We always complain life is so hard, so complicated, and I used to think so too, and we turn to God and ask him why?? But after studying Matthew 5, I think that if I were God, I would be baffled by my why question, not that God can be baffled. Life has been made so simple for us, but we screw it up ourselves. Then in our process of trying to untie our first knot in life, we tie another and another. Perhaps thats why coming to Melbourne to study has been a real refresher in years. Being able to start all over again. God knows how many knots I've made in Singapore. So my challenge for this week?
"Simply let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No,' 'No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one."
Matt 5:37
In a world where swearing can be used as a punctuation in sentences, I have to ask, really, why can't we just say no? Why must it be damn, or crap, or shit, or something worse?
