Wisdom 6:1-11 / Luke 17:11-19 (2019)
"Thank you" may be just two words, but it is easy to forget to say them and at times even difficult to say them.
We can forget to say them when we don't appreciate the good deeds that people do for us, or we may just take them for granted.
We can forget to say "thank you" when people give way to us when we are going in or coming out of the MRT, or when others give way to us on the road.
And we might find it difficult to be thankful, especially to God, when we are going through a rough time and we feel that He isn't helping us or answering our prayers.
But with whatever little faith that we have, we must believe that God only wants the best for us, and when we pray, we also must believe that God is listening and that He knows what we want.
If we can thank God even if our prayers are not answered according to the way we want it, then we can be sure that our faith in God has deepened, and that we can trust Him enough to say that He knows what He is doing and that He knows what He is going to do.
Thankfulness and gratitude are the expressions of our faith.
May we do our best in thanking God and believe that He only wants to do the best for us.
