Everyday Faith

The topic of the sermon yesterday at church was "Faith in Everyday Life" taken from II Kings. There were a few points I've learned that I should be applying in my everyday walk with God that i wanted to share...

God works in our everyday life
Even in our smallest problems, He is always there. Even in the simplest things in our life, God is in control and we should be thankful that are able to get through each day.

As Christians, we should be talking to God on a daily basis -- not only when problems arise. God allows us to have trials in our lives not because He wants us to suffer but He wanted us to grow.

Never think that God never listens to the little problems that we have. God is never too busy for us. Like a father to his children, God will never leave us in the midst of our problems be it great or small.


God Takes care of your daily needs
Like what the Bible has mentioned in Matthew 6:25-34 "God takes care of the lilies and the birds, so He will take care of his children."

Pastor Stephen mentioned that we live in a buffet generation. We wanted to get our money's worth so, we tend to not eat breakfast nor lunch so we could eat a lot when the buffet meal comes. It's true that even though our stomach ached because of the amount of food that we ate, we are satisfied in a way because we got the value of the money we paid for.

A plate of food is actually enough for us but we always wanted more... As our Father, God will always provide for our needs -- never too much never too little. Oftentimes, most of us are not contented and want more, just like a buffet meal. I myself is not exempted of that but we should learn to be contented and be thankful for the things that God has provided for us.

As Christians we should be living a Christ-like life even though it is difficult in this generation AND we should be ambassadors of Christ to our community of unbelievers.
