A Question About Fasting - Luke 5:33-39

 Some potential erroneous actions for modern people:

  1. Once we think of something good, we want to do it immediately. 
  2. We think that the new thing is always better than old things.
  3. We think one tool can solve all problems. We tried it once and it works well and so we think we can use it to solve all future problems.
Jesus reminded us that there is a right time and right place for all things. There is a need to match the tools/methods and the problems.


Lesson:

    There is a right time to do the right thing - Ask, is this the right time to do it? When is the right time to do it?

    The method must fit the situation - the right tool for the right job e.g. hammer for nails, screwdriver for screw.

    New things are not necessarily better than old things - Must know how to match - the right personality for the right job

    Chinese Wisdom is 天时地利人和 The right time for the right place for the right people.
