Godward

Today it took longer than usual to get to church. While I was waiting for my last bus, I asked God to get me there on time as I hate being late. When I got on the final bus, it was 10.55 am. As it only takes about two minutes by bus, I  knew I would get there exactly at 11 am. At the next stop, the bus driver announced the bus was on diversion. "I give up! I'm definitely going to be late now," I said out loud. An elderly lady siting near me  told me she and her husband were also late for the Catholic church they were going to. "I'm sure God won't mind," I said. I spent the duration of the journey chatting to my friend. By the time I got off the bus, it was about 11.10am. I noticed a van driving by with the  company name - Godward. Later, the Minister preached about repenting and moving toward God. In other words, moving Godward. I was never late, I was so on time, God gave me a preview of today's sermon. Nice one, God! 😊❤️

Focusing on God in the Past

Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.." Lamentations 3: 22-23, NKJV "I tell you, now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation." 1 Corinthians 6: 2, NIV "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever." Hebrews 13; 8, NKJV ---- A paradox. We are encouraged to live in the moment and yet the Bible that Christians draw inspiration from is based on the past. We follow Jesus's teachings and accept His salvation from 2,000 years ago and we draw inspiration from men and women of God who lived thousands of years ago. It just shows past, present and future are choices of mental focus.  In other words, I get to choose where I put my focus. So I choose to focus on Jesus's salvation and teachings in the Bible from the past and receive them now. I choose to celebrate all the good that God has done for me in the past and is doing for me in the pre...

God's Vision of Time

Image
When I came out of the library, I spotted a branch of a shop, where I usually get savoury sausage rolls, right opposite. Why not treat myself to one? When I crossed over, the shop was nowhere in sight. I could have sworn I had seen it or was I dreaming? After a few minutes of searching, I decided to get a salt fish pattie from this West Indian shop instead. Later, as I was walking down the road and munching on my patty, I spotted the shop I had been looking for. The shop is actually five minutes walk away from the library, and yet, I had seen it right in front of me. It was now too late to get a sausage roll from them. I have had these kinds of visions many times before. For instance, I would be waiting at the bus stop and I would see the bus I am waiting for approaching, but the actual bus will not physically appear until a few minutes later. It's as if I am able to see the immediate future right in front of me. I believe since all time is now, then I guess that's why I can se...
