| Bible Reading 4 - Hebrews 13:5 |
FADE IN INT. JJ'S ROOM - NIGHT DISCLAIMER: This post extensively discusses Christian teachings, practices and issues. Some points may also apply to other religions. If you are not Christian, you are still welcome to read the post to gain insights or understand Christianity better. However, if you do not feel comfortable reading Christian stuff, do feel free to skip the post. I have made reasonable efforts to ensure the post does not contain inappropriate comments about other religions, but if any material is inadvertently offensive (or factually inaccurate), please inform me politely. Copied from my tweets about the exam papers: For GP Paper 1, I did the following question: "Can spending on the arts ever be justified when it has little practical use?" Tried a different approach, with some rebutting. I wonder - in fact, I hope! - the marker will "appreciate" it. From my essay (not an exact quote): "Quality artworks invite people to reflect on issues and their lifes. Hence the arts will always appeal to people because it is human nature to seek the answer to life, the universe and everything. (which is far more than 42)." For GP Paper 2, the comprehension passage was about whether scientific and economic progress truly leads to human progress. The vocabulary was unusually difficult! Wasted too much time on it and had to rush through the rest of the paper! For Economics, I wasted too much time on the case study. That I managed to finish the paper is a miracle in itself. (after exam) Me: "The essay question on circular flow of income was really unexpected!" Teacher: "Why didn't you do the other one?" Me: "It was even worse." Now for the verse and analysis! I was reading my Bible, looking for suitable verses, when I got an SMS from Mel, which included this verse. Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you. (Hebrews 13:5) We sometimes long for a friend who will always be there for us, a friend whom we can always count on. Guess what? We have such a friend, in God. Sadly, most of us are horrible friends, who often push Him aside and disregard His advice. Yet He forgives us and continues to guide and guard us. Instead of telling our God how big the storm is, could we tell the storm how big our God is? Could we learn to rely on Him, be a better friend and build a better relationship with Him? FADE OUT |
