Timekeeper

"My times  are  in Your hand." Psalm 31: 15 ----- While I was walking to the bus stop, I was thanking God for making my day easy, fun and wonderful.  Suddenly, I remembered I had left my sunglasses at home. Oh no, I need it as it looks like it was going to be a sunny day. I  walked back briskly, got it and walked briskly to the bus stop, as I didn't want to miss the bus. As  I always leave super early,  I could catch the later one and still arrive early, but I still wanted to catch the first one. As I was approaching the bus stop, I noticed the bus lights were on indicating it was about to leave. To my utter amazement,  I saw the driver walking towards the Portaloo (toilet) near the bus stop.  There was now no need to rush. After the driver got out of the loo, he took his time and chatted to the bus driver.in the bus behind. He then finally got on his bus and drove to the stop and let us in. Isn't it wonderful how God, who controls ti...

Christ is My Life

"For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it." Matthew 16: 25 ---- After I heard about another celebrity who had committed suicide, it got me thinking about  life. I used to think life belonged to me and I could do whatever I want with it. I could live the way I want or get rid of it once I've had enough of living. There was a time when I was feeling really depressed and no longer wanted to live, but I couldn't  commit suicide as I didn't want to hurt my mum.  I decided to give myself a reason to live  by loving at least one person a day, which kept those suicide fantasies at bay. After my mum passed away, the suicidal urge returned with full force. I asked a Christian friend to pray for me which stopped the urge, temporarily. I continued with my purpose of sharing love. When I finally accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Saviour, I gave up my life and in exchange Christ became my everlasting life a...

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 ...

Word Association

Usually when someone introduces themselves, I tend to instantly forget their name, even when the name is an easy English name. The only way I remember names is when I make an association with them. With non-English names, I have to keep asking and repeating them until they eventually stick. Where I work, there's a room some people ask about. Because I hadn't made an association,  I had to ask my colleague to remind me. I finally made an association that the name starting with an "F" is the name of a previous President. Now that I had made that association I knew I would never forget it. The next day, I noticed a visitor wearing a t-shirt with the same name on it. 😊 Another time, I was chatting to a work colleague about Superman. Suddenly, I noticed a visitor with a  t-shirt with the Superman logo. Very funny, God! 😆

Called by My Name

So a visitor asked me a question. After I answered it, he said, "Thank you, Sue." I wondered how he knew my name. He must have seen it on my lanyard. I looked down and saw that my lanyard was hidden inside my jacket. There's no way he could have seen my name unless he could see through my jacket. I believe either God had revealed my name to him or he was an angel.  ❤️

The Queue Manager

"The Lord has established His throne in heaven, And His kingdom rules over all." Psalm 103: 19 ----- Today, as there were only two of us that had turned up for that shift, our manager asked us to work at the front gates. This meant we needed the guys on queue management to ensure we weren't overwhelmed with visitors. They also covered our lunch and tea breaks. The most amazing thing was although my colleague and I were busy, we were not overloaded with visitors. My colleague marvelled at how quiet it was and how easy he found working with me. Later, while we having our end of shift briefing, our manager told us she had been feeling stressed in the morning because we were so short-staffed. She thanked us for the way we had adjusted and handled the situation. I wasn't stressed at all as I knew God is in control. Thank you, Lord, for managing the queue and providing all the support we needed. ❤️
