Silent Time

We all are at risk as long as we live: other people try to harm us, obviously evil-doers like criminals and burglars, sometimes even our so-called friends have negative intentions. Beyond people, the enemy continually tries to confuse and harm us by setting traps, which are often not so obvious.

But we can put ourselves under the protection of the almighty creator God, the merciful heavenly Father. He is faithful and has a good plan for everyone individually to guide us throughout this life’s good and bad times.

What do you select – blessing or curse?

The answer seems obvious and yet it often turns out later that we made the wrong choice.

How can we know upfront what is the best choice?

Do you also know such a situation – you make too many plans and get worn while loosing the focus? It can easily happen especially in this digital age of so many opportunities.

Which songs do you sing and listen to?

What do you do with burdens and sorrows that bother you in life?

We easily complain. And yes – we can tell everything, tell it most of all to the Lord: we are invited to bring all kinds of emotions to the merciful heavenly Father in prayer.

Keep your focus on him the almighty Saviour throughout good and throughout bad times.

What gives you joy?

Hobbies and entertainment?

Does it make sense to honour parents and to respect superiors and elders?

Do you live in anxiety? Hardly anyone will admit that. But deep down many have hidden fears. Even less will admit that they are afraid of punishment, yet that is often hidden, sometimes in the sub-consciousness. Praise the Lord that he has won the victory over all that tries to harm us. The heavenly Father offers to everyone to be set free of all fear. No more anxiety for all who put their trust in him.

Over the lifetime of a person, interests and assumptions develop, convictions and patterns of thinking change with age as we get new insights. Because even with a lot of wisdom we still do not know the absolute truth. So let’s put our trust into the almighty, all-knowing eternal God.

Have you created anything? For example you might have set up your own website, or made the garden look nicely, or you might have invented something.

Even major inventions and things created by humans are relatively small compared to the creation of the almighty eternal holy God. Praise him that he provides what we really need, everything at its time.
