Christian Reflection and Prayer

God Knows Best!

Scripture:

"They mocked the messengers of God, despised His words &
scoffed at His prophets." (2 Chronicles 36:16)

Reflection:

People often turn to me, as a minister, for advice. Sometimes
they want answers to questions that have troubled them for a
long time, or sometime they want advise about matters of heart
or the spirit. Often times they question something that they
had read in the Holy Scriptures. What is frustrating to
me is when you give your professional advice, and they don't
follow it or, what's even worse, they don't listen. This is especially
true when it's advice that is difficult for them to hear. Imagine
how God feels when we ignore His. He's the only One with perfect
knowledge of what's good for us, yet we often act as if we know
better. Guess what we don't!!!!!! Through God's Grace He teaches
us what is best, but doesn't force us to do it. God patiently presents
what is right and good and allows us to choose it. I have a great
idea, "Lets Start Listening Now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Prayer:

Oh Lord Jesus Christ please teach me to listen to You.
Thank you for your Grace and Your patience. THANK
YOU GOD FOR BEING GOD

Quote of the Day

Baroness Bertha von Suttner

(1843-1914)

"The question of whether violence or law shall prevail between states
is the most vital of the problems of our eventful era. Inconceivable
would be the consequence of the threatening world war which many
misguided people are prepared to precipitate."
