No Time For God.


After finishing the steak, Arthur smacked his lips and reached for his glass of red wine. Then he loosened his belt, patted his round belly and said, "Ah! This is the life. Eat, drink and be merry. Lift is too short. I have no time for God."

"I have no time for God" as most of us are busy in working place, shopping in complex, watching movies, playing latest X-box games, surfing Internet for latest tech and news, SMS, and so forth.
For some, their relationship with God is like the stock market. When the market is booming, they swing and dance all night, leaving the bible to gather dust. But when the chips are down, they run to God, crying "O Lord, please bail me out."

This is an example which is happening to me now as I am no longer working in factory and still waiting for another job offering, I have been spending most of my time reading Bible in order to come closer to Him again. To know God in the shortest and fastest time is to read the Bible.

With time the wind changes its direction. It may be a gentle breeze or a sudden storm which shake us to the very deepest core of belief, "Fear of death".

To everything there is a season;
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time of war, and a time of peace.
- Taken from Book of Ecclesiastes -

However the writer (King Solomon) did not include "A Time For God." although he ends it by saying "Fear God and keep His commandments."
