Just Be happy…

Just Be happy…

August 12, 2010

Become a disciple of Christ doesn’t mean that everything is okay. There are still many problems come. So, how I can be happy if there are still many problems come.

Two days ago, my beef was stolen, yesterday some one complained that the laundry was not clean yet, they are angry and wanted me to return their money, a week ago I can’t pay my credit card, I only can pay part of it, in this two days I must pay the catering fee, I don’t have enough money now and I hope that we can get the money from the laundry in this two days. Last month my father was sick and being stay in a hospital for 5 days and I am very worried about his health.

If I want to count the problems, I will be stressed and can not be happy anymore. But, I learn something. I can still happy even there are problems. I can still happy in God because god is stable. God doesn’t the same as my business, some time up and some time down. When I hang my happiness in my money, I will be happy when I get money and I will be unhappy when I pay something. And if I think about it, I will be unhappy rather than be happy because the condition recently is I lose more money than I get.

In the bible, the Israelites and Judah also got problems in their nations but they hung their happiness in the conditions. They didn’t hang their happiness in their God. The result, they become unstable and not believe in God anymore. They become sinners. They did what ever they want to do no more rules in their life.

Though I have bound and strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine mischief against me? They return, but not to the most High: they are like a deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt. Hosea 7:15-16 (KJV)
