Simplicity

Last night we had a simple gathering, just the 3 of us having a simple meal. Before meal, I had the urge to share from the devotional book that I commonly use at Kitchen's Fellowship. If there would be friends coming, we will start our meal after a simple prayer but if there would be brothers and sisters in Christ, we would start with a simple devotion. However, last night was special. The urge to share was there. Maybe it's time for the harvest. Only God in all His wisdom and knowledge knows.

Many at times, we would have to see signs and wonders to believe in God. One would say, "If a rush of emotion suddenly swept through me for no reason whatsoever, I would believe or that would strengthen my faith" but what if God never does that during your time on earth. Another would say, "If only I had a dream about the Messiah, then I would believe" but what if God never will fulfill your desire. Who are we to dictate what God should and should not do. Isn't the gospel a proof enough for us to believe in Him? Isn't His promise, "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life" an assurance to our faith. Faith is believing in something that we cannot see. If we are able to see what we hoped for, will there be any hope at all? Therefore, may the Lord opens our eyes to see the truth of the gospel, His Word, the Bible as the source of strength to our faith.
