WORDS OF HOPE

I find assurance in this. Psalm 46:1-3 God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth should change. Though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea. Though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble with its tumult. Sometimes you need to remind yourself that only God has the best solution.

What is your worst fear? Is it your weakness, failure, injection, surgery or death? What constitute your worst fear?  Have you  thought of an escape plan, if you have to face it? I've thought of faith and fear. It's your worst fear so it's only normal if you are afraid but it's never the best solution. What is your solution going to be, Faith or Fear?

What do thieves want? What have they been stealing? Are the things of value? Thieves don't steal worthless things, they seek things of value. If a man is of value then there is no way, he wouldn't be sought. There's nothing valuable in a  dead man but a living man is of value. The thief comes to steal, kill and destroy; you may wonder why you can't enjoy life without plights. Remember that the thief only seeks things of value and you certainly are of value. Evil only seeks good to destroy it. The devil still wants what God owns.

The first time I opened a dictionary, I was confused.  I found it difficult to search for words because there were so many of them under a letter. My grandfather taught me that, just as the alphabets are in order, the spelling of words also follow an order. Hence the first word under an alphabet would begin with  that letter and the first vowel; the rest  follow that trend. Living without guidance can  also be confusing, everything you see seems like a good move to make; but I wonder how long you can survive. You don't just need guidance, you also need a guardian.

I watched a documentary about poverty in the European countries. One issue most of them had was homelessness. Most of the poor people were working and receiving salaries alright but it wasn't enough to afford a rent. Most of them owned cars, which is a flash of wealth in our part of the world but to them; it meant nothing. So these homeless workers have no choice but to sleep in their cars at the end of everyday. It's simple, what you may brag about is the least someone has.

Light in darkness. It's quite difficult to see in the dark for the very first few minutes but your eyes adjust after a while. Light always overpowers darkness. If you ever get trapped in a hole and you get surrounded by predators; you are at least safe till they get in. Now imagine if someone comes to your aid; first, the person gets rid of the predators and then helps you out of the hole; that's what light does in darkness. No matter how deep you are in the dark, light can always find you and save you.

I've forgiven you. It's one of the easiest thing to say but we never mean it when we say it. How long can you hold on to fire? not more than a minute and yet we hold onto grudges for years. The truth is when you are angry at someone,you suffer, not the person. Learn to forgive and move on.
