“Ear that
hears eye that sees the Lord has made both these” (Prov.20:12) that you are
among those bestowed with sight yet you fail to appreciate God for this honor
because many are blind and they still appreciate God rather dishonor Him by
reading/gazing at pornographic/callous newspapers/novels/pictures as well as
nude/half-nude ourselves, men and women on the streets/schools/house/wall
paper/screen saver/phones/laptops even to the extent of uploading them in the
internet for public consumption which is a scandal [Mtt.18:6]and putting the
Lord God to the test as our ancestors did and they were bitten by serpents {1
Cor.10:9}. How do you appreciate God who did not allow you to be deaf like many
of our brothers and sisters in and around our world? By listening to unholy discussions, songs and
advise which ensnares the heart to sin {‘do not be led astray by all sorts of
strange doctrine’ Heb.9:13} as well as lure the weak to hatred for goodness (“just
so for one who consorts with a sinner and becomes an accomplice in his sins”
Sirach 12:14)
DILIGENCE
PAYS:
‘Do not love
sleep or you will know poverty; keep your eyes open and have your fill of food’
{Prov.20:13}
TWO SIDES OF
LIFE:
“When things
are going well, enjoy yourself and when they are going badly, consider this:
God has designed the one no less than the other so that we should take nothing
for granted” (Ecclesiastes. 7:14). Are you aware of this? Then why are you
irked/annoyed with your present situation? Do not put the Lord to the test {“and
we are not to put the Lord to the test; some of them complained and they were
killed by snakes” 1 Cor.10:9} with your doubting questions and actions just
remember these “The Lord will do the fighting for you; all you need to do is to
keep calm” (Ex.14:14) and ‘be still and acknowledge that I am God, supreme over
nations, supreme over the world’ [Ps.46:10].
