This might surprise you, but we
can converse with our Creator also by our actions. After all we all must have
heard that popular idiom: “actions speak louder than words”. In the same vein,
a child which really loves its parents will demonstrate this love by its
ways, by its actions, and not with flattering words. Only children who are
popularly known as “area boys” in some parts of Nigeria and shameless men in
uniforms at roadblocks expect gifts based solely on flattering words! You and I stand no differently before God! We
have to prove through our deeds what we wish to say to Him!
If we live aright in accordance
with the Laws of God, our wellbeing and happiness is guaranteed and we need not
beg for anything. We will then realize that the Lord’s Table is always set for
us and we are only to take based on our abilities while living in a way of
adherence to God’s Laws. As an analogy, a child who obeys his well to do parents
will not need to beg his parents for food, clothing or a bed. He does not need
to beg them to pay his school fees and all this child will be experiencing is
pure joy in a home that provides him nothing but love and parental security. So
shall it be for us too if we are obedient to the Laws of God, we will
experience peace and joy and from within our soul there will stream forth only gratitude
to Him Who in His Omniscience and Love ever again loads us with gifts every
day!
