Looking out into the night sky last evening before bed singing How Great Thou Art, I reflected on why I was recently confused by the death penalty debate that had been going around in school, talked about in my human rights and law & justice modules and sparked off by the slashings that have happened in Singapore. Do I support capital punishment for those youths who recently chopped a guy to death? If I were the judge, would I choose to grant them a one-in-a-millionth (in Singapore's case, one-in-a-gazillionth) chance to do reformation and rehabilitation instead of sending them to the gallows? While I was looking out of the window, I realized that perhaps it is God's way of telling me to get out and above this debate. Isn't this why God placed governments over us? (Romans 13:1-5 and 1 Peter 2:13-17 - to submit myself to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake, including my governor). Instead, I should be more concerned for those who have not yet known Christ who are debating about earthly death penalty when all of us as sinners, have already been sentenced to an eternal death penalty when we leave this earth if we have not received Christ as our personal Savior. Doesn't the latter sound more important and weighty when you juxtapose earthly and eternal spiritual death penalty? What a good reminder for me to focus only on glorifying God in my testimony for Him.

Who Am I
I'm Lois, a human being saved and currently alive by God's grace.
[I am crucified with Christ: neverthless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me.
Galations 2:20]
“Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is God's gift, that's why we call it the present.”
