemic, their business has experienced remarkable growth, expanding to 20 outlets in just over a year.

Their journey is an encouraging testimony of faith, perseverance, and God’s providence. Their aspiration is to be “the head and not the tail” (Deuteronomy 28:13), faithfully stewarding the opportunities and responsibilities God entrusts to them in the marketplace.

During the dedication, Rev Dr Judah Daniel Choo led us in a meaningful time of prophetic prayer dedications, committing the business and its future into God’s hands. It was a powerful reminder that while human wisdom, careful planning, and diligent effort are essential, our ultimate confidence must rest in the Lord.

Psalm 84:11 beautifully describes God as both our sun and shield. As our sun, He provides light, direction, and strength for the journey ahead. As our shield, He protects and sustains us through life’s uncertainties and challenges.

In the pursuit of business growth, we can easily become preoccupied with expansion plans, financial projections, marketing strategies, and operational demands. Yet Scripture reminds us that lasting success is not measured merely by profits or the number of outlets, but by our faithfulness to God and the purpose for which He has entrusted us with resources.

God’s favour is not a guarantee of uninterrupted prosperity or freedom from difficulties. Rather, it is the assurance of His gracious presence, wisdom, and sustaining strength as we walk faithfully with Him.

The promise that God withholds no good thing from those who walk uprightly does not mean that He grants every desire. It reminds us that our loving Father knows what is truly good for us and provides according to His perfect wisdom and timing.

True success is not simply how far we go in business, but how faithfully we walk with God along the way.

Prayer:  
Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your faithfulness in the lives of Andy and Christine and for the opportunities You have entrusted to them. Grant them wisdom in every decision, humility in success, courage in challenges, and integrity in all their dealings. May Your favour guide their steps and Your protection surround their business. Let their growth bring blessings to many and become a testimony of Your goodness and grace. May everything they accomplish bring glory to Your name. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

每日反思

“因为耶和华神是日头，是盾牌，要赐下恩惠和荣耀。他未尝留下一样好处不给那些行动正直的人。”.  
诗篇 84:11

昨天，我很荣幸受邀参加来自新加坡的基督徒好友在 Hicom Glenmarie 工业园举行的新办公室及中央厨房奉献礼。聚会结束后，Andy 和 Christine 夫妇更盛情款待我们，享用了一顿温馨丰盛的晚餐。

Andy 和 Christine 是马来西亚 AC Hesed 集团富有远见的创办人，独家代理多个知名品牌，包括 Ben’s Cookies、108 Matcha Saro 和 Cinnabon。集团于2023年11月成立，在经历疫情带来的种种挑战后，他们的事业迅速发展，短短一年多便扩展至20家分店，成绩令人鼓舞。

他们的创业历程，是信心、坚持与神眷顾的美好见证。他们怀着一个清晰的异象，就是成为“居上不居下”的人（申命记28:13），忠心管理神在商界中所托付的机会、资源与责任。

在奉献礼中，Rev Dr Judah Daniel Choo 带领我们进行了一段深具意义的先知性祝福与奉献祷告，将企业及未来的发展全然交托在神的手中。这是一个充满信心与盼望的时刻，也再次提醒我们：人的智慧、周详的计划和殷勤的努力固然重要，但我们最终的信靠与倚赖，必须建立在神的身上。

诗篇84:11以两个美丽的比喻形容神——祂是我们的日头，也是我们的盾牌。祂是日头，照亮我们前面的道路，赐下方向、力量与盼望；祂也是盾牌，在人生充满不确定与挑战的时候，保护、扶持并坚固我们。

在追求事业发展的过程中，我们很容易把注意力集中在扩展计划、财务预算、市场策略和日常营运上。然而，圣经提醒我们：真正持久的成功，不单在于赚取多少利润、开设多少分店，而在于我们是否忠心于神，以及是否善用祂所托付的资源，成就祂的旨意。

神的恩宠并不意味着事业永远一帆风顺，也不保证我们不会经历困难。相反，神的恩宠使我们确信，无论顺境或逆境，祂都以恩典与我们同在，赐下智慧，并以祂的力量扶持我们，使我们能够继续忠心地与祂同行。

圣经应许，神未尝留下一样好处不给那些行动正直的人。这并不表示神会满足我们所有的愿望，而是提醒我们，慈爱的天父知道什么对我们真正有益，并按照祂完美的智慧和时间，为我们预备和供应。

真正的成功，不在于我们的事业走得多远，而在于我们在人生与事业的每一步中，是否忠心地与神同行。

祷告:    
亲爱的天父，感谢祢一直以来对 Andy 和 Christine 的信实带领，也感谢祢赐给他们发展的机会。求祢赐他们智慧作每一个决定，在成功中保持谦卑，在挑战中充满勇气，在经营中坚守诚信。愿祢的恩宠引导他们的脚步，祢的保护常与他们的企业同在。愿他们的事业成为多人的祝福，见证祢的良善与恩典，使一切荣耀都归于祢。奉主耶稣基督的圣名祷告，阿们！
