In
this new age, man has become so busy everyday. Wake up in the morning,
sip some coffee, read the newspaper and go to work then after work go
to eat in the fast food and go to bed. Man has become so busy to the
point that he doesn't have time to prepare his meal anymore. There's one
thing he cries out whenever he feels hungry: "Instant food!" He buys
instant coffee, instant noodle, instant spaghetti, and so many other
instant snack or meal in the food store. Furthermore he has overlook so
many things big and small that piece a bigger and a much more important
picture in his life which includes quality time with his family,
recreation activities, taking a walk in the park or other places to see
the world around him and most especially the time to talk with the One
who must be given the greatest credit.
In
this world full of instant stuffs, we must also fill our lives with
instant food for our heart, mind and soul. Our God should be the center
of everything we do. We must not forget that without him, we would not
be able to keep ourselves busy with whatever we do right now. Don't let
your job be the center of your life. Rather, let HE be the center
of all things.
Colossians
1:16 says,
For by him all things were
created; things in heaven and on the earth, visible and invisible,
whether thrones or powers, or rulers or authorities, all things were
created by him and for him.
I know that we love our jobs because it's
where we get the money to sustain our family but we must love him first
before anything else because he did love us first. (1 John 4:19)
