In my journey to discover the Bible, I came across Psalms 73. It was yesterday, when God answered again (clearer) one of my challenged questions.
"Why the wicked is wealthy?"
Even though it is no longer a big question for me since I'm already born again.
However, this time it is more understandable and verse 17 explained it clearly.
"till I entered the sanctuary of God, then understood their final destiny"
I will not dwell on the HOW? Instead, I'll speak of the Key. "The Sanctuary of God".
This calls for wisdom.
They said that there's no perfect church, and church will not bring us to heaven.
Whether this saying is true or not, the important is what we learn from the church and how we live it.
Do we still remember when we were kids, our elders (parents, grandparents, uncles, aunties, big brother & sister, etc. ) bring us to church?
Despite our tantrums, excuses, etc., they bring us to church. We might not know the reason then but now at least we know it is for our own good.
There is a hidden purpose why we go to church, as well as we bring our love ones to church. Church is not only a community (religion), place of worship and refuge, family gathering, but most importantly we go to church because we are sinners who believed in God and needs to have salvation.
Going to church help us sustain our faith and in the process, we gain wisdom.
Wisdom tells us that we need to do the right thing and despise what is not. It enlightens us to understand and accept the reasons behind the question why. It inspire other people. Through this inspiration, we duplicate ourselves.
Our church plays a very important role in our lives. It contributes to the foundation of our spirituality, morality and reasoning.
So next time you ask why? Ask yourself, did my church helped to answer my questions? :)
To God be the glory..
Read your Bible and pray everyday and you'll grow, grow, grow ...
