While I was reading stuff on the first bible study facilitation tomorrow, it seems the first bible study would be centered around the midwives in Egypt who is willing to risk even their life when they defy Pharoah. Passage was taken from Exodus 1: 1-21.
So, yeah, here comes the tough part - the questions. If I were to take the midwives role in context, would I be able to do like what they did, which is to defy Pharoah and taking the risk of letting myself be killed? Interestingly, that situation could be related in the context of an NTU student.
Let's say your professor teaches you that the advancement in today's world is because society nowadays found out that the things which were taught in religion is superstitious, and practically, God does not exist. And after much research (while doing the paper on why there are so much advancement in today's world), you found out that those who agree with the professor's view on that area would most likely get an A, which will help you in maintaining your second upper degree. But if you oppose it, you would get a B or even worse, which will lead to second lower.
So, in that scenario, what would you do?
Interesting isn't it? To be honest, I might be the one who would be 'forced' to agree with the professor's view and include that into my paper, but on the other hand, I know it's just a wrong thing to do. (which reminds me to the passage which Jesus said in Matthew 10:33, "But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven.")
This act may actually shows that I do not trust God especially when I actually know deep down in my mind that my future is secure in His hands, even if I were to graduate with a GPA that is not so good.
So, really need to ponder on this. Does GPA really matters to me? Or do I treasure God's values more?
Starting out again is never easy. Disappointments come and go but life still moves on. So, no matter what problem you are facing, you can always start afresh, with God guiding you through. And there is always a glint of hope even in the darkest hour. -Lawrence-
