Where is God on Your Weekdays?

"The great danger of Christian discipleship is that we should have two religions: a glorious, biblical Sunday gospel that sets us to free from the world... and, then, an everyday religion that we make do with during the week between the time of leaving the world and arriving in Heaven. We save the Sunday gospel for the big crises of existence. For the mundane trivialities... We use the everyday religion of the Reader's Digest reprint, advice from a friend, an Ann Landers column, the huckstered wisdom of a talk-show celebrity. We practice patent-medicine religion." - Eugene H. Peterson, A Long Obedience in the Same Direction

A Christian faith reality check question which all of us need to constant ask ourselves (especially on weekdays) is this:

"Where has all the knowledge we have learnt from Sunday sermons and cell meeting gone to on weekdays?"

One moment we are all on spiritual highs during the weekends in cell meetings and Sunday services. The next moment (sometimes less than 24 hours later), we are wallowing in the dreadful pits of defeat in life and seemingly God is the last thing on our minds.

We rather go in search for nice hearing advices from friends, cool inspirational motivating speakers, and occasionally flipping through teenage magazines trusting those ever-changing advices! Where is God on our Weekdays?!?! Chucked aside when things starts getting busy?

Christianity is neither a religion nor a CCA... it is neither a "feel good club" nor a "one-stop-solve-all-problems" rehabilitation centre.

Christianity is a life ordained by God. We have direct access to God when we choose to walk in His path and grow in knowing Him more. In His path, we do not need to turn to the world's religion. In God, we have the Master Helper!

I lift up my eyes to the hills—where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip—he who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD watches over you—the LORD is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD will keep you from all harm—he will watch over your life; the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore. - Psalm 121 (NIV)
