The Finger of God

Heya! Greetings in the name of Christ Jesus.  Around this time last year, when everything came to a standstill because of the pandemic and the lockdown, God inspired me to connect with my Sunday class kids virtually to make use of the time. I had to abruptly stop the lessons due to the imposition of lockdown so I praised God for giving me the knowledge to continue the lessons online. Having finished the lessons, I did not know how to move forward. I wanted to teach them more but I was not sure what to teach them. While I was mulling over this, out of the blue I caught a fancy for 'The Book of Revelation'. I'll teach them the book of revelation , I thought. My mind shouted in disagreement because I was planning for a 'Revelation' Bible study for the 6th, 7th and 8th graders and on top of that I haven't done a deep study of that book myself. However impossible it sounded, my heart had already fixed it's course to go on with it. I prayed about it and asked God ...

     It has been more than ten years since we came to the house that we presently live in. W hen we first came to this place it was quite underdeveloped, roads were not laid properly and all around our house plants had grown wildly. W e were frequently troubled by insects, which were supposedly harmful, but each and every time God's hand protected us. I want to recount one such incident in this blog.      I hurried into my room and quickly grabbed my home clothes. After wearing a tee shirt I was rummaging for a pant. Having found one, I was ready to slip into it when something fell on the floor from the pant that I was holding in my hand . What I saw on the floor sent chills down my spine- it was a baby centipede (it looked venomous, though it’s less harmful) . Before I could muster my courage and find tools to attack it, the insect disappeared out of my sight. I informed my parents and we searched for it in the direction it had gone but in...

    A lot of times I get quizzed by people I know on why I don't listen to secular songs and why I don't indulge in watching secular shows and movies and for long I wished to provide a decent answer to it.

 Yesterday I happened to send a Bible verse, which I found on Youtube post, to my sister and that's the reason I'm writing this post today. This is what happened:       My sister was unable to sleep last night and so she got up to pray. She sat on her bed and started talking with Jesus. She told him how she felt about certain things in life; things Jesus had promised to give her a breakthrough, and how she felt when nothing of that sort was happening. After a few moments, she felt like praying for a friend who was facing troubles in marital life and was at the end of the rope; totally shattered not able to pray. This burdened her a lot and she looked at Jesus and said, "In all my life, at some point in time, at least for once I would've obeyed You and walked according to how You had directed me. For the sake of that act of obedience please grant me an answer for this prayer" She felt the Lord smile at her child-like request and God put an answer in her heart. Sh...

  Where I Am is Not Where I Planned to Be Where I am is not where I planned to be, You O  Lord are leading me to mysteries. Uncertainty resounding around me, I wish for clarity. I’m weak, I’m worn, and I’m broken; You make me sing  Hallelujahs In the middle of the raging storm. As I say I’m tired of holding on, I see Your warm words wrap my cold heart. You are teaching me to wait on You, Stirring me to pursue You, You are making me a warrior I never thought I’d be. All I hear now is only a discordant clatter And the world screaming, “Give up, your faith doesn’t matter” But deep within I hear you whisper, “Dear child, I’m orchestrating a symphony,   Won’t you just trust in Me?” Listen: Gold is sent through the furnace to be refined; You are travailing on this path to be defined. Everything around you might inflict a scar as you walk along it might seem bizarre;   Worry not, the scars will finally heave into view The gre...

  Sometimes in our lives, everything God has done becomes insufficient when we spend our mind in worrying about the future. This is the weapon that Satan uses to blind our eyes from seeing the perfect plan of God. He takes advantage of our weak impatient  faith to make us forget all that the good Lord had done and has promised to do. Of late, I realized that I had become a prey to Satan's weapon; God graciously opened my eyes to His plan and made me understand what a big liar Satan is. I thanked God for showing me the truth and  penned down these lines. I pray that God speaks to you through this. God bless you 😇 Add caption
