Good morning everyone. God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!!
We in America are truely blessed. We don't realize how blessed we
are. Some say lucky, lucky rolls with the unbeliever; blessed with the
believer. We drive in nice cars (maybe old but still), we have paved
roads, we have the right to speak out without major retaliation, can
hunt and carry guns, are not hungry, but most of all we have the right
OF FREEDOM OF RELIGION !!!!
A man at Bible study shared the story of a Romanian Army
soldier. Romania was overrun by the communists and Christianity was
not allowed and if in possession of a Bible you would be severely
punished or killed.
This soldier had a Bible, kept it safe
and read it daily, allowing no one to know what he had and what he did.
Then, he was transferred to a new duty station. Upon arriving with
orders in hand, he came in with his duffle bag and his Bible placed in
the top part of his bag.
The officer on duty commanded that
he give him his duffle bag, took it, opened it and scattered everything
out on a table. The Bible fell and stopped right in the middle of the
table. At this point the soldier began
praying that the officers eyes
would be blind to the Bible. This, having a Bible, was punishable by
the powers that be and possibly even death. As the soldier is praying he observes the officer touching everything on the table EXCEPT
the Bible.
Then the officer steps back, orders him to pack
his belongings back in to the duffle bag and proceed. Yes, he thanked
God for the miracle.
Do miracles exist? YES! However, in
America, the "civilized world" we have a tendency to justify why
something happened, or explain it away. Why is it we can't just accept that God is alive
and miracles are not dead.
People in the middle East see miracles daily. Maybe we need more KNEE POWER in America. And maybe we need to look around and observe better. Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
