None of Me, All of You

On my way to work, I was meditating on God's presence and thinking, "None of me, all of You."

After I finished my first shift at the museum, I had just about enough time to get some grocery shopping and then catch the tube to my next shift at the art gallery.

While we were briefed about our shift,  I started feeling pain on my right foot. It was getting so bad, I started thinking that I won't be able to work as I have to stand up. I quickly dismissed the thought and reminded myself that I walk in God.

During my shift, I was so engrossed chatting to my colleagues and visitors, I lost all awareness of my foot.

By the end of the shift, I was aware that both feet were now hurting.  Lord, I am going to have to rely on Your Grace to walk me home.

I noticed as I was walking with a colleague to the tube station I was gliding and I felt no pain. It was like I was on one of those travelators that they have at the airport where you are being moved while you're walking.

When I got off the bus and was walking home, my feet were hurting again. I let God walk me home effortlessly.

When I woke up this morning, my feet were no longer hurting.

The weaker I am in myself, the stronger I am in Christ. ❤️

The Cross is My Landmark

Image
"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.
