I remember when I was a child of 6 or 7 years old. My mother used to give both my brother and I some amount of money to be put into the church collection bags.

One day, both my brother and I, thought that the amount was too much, and we had other interest to spend the money for our own interests. So instead of putting them into the bags, we put the money into our own pockets.

Later, when my mother found out about this, she was angry. And in her disappointment, she uttered these words “Such a disgrace what you both just did. Didn’t I give you money for your own? Why still taking something that’s not belong to you? Why not giving it away as I’ve told you to?”

The money however, pictures the gifts God has equipped us with. They are freely came from God. We are not picking them from elsewhere, nor buy them on our own efforts. So not to take any pride of having them either. Nevertheless, we are obliged to use them to serve Him in appropriate time, place and situation. To glorify His name. However, the choice lays in our hands. Whether we’re going to use them for God’s glory, or to use them for our own goods, or to neglect them and bury them instead.

~ All came freely from God, All goes rightly to God~

When I was in the elementary, my mom would picked me up from school using her motorcycle. Often, I got so sleepy and started to slumber. It happened several times.

One day, a passing rider made a sign and told my mom, that her child was sleeping. My mom was pretty shocked and gave me a long lecture about the danger of bla bla bla.

I felt discontented that day. Feeling that both my mom and the rider had distracted me from having a ‘pleasure of good time sleeping”. Not knowing the danger of my action yet.

Same things go with our Father in Heaven. Sometimes we feel, why our wishes not being granted, or why we can’t do this. We thought these are good. Thinking we know best. But of course. ‘Content’ is not the same as ‘Correct’.

Our Father can see far more beyond our limited sight. He knows the dangers or the final results of each situation or action. Therefore, we should be taking interests to listen to our surroundings when they started warning us.

We need to trust God’s wisdom and the He’ll provide what’s best for us, even more than what we can imagine.

Matthew 7:11
If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!
