Guiding the Lost Couple

"Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen." Hebrews 13: 20-21

"And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch.” Matthew 15: 14

Years ago, I used to blog about my daily experiences. I've been asked time and time again to have them published, but something has been stopping me. Since I became a born again Christian, I now understand why I couldn't publish those stories - because I wasn't coming from Christ"s Will but from my own self will.

Let me digress for a moment.

While I was in town earlier today, this couple approached me and asked if I knew a certain place. I looked at the map, but I wasn't sure. The man asked me if the road was Pall Mall and I said yes.

When I got to the end of the road, I realised the street was The Mall, not Pall Mall. I had a feeling Pall Mall was close by. I started feeling guilty about leading the couple up the garden path. I asked God to guide them to their destination.

As I was walking to the bus stop, I was still fretting about the couple. The Lord told me to stop worrying as He will take them to the place they were looking for.

I still wasn't at peace.

When I got on the bus, I looked up the road on my phone and I saw that Pall Mall runs parallel to The Mall, and the place they were looking for was only a few minutes away. Thank God!

If I could feel guilty about sending this couple the wrong way, imagine how I would feel if I were to publish books promoting ideas that are not of God. I don't want that kind of burden, thank you!

If I am going to share my experiences en masse, I need to be sure I'm not the blind leading the blind. I trust that at the right time, God will give me the go-ahead to publish the stories that He wants me to share. ❤️

The Cross is My Landmark

"Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”), that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith." Galatians 3; 13-14 ---- While I was walking at Regent's Park, I could see BT Tower in the distance, which I used as my landmark to guide me to where I was headed. I know I'm headed in the wrong direction if I can no longer see any part of the BT Tower. It got me thinking of the cross that Jesus was crucified on. I believe the cross is a landmark that reminds me of the price Jesus's crucifixion paid for all humanity for all time. If I am ever feeling"lost" physically, emotionally or spiritually,, all I need to do is either think of the cross or look at a representation of the cross and I'm back on track. Thank you, Jesus, for dying for me on the cross! ❤️ ✝️ Photos of

If God is Sovereign, Why is there Evil?

It is written in the Bible that God is in complete control and rules over all. (Psalm 103: 19l If God is sovereign and in control of the entire universe, why is there so much evil in the world? In other words, why does He allow evil to continue? The Bible tells us that because God is extremely patient, He gives us many second chances to enable us to repent or change our ways, as He doesn't want anyone to perish. (2 Peter 3: 9) That's why God allows men to continue in their sin. At a time of God's choosing, He brings down the proud. (Daniel 4: 37) One example in the Bible is  the life of King Nebuchadnezzar. God sent a  dream to the king to warn him about his sins and how he was exalting himself above God.  If he did not repent, he would temporarily lose his kingdom and be driven away from human society and end up eating grass like animals.  The king did not heed God's warning. After a year, he ended up going mad and lived like an animal for seven years. God then res

Shopping with the Holy Spirit

Image
Because my job involves standing up for hours, I needed to get new footwear as the cheap trainers I've been wearing have been very uncomfortable. I have several trainers which are very comfortable, but they are too colourful for work as your shoes have to be black. My ideal would be black trainers that could pass as smart shoes where the logo is either hidden or not that obvious. The first thing I did was check the website of my favourite brand of trainers, I found a pair I liked. Because they said they come in small sizes, I decided to visit one of their stores at Oxfird Street (Europe's busiest shopping street with 200+ shops) where I could try them on for size. After work, I caught the bus to Oxford Street. As the bus was driving  by, I noticed a shop that someone had recommended. (I actually have one of their trainers, but they are in pink and blue and not suitable for work). There was another shoe shop next door that I am also familiar with.  Should I get off the bus? Nah.
