C.C. Reader
A ►Vay Of Life
With this article starts a
series of discussions on Chris
tianity as a way of life. The
writer relies on the Bible as
guide in applying specific
scriptural principles to our
day-to-day living, and it is
hoped that all the readers of
this column would be be greatly
benefited by examining their
lives in light of the principles
discussed.
This week, we are starting
off with the subject: "Do you
show appreciation?" When first
propounded, your immediate
reaction to this question would
be, "Yes, I always say thank
you when someone does a favor
for me." Think of this for a
minute, doesn't it make you feel
happy when someone shows
appreciation for your kindness?
It surely does.
However, there is someone
who has done so much for all of
us and to whom most of us do
not show any appreciation. You
might want to take a guess who
I am referring to. He is the
Almighty God, the Creator. To
help us to understand fully the
way God has created this earth
so that we can live in it
comfortably, I would prefer
you to the Bible book of Genesis
Chapter One through Chapter
Two verse seven. Therein you
will see that whatever man
would need to exist was created
before man was created. Many
of these wonderful provisions of
God are what we often take for
granted today.
We shall now examine some
of them.
The first thing we should
talk about is our lives-your life
and mine. Imagine if we were
like a piece of rock or stone,
would we be able to walk, talk,
see, feel, taste, hear, and enjoy
all the nice things we are
enjoying today?
We all beautiful flowers
and plants and we often take
the trouble to spend our time
and money on raising them.
However, what about the
creator of these flowers and
plants? Looking at these
beautiful plants should always
remind us of the creator.
There is also what students
of economics often refer to as a
"free good"-the air we breath.
Just imagine what will happen
to us if we do not have any air
to breathe.
Also, take a look around
you, at the sky, the field and
around your home. Do you ever
notice the variety of colors in
the things God has created?
Just imagine what it would be
like if everything in the world
were green. You would sleep on
a green bed with a green
blanket, sheet and pillows and
wake up in your green pajamas
to go to your green bathroom
and use all your toiletries which
evidently would be green and
proceed to your table to eat
your' greens and dress up in a
green shirt, tie, coat, slacks and
shoes and drive to school in
your green car to your green
classroom and study your green
books. How would you like
that? Dull and boring you say.
What about the parts of the
body? Do they ever move you
to want to thank the creator for
them? It seems we do not
appreciate whatever we have
until we have lost them. When
a-person becomes blind, he then
appreciates the usefulness of
the eyes.
Think about this too--each of
us as students has a natural
computer in him or her. Do we
know that? As a computer
made by human manufacturers
can store information for recall
in the future as needed, so also
can our small brains accumulate
a wealth of information for
several years and you will be
surprised how you remember
certain things instantly while
you can also recall others with
ease.
Furthermore, many people
today have forgotten that God
is the creator of the food we
eat. These people are not to be
blamed-the reason being that
many food items people eat
today have been processed or
changed in one form or the
other from its natural state.
Hence we grow up not even
knowing where peanuts come
from-are they harvested from
the top of trees of from under
the soil? This also goes for the
other food items. You may want
to argue that you do not have to
thank anyone because you pay
for the food you eat. What you
should remember is that it is
God who makes things grow
and you pay for your food
because every one of us cannot
be farmers--we need several
other goods and services in the
society, some of us will farm
while others do other things
and you have to pay for the
things you do not produce.
There are still other things
for which we should be thankful
to God but space does not allow
for their discussion here.
However, if we truly appreciate
what God has done for us, each
of us must henceforth start to
live his or her life as if it
belongs to God through our
actions, words and deeds.
Studying the Bible and
approaching God in prayer will
aid us in this direction.
Postcsript:
If there is an instructor
whose way of teaching you
appreciate, why don't you stop
back after the class today and
tell him or her how much you
appreciate his or her method of
instructing. This will surely
have a positive effect on the
instructor and also serve as a
feedback to him or her.
