Great Blessing for this New Year from God

Two weeks from now, the Chinese community including me will be celebrating Chinese New Year. We can see that people start to decorate their house with new year accessories, which believe will bring luck and joy for them throughout the year. Besides decorating their homes, people were also busy with those magazine that explain about their zodiac throughout the year. In summary, they are more concern toward their luck for this coming year.

We often equate good fortune, happiness and luck as things that are subject to fate. There are greater forces beyond us that determine whether we would have a good year or a bad year. The type and number of crystals that we should display in our house or wear around our wrists; the colour of our hair; the animal zodiac and its influence throughout the year; the number of gold fish that I should rear in my aquarium. We often equate good fortune, happiness and luck as things that are subject to fate.

For this coming new year, I’m not going to tell you what’s your fortune for this year, whether you would be experiencing lots of good luck or bad. No. I have a much better prediction for year. It’s going to be great year, a year full of blessings, a year of true joy. Why? Because God has promised to be with you. If God is with you at all times, you don’t need good luck or good fengshui or good omens. God will be you sustaining you, giving you strength to bear with all the burdens of life. God will be with you to help you through the darkest moments. God will be with you guiding you when you feel lost. God will be with you comforting you in your loneliness and pain. God will be with you healing you, forgiving you and blessing you with his grace. 

What do you think?

Superstitious is a killer! A Hong Kong drama that is showing on T.V reminds me that. The story illustrate this topic by showing that during the olden days, especially in the Chinese society, peoples will do sort of funny things, in order to get lucks in their life. The believe something called 'Good Luck' and 'Bad Luck'. Of course, good luck period, people will believe that everything comes to them is good. What about someone who are experiencing their downfalls, in the Chinese society, people would say you're experiencing some bad luck! In that particular drama, because the mother believe that two of the brother and sister cannot stay together because both of their lives will curse each others. At the end, one of them will die if the mother didn't separate this two siblings. Does it make sense to you? Of course you might be laughing and saying that the mother is stupid in acting that way to their own children. But, we seldom reflect on ourselves that we sometimes might act in a superstitious way even one might not realize that actually we are doing or supporting the act.

Let us pause for a moment and think. Does superstitious play a very critical role in our life? Does it determine  the day of your life?
Superstitious is not the way of life. Superstitious is not the way for a comfort life instead of bringing more and more problems to your life.

The only thing we can only do is Believe in God, and He will bless with a abundant of blessing. This inner peace of life you will never get it from any others on earth!
