CREATOR IN THE CHAOS


We all go through hard and tough times in our lives. In these situations we often tend to ask “why me?”or “is this really happening to me?”or “I wish this was just a dream ”, but the truth is you can’t change the past or its consequences but what you can do change is your next action. Many at times we wonder and even question God why He allows such situations in our lives. It  is true that it is hard to go through such situations. You  can’t always ask the question ‘why’ to God cause you just won’t get any answer. The truth is, it’s not about what we go through but about what we become through the chaos and struggle. Let me explain what I truly mean by saying this. Let me take the example of moses and the Israelites coming out of Egypt.

Now when Pharaoh had let the people go, God did not lead them by the way of the land of the Philistines, even though it was near; for God said, The people might change their minds when they see war, and return to Egypt. Hence God led the people around by the way of the wilderness to the Red Sea; and the sons of Israel went up in martial array from the land of Egypt.                                Exodus 13:17-18

If we see in this passage, it talks about how God leads the people not through the land of the philistines but through the wilderness. Maybe similarly, GOD is allowing the chaotic and hard times in your life so He can just make you much stronger than what you are now. The people of Israel, in the later part of their journey wage many wars and win them and only then they go to the promised land that God gives them. I believe if they had gone out of Egypt through the land of the philistines, they would have just died there. The ways that God is allowing you to endure is for the greater good and for showing a different aspect of God. It will just make you stronger.

There is also another truth to situations like these, say someone is coming to you and asking you for advice about a very similar situation that they are going through. If you have not gone through the situation then I don’t think there is anyway by which you can lead them in the right way of truth. Your path through the wilderness will not only build you, but maybe build someone else’s life in the future.

JESUS 2.0

  When we say the word ‘Jesus’ what are some of the things that come to our mind. If we are to list them it would be something like, ·       God ·       Church ·       Gospel ·       Worship ·       Christianity ·       Christian ·       Deity  And more ideas similar to what I have listed here.

KNOW THE SHEPHERD'S VOICE

As we take on each day of our lives, we sometimes find ourselves stuck in some situations or some emotions. There were times when I questioned God why all this happens. Why do I not find myself moving forward although the days just go by? In those moments of our life we just feel as though we have lost our way and just can’t hear the voice of god in our lives. In those places of our lives we just feel as though we are in the middle of nowhere. Maybe as you are reading this, you are in one of those moments of your life. But I want to encourage you and say that there is still hope in Jesus and that this situation is so much different when we see it from “God’s eye view”. Let me explain what I really mean by “God’s eye view”. When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.                                         ...

Spiritual Secrets | Unforgiveness |

  Unforgiveness is one strong emotion that most of the people tend to carry in their hearts. It is not only a strong emotion but also a very negative one. It is one emotion that has the power to destroy us completely if we allow it to. It is one emotion that we must never carry but we always tend to do because of other people’s actions and reactions to certain situations.   Why I say unforgiveness is very dangerous is because, let’s say that you have not forgiven your friend for betraying you in some situation. You carry unforgiveness in your heart. Although it is your friend who has wronged you and you have done nothing wrong, unforgiveness will only pester you and not your friend. You see this unforgiveness will create a hatred in your heart whenever you think about that person or come across a similar situation. This hatred will soon become anger and will come out and burst out in places and situations that you don’t expect resulting in problems only in your life. And the p...
