God is all Light and all Good
“This is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.” (1 John 1:5 WEB)
Now that my daughter is in hospital, I can write about the verse above. When bad things happen, do you blame God?
“I prayed for protection. Why is she allowed to get bitten by insects? Why didn’t you prevent the insect bite from swelling? Why?” I could have easily gone down that path of trying to reason out things that I can’t even begin to understand in the spiritual realm.
However, when sickness, accidents or poverty strikes, it is not because God is testing us. The devil is the one who causes death and destruction.
God is light—He is all good. Every virtuous trait is His. His heart is love and everything He does for us who believe in Him is good.
“For Yahweh is good. His loving kindness endures forever, his faithfulness to all generations.” (Psalms 100:5 WEB)
When the devil attacks, don’t say that it is God. The Lord is working to turn everything around for your good.
“We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose...What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who didn’t spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things?” (Romans 8:28, 31-32 WEB)
The flesh will make you question God, but the reborn spirit knows that He is worthy to be praised.
If God sent His precious Son to redeem you from sickness, pain and poverty, why would He afflict you with them?
Let’s stop making up smart-sounding excuses to justify why God is causing calamities to happen to you. This is not God testing you, but you are coming out with a testimony.
The New Testament does talk about a type of testing but that is talking about persecution for your faith—when people treat you badly for being a Christian. But you getting afflicted by sickness, poverty or depression is not God testing you.
“Beloved, don’t be astonished at the fiery trial which has come upon you, to test you, as though a strange thing happened to you. But because you are partakers of Christ’s sufferings, rejoice; that at the revelation of his glory you also may rejoice with exceeding joy. If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed; because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. On their part he is blasphemed, but on your part he is glorified. For let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil doer, or a meddler in other men’s matters. But if one of you suffers for being a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God in this matter.” (1 Peter 4:12-16 WEB)
Like Paul said, if you are persecuted for being a murderer, thief or evildoer, don’t claim that you are being persecuted for being a Christian. Persecution for your faith means that others insult and bully you because you believe in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
The other type of “test” is the opportunity for us to test out (to use) what we believe, in real-life situations.
“Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.” (James 1:2-3 WEB)
For example, you learnt that God is good and that His grace is supplied to you apart from works. If you believe that, you will apply it in the way you live—you will test it out in real-life situations. Instead of blaming God, you will place your trust in Him to deliver you from harm.
“Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers.” (3 John 1:2 WEB)
In every situation, believe that God is good and that He is all light. You are coming out of that situation by His mighty power at work in your life!
Some believers are confused about God and still see Him as sometimes angry and sometimes loving. That is such a hindrance to bold faith. Understand the four gospels correctly, through the lens of Grace: https://bit.ly/understandeveryparable

Filmmaker Eunice Tan shared with me this interesting video that she produced on “Flies & Farming in Singapore”.
Her film on the Citizen Farm features urban farming and using farming systems that are sustainable and create the least amount of waste. For example, they use a unique fertiliser made from the poop 💩 of black soldier flies which are bred at Insectta, an urban insect farm located just next door. These flies feed on food waste, converting it into a natural fertiliser instead of it ending up in the incinerator.
Eunice’s video is one of two Singaporean finalists in the UN Global Youth Video Competition. The other video, by Woo Qiyun and Marissa Yeo Le Ping, is about Kausmo, a restaurant that reduces food waste by using overstocked and oddly-shaped fruits and vegetables that have been “filtered” from supermarket shelves for aesthetic reasons: youtu.be/bR7Z9pRbRyk. Each view of their videos counts as one vote, so do lend them your support!
As I said at the National Day Rally, climate change may seem abstract and distant, but we all have a part to play, taking practical steps to reduce our CO2 emissions. Glad to see our young people leading the way on this! – LHL

ADVICE FROM UKM MEDICAL DOCTOR
Little did you know ........ after reading THIS, you'll NEVER look at petai or Parkia speciosa in the same way again!
Petai or Parkia speciosa contains three natural sugars -sucrose, fructose and glucose. Combined with fiber, petai gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy. Research has proved that just two servings of petai provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout.. No wonder petai is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes. But energy isn't the only way petai can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.
Depression:
According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND among people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating petai. This is because petai contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.
PMS (premenstrual syndrome):
Forget the pills - eat petai. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.
Anaemia:
High in iron, petai can stimulate the production of haemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anaemia.
Blood Pressure:
This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the petai industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.
Brain Power :
200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school were helped through their exams this year by eating petai at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.
Understand that bananas contain lot of potassium too so eat more banana... Just look at those monkeys, they are really active, alert, smart and cunning too!!
Constipation:
High in fiber, including petai in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.
Hangovers:
One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a petai milkshake, sweetened with honey. The petai calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.
Heartburn:
Petai has a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating petai for soothing relief.
Morning Sickness :
Snacking on petai between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.
Mosquito bites :
Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of the petai skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation..
Nerves:
Petai is high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.
Overweight:
Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and crisps. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady.
Ulcers:
Petai is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.
Temperature control :
Many other cultures see petai as a "cooling" fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Holland , for example, pregnant women eat petai to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.
Seasonal Affecti ve Disorder (SAD):
Petai can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer, tryptophan.
Smoking:
Petai can also help people trying to give up smoking.. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.
Stress:
Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium petai snack.
Strokes:
According to research in "The New England Journal of Medicine" eating petai as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%".
Warts:
Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to kill off a wart, take a piece of petai and place it on the wart.. Carefully hold the petai in place with a plaster or surgical tape!
So, as you can see, petai really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrates, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals... It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around. So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, "A Petai a day keeps the doctor away".
