Uncovered

There they were, happily driving along, when in a moments inattention, “Crash – Boom,” they came to an instant sudden stop, Airbags deployed, dust and steam everywhere, windscreen crazy cracked, and the bonnet looking more like a mountain range.  There bent across their front, is one of those very expensive “Luxury Cars” from Europe.  All inside were safe, because of its extremely high safety ratings, through over engineering, their injuries are rare, and usually very minor, it was a “walk away accident.”

Reality now hits the driver, as he looks dazed upon the chaotic scene in front… Continue reading →

The Surgery

The day had finally come, there was finally now no other way, no other choices, this needed their total submission, committed into the Surgeons hands, yet there still arose some thoughts of anticipation, fear, dread, excitement that full health was about to be restored, a new and better life ahead, this wide raft of varying thoughts and fears bounced around inside their head, the gown, the bed, then the operating table and then, and then.  Awaking in recovery, and all had gone way better than anticipated, totally healed and totally restored, ailment gone, the checks were made… Continue reading →

Stumped

Here is an interesting problem that is not so common these days, “Stumped.”  In the very “Old Days” roads were tracks through the forests and undergrowth, or you just forged your own way, but every now and then, you got “Stumped.”  There stuck against your axel barring your way, was an old tree stump that a previous person had cut down so that they could pass that way, they chopped down the offending tree, then drove their cart or waggon over it, but your lovely low slung cart or trailer is now stuck.  If you were… Continue reading →

Unrealized Potential

Here is something to ponder; The battle between Joseph and his brothers began because of his dreams.  Not that Joseph was very rich, but his dreams were a threat to his brothers.  Listen, the enemy of souls doesn’t attack you because of who you are today, but because of who you can become.  Your amazing future is the reason you are under attack.  The Devil wants you to give up on achieving your abounding future, but God has a much better plan.  Agree with God today, that you will not give up until… Continue reading →

Closed Doors

Quote; “We need to learn to praise the Lord as much for a closed door as we do an open door. The reason God closes doors is because He has not prepared anything over there for us. If he didn’t close the wrong door, we would never find the right door.

God directs our path through the closing and opening of doors. Once a door closes, it forces you to change your course. Another door closes, it forces you to change your course again. Then, finally, you find the open door and you walk right into your… Continue reading →

The Cat Cage

There he was, tail held high, wandering about in the cool of the evening, right after his dinner, when it happened, out of nowhere the stray Tom Cat struck, he struck fast, well planned, and furiously attacked, Simba did his best to protect, defend and to escape but the wild Tom was too well planned in his attack, and Simba got severely bitten, the victor wandered off, proud that he had once more exercised his domination of everything in his dominion.

Limping home, familiar things was all Simba wanted, up on the bed where he would be… Continue reading →

Watch and Pray

Prayer and watching thereunto are necessary for advancement in the divine life. . . . Your only safety is to live like a watchman. Watch and pray always. Oh, what a preventive against yielding to temptation and falling into the snares of the world!  “Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.” Ephesians 6:18.  “Take ye heed, watch and pray.” Mark 13:13.

First, you are to watch. Watch, lest you should speak hastily, fretfully, and impatiently. Watch, lest pride should find a… Continue reading →

By Beholding

Quote; “Cultivate the habit of speaking well of others. Dwell upon the good qualities of those with whom you associate, and see as little as possible of their errors and failings. When tempted to complain of what someone has said or done, praise something in that person’s life or character. Cultivate thankfulness. Praise God for His wonderful love in giving Christ to die for us. It never pays to think of our grievances. God calls upon us to think of His mercy and His matchless love, that we may be inspired with praise.  Earnest workers have no… Continue reading →

The Squeaky Wheel

There it was, his new lawn mower, it was very different from what he had previously owned in the past, so as the years rolled by, and each time he mowed, he just adapted to its quirks and differences, but then came the day when he had to use another person’s mower, and then he found the difference, his was so very hard to push, so stiff and resisting, and the other persons just floated along so easily.  He had just gotten so used to pushing his stiff mower, and that was just normal to him,… Continue reading →

Truth about Temptation

Here is a summary from a Sermon that I was pointed to, and it is well worth a viewing, it is on “YouTube” – The Truth about Temptation by Daniel Pel.  Open your Bible to, James 1:12-16 “Blessed [is] the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.  Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:  But every man… Continue reading →
