Silent Time

Love is better than burnt offerings.

Whether we admit it or not, nobody has everything 100% under control, we may try to optimize some aspects of life, and the same time neglect other aspects. Even the most intelligent person has weaknesses.

By the grace of the almighty God the highest, our lives may be blessed in those aspects which are really important and that count in the end.

It is one thing to bring prayer requests to God.

Beyond that, there are many more aspects of prayer: to pray also for others in intercession, to bring our wrongdoing to God and to receive his forgiveness, to request the Lord for guidance to receive his advice, as well as to give thanks and praise to the Lord.

And then we can pass on the good news to others as well, to proclaim the Lord’s mighty acts.

Have you noticed that many people do not have real hope?

They only see this physical life and if they do not get what they want, they either get aggressive or they fall in despair or depression.

But from the good news, we get real hope.

In the Lord we can find refuge that reaches even beyond our imagination.

In the universe, regularly there are new findings with using telescopes and modern technology, and yet no planet like the earth is found, its distance to the sun is exactly arranged in a way to enable life, added by its prcise angle of rotation etc make the earth unique and water in its 3 phases enables physical life as we know it. The eternal, all-knowing God in his wisdom has created the universe like that. And the creator is far greater than the creation.

What is the bread of life for you?

In the wilderness, if the strongest animal protects another one, then it is safe.

If the strongest army is on guard, then no other rebels can harm them.

How much more, if the real highest force is on guard:

The almighty God promises to protect those who put their trust in him from all real harm.

What do you think of, when you hear the word “blessing”? An old-fashioned word? Or simply a good wish? There is much more to it, so big that it even goes far beyond our imagination.

There are many types of needs in life, for example the need for change, or the needs in case of being poor, or the need for rest when having too much work and there is also the need for forgiveness, because nobody is perfect. God offers help in all these needs.

What are your biggest doubts and fears?

Several of the apostles had to go through serious trouble, pain and challenges.

They learned to look to the Lord rather than to focus on the storm.

We get invited to learn the same.
