Let Go and Let God

This post was first published on ROOTSS on Wednesday, 25th July 2007

When I was in the army doing my National Service, one of the terms that was commonly used was SBC or "simply bo chap". (SBC was the acronym for Singapore Broadcasting Corporation, what is now known as MediaCorp).

"bo chap" is Hokkien for "don't care" or "can't be bothered" and is used to describe a soldier who could not care less about things happening around him.

But the irony is that this is the way a Christian is supposed to live -- carefree and without worries. The Scripture says "do not be anxious about anything" and "cast all your cares upon Him".

Yes, everything in our life may not be appear to be smooth sailing. The boss may be on our backs. There are dozens of deadlines to be met. Our kids are struggling with their studies. Yet, the way we are to respond is not like the world responds, because they do not have Christ. We as believers have to learn to let go and let God.

I would like to share the following except of a DVD compilation called Humorous Bible Illustrations.  This one is entitled "Letting Go", and unveils the secret to overcoming all our fears, worries anxieties, cares, concerns, bitterness and resentments.



So let us learn to let go, and let God. Amen?
