In Ephesians 5:20 it said "always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ." and in Ephesians 4:11 Paul teaches us to be in content whatever the circumstances. But in reality, we are just a group of ungrateful brats!
We are not grateful for the fresh water supply, but we complaint about the water pressure. We are not grateful for a room to study, but we complaint the air conditional is not cold enough.
We are not grateful for water to drink, but we complaint there is no cold drinks. We are not grateful for a person to be around to help, but we complaint that the person is not there every moment we need them. We are not grateful for a smooth pathway to walk on, but we complaint there is no shelter as we walk on.
We are not grateful for something to eat, but we complaint the food is not delicious. We are not grateful for someone to be around to mend and fix things, but we complaint the person is not working fast enough. We are not grateful for resources that we can have, but we complaint the other party have not done enough. Have we forgotten, we are here to carry the cross? Or have we check in to a luxury hotel thus demands on the 3-5 stars luxuries and services? Do they owe us anything? Are we here to serve or being serve?
Do think of this....... are we the ungrateful brats?
I was babysitting my niece and nephew for a few days a month ago.
My niece said something which make me laugh and laugh when she question my ability to cook. Because all these while she only saw her mom cooking, but what she do not know is who is the master or teacher behind her mom and who is the one who cook for her mom since childhood days!
When I think of these, I just felt that in many times we do appreciate what good things that people did to us - the help and caring given by the people around us but at the same time we neglected the master behind it - Our Lord.
When you start to question if God is around to help you..... do think of the master behind every scene. Our God Almighty is always there with and for us.
根据香港大学法律学院副教授-戴耀廷, “政教分离”就是指政府不会承认某宗教国教的地位,宗教在政府施政时也不会享有优惠。就此而言,笔者认为,当马来西亚联邦宪法规定马来人则是伊斯兰教徒并且享有特别优惠时,已定下马来西亚的政教是不能分离的。虽然如此,但神既然把我们放在这个体系里面是否有神自己的计划?并且,基督徒是否可以利用这个体系或环境,用人视为不好的处境更有效的把福音传出去?这是每个基督徒公民值得思考的。就如John Courtney Murray 所言“政教分离的用意不是使宗教脱离世俗。”
