Good morning people.
I remember my dad's civil war deliverance story. I believe someone needs to hear this.
According to him, he was in a Catholic secondary school then. When the school authorities learnt of the plan to kill the southern students, they made arrangements to relocate them to a 'safe' place.
Apparently, there wasn't enough room for all the students so my dad and a few others were taken elsewhere. It turned out that the 'safe' place wasn't so safe afterall. All the students taken there were killed that night. My dad escaped death by the whiskers. I'm wondering if my siblings and I would have still been born if the desire of the wicked was accomplished that night...Uhmmm
Anyway, the take-away for me is that the seemingly unimportant details may eventually mark the difference between life and death. Considering the limit of our vision and knowledge as individuals, it is unwise to look to our physical senses for direction in the affairs of this life. It is absolutely crucial not to trust in our senses alone to make decisions; that is a sure recipe for disaster.
As I hurried past a horrid hole in a public place this morning, the Holy Spirit told me that someone who is unfamiliar with that area could easily fall into the hole. That's also true for someone who goes into a new venture relying only on his/her past experience. This year (and beyond), I'll implore us to let the Holy Spirit guide us all the way. And please, be a good passenger, instead of fighting Him all the way. I'll leave you with Psalm 16:11
Psalm 16:11
New Living Translation
You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever.
Trust Him; He knows the way of life. He knows where the holes are and how to deal with them.
Have a blessed and productive day.
