Find Hope In Hopelessness
In our current life right now, we could be facing many different situations or problems that are so real that cause us to feel hopeless. Feeling of hopelessness will make a person forget grace. However, the truth is in Christ, it is always hopeful. Jesus Christ has never stop working in our life or given up on us (how Naomi and us could feel many a times when we are locked in our emotions). It is all part of His plan. The key factor is whether we are able to see His hidden works in our hopelessness. We need pray against the feeling of hopelessness, to be sensitive towards His convictions, which will give us strength to resolute to follow God and see His hidden works. To the extent that one cannot have any hope in self but only in Christ.

Battling Inferiority, Indifference, Lack of Zeal
In this fast-paced society and highly demanding era, we are trapped in a system, both knowingly and unknowingly. What is this system? At first thoughts, this system seems to sound like laws and institutions. Yet if we inquire further, this system is in fact a godless and man-centric mindset, which very quickly develops into a disbelieving culture. As believers of God, we can be easily immobilized by such a systemic culture. We involuntarily subscribe to a certain way of thinking in this system of ours, be it with regards to merits, successes, achievements, problem-solving skills, etc. Such a system hurts the human soul and makes it grow cold. Consider, what happens to the fallouts of this system? They are constantly battling with inferiority (about self), indifference (about life), and lack of zeal (to do what ought to be done). May God open our eyes to this reality so that we can be sensitive to the needs of this era, and with that, relate the Gospel powerfully and relevantly.
