“Do not worry” was the title of the sermon last Sunday at Wesley
Methodist Church, my assigned church for fieldwork. The preacher, Mr. Charles
Tiong shared on Luke 12:22-34, mainly on how blessed we are as God knows what
we need and will supply us all that we require in our daily life.
However,
during offering, I opened my wallet and saw that I didn’t have any small notes,
only ten ringgit notes. That moment, I hesitated but I still ended up putting
in RM10 as my response to today’s message. I was left with RM30, and I had to
pay on my own expenses for Sunday’s lunch and dinner, Monday and also Tuesday’s
breakfast and lunch. That’s RM30 budget for 6 meals! In today’s market, that’s
technically impossible!
So I
withstood the hunger on Sunday afternoon and walked to Wisma Sanyan in the
evening to eat dinner. As I was walking back from Wisma Sanyan, I checked my
wallet, and there was about RM20 left only! I started to panic and worry. How
am I going to survive? As much as I know God knows my needs, I couldn’t help
but worry. And then my phone rang. My dad called, and we all know what happened
next. His close business partner who lives in Sibu came and visit me and gave
me some amount of cash.
As I look
back at this incident, I only had to pay for 2 more meals! Reverend Ting Diu
Kiong invited me and some others to eat breakfast with him on Monday morning
and Tuesday morning, after morning prayer in Xin Fu Yuan Methodist, and of
course there was not a chance where we pay by ourselves. Our God once said, “I
am who I am”. So who is He? He is everything we need! If you need love, He will
give you, food, He will supply you, so do not worry!
