Food for Thought: Pizza

15 Jan 2006

Wow! New year! I guess I haven't really blog anything serious, considering out of the 4 postings of the new year, 3 are craps. Haha! Really want to post some things thta reflects of God's glory and goodness. But meanwhile, my mind is a bit unsettled and I need to really sort some things out. Until then, I will not be posting much, maybe I will but more 'lamb' stuff.

But on this sunday, Pastor Edwin was preaching. Hehe! I was trying my best to listen but my mind is just so unsettled. But thkfully, as he shared an analogy about Pizza and that we segment our life like how we segment the Pizza. As he continued sharing, my mind wandered away and I started analysing the Pizza theory. And I realised how truly we segment our life like a Pizza. A portion for our family, a portion for career, a portion for leisure, a portion for Ministry, a portion for God. My! my! What are we in for! We are simply just slotting God into our busy time schedule. We are really into big trouble. We only engage God when that segment of Pizza is being served. That is so wrong. We must change out mindset. God is not a segment of the Pizza. He is the Crust and Base of the Pizza. The ingredients are the things in our life. If our Crust and Base are firm and strong, it will hold the ingredients together firmly. However without the Crust and Base, if the ingredients are mixed together and thrown into the fire and though i say it may still taste as good but it will be a big mess becoz nothing is holding them together. Yes! We want to enjoy the things in our life but firstly, we have to have a strong Base and Crust and that's having a quality relationship with God. He must be the centre of our life. And when we achieve that, the things in our life will be set in place.
I guess I'm guilty at times that i treat God like a segment of the Pizza. Saturday is Youth and Worship Pract and Sunday is svc and beyond that, it's back to the world and 'reality'. I know if i carry on, it's a one way to 'doom'. Lord, help me to not stray away from you when I'm not busy with my ministry and help me to be focus on You. Lord, let me hold unto Your word, "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and the rest will be added you."
