A girl stopped me today while I was walking around Toa Payoh Hub. She was nice and seemed genuine. She gave me compliments and was interested to get to know me more. She asked me about my family background and wanted to know my dreams. It seemed like every piece of information I divulged was extraordinary. She asked. She listened. And listened... and listened. I felt special. Her acceptance made me powerful.
She was an insurance agent.
I was just looking for a place to sit and write when she popped up. I don't know whether I was glad that I had someone to talk to or not. I guess I didn't really mind the interruption. But that interruption took about 2 hours. I never really liked insurance agents who use fear to influence the buying of policies.
The conversation made me think about my beliefs. Insurance has never been my top priority because first of all, I believe that the believer's life should be one constantly lived in health. My reason for getting a policy cannot be one done in fear or faithlessness.
Does that mean you will never get ill or have to go to the hospital?
I don't think I would even answer that because I will never ask myself that question. Rather, my statement of faith will always be that my insurance policy comes from heaven. My Father God is the one who provides the best coverage against death, disability and disease.
- David Livingstone -
It is only from this foundation of faith that we can make wise choices about insurance policies or health plans. The Bible says to seek first the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness and everything else will be taken care of.
Get insurance with God and do a good deed...
Psalms 37:3 (The Message)
I like how The Message interprets this verse. It speaks of trusting in God and being active at the same time. We can only do good if we are fully aware of the benefits and the coverage of the most amazing insurance policy ever created. The premium is only to believe and the rewards are limitless.
