Hellos! (: My first post, shall post a revelation I received! Go on and read it, it will only take 5 minutes. Remember the cell group message that Dorcas shared last week? Well, we are going to revisit one of the verse. 1 Corithians 10:12 - "So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall!" As I read the verse, it dawned upon me that Paul is also emphasizing on a point: We need to take charge of our faith. Does our faith runs on an "auto-pilot" mode? When an airplane is flying on its due course with clear skies and minimal turbulence, the pilot can probably shift his flight into the "auto-pilot" mode as the plane flies on its chartered course. However, when turbulences begin to bring instability to the airplane, no pilot on earth would allow the plane to fly on "auto-pilot" mode as he sips on Lipton tea! Any sane person would definitely resume control of the airplane immediately. Our Christian life can be likened to the journey of an airplane too. We are making journeys all throughout our lives, growing from faith to faith, glory to glory. However, it would be silly to think that we can fly through storms on an "auto-pilot" faith. That is why Apostle Paul tells us to be careful if we think that things are going well and smooth, and nothing will go wrong. We got to constantly take charge of our faith, and fix our gaze upon Jesus and not the storms of life. Taking charge means to control, monitor, ensure it is working well, and always enhancing it to make it function more efficiently and effectively. Our faith can then grow stronger and larger through every journey we embark on. When the waters were still, Jesus walked on it. When the storms raged, Jesus calmed it. Take charge of our faith daily, and walk on the solid truths of the Bible, breakthroughs are always just ahead! - Peace Brendan 29th Aug, 2009 |
