Supernatural acts of Go are taking place every day in my life and possibly yours’ too if you open your eyes and start tuning your soul towards God.
I so often look at God’s people with hate, bitterness, and disgust, unless they meet my social, economic, and/or image (way they look) standard. I think this goes back to our upbringing; the way our parents raised us or what our childhood heroes taught us, the way we were picked on or teased by others in school, whatever the cards of life have dealt us, is generally what we will playback in our adulthood (Example, if a child is abused and hated as a child it will be difficult for that person to grow up and not also become an abuser simply because that is what they perceive is normal). My missions experience over the past few years has allowed me to play the cards of love and blessing on God’s people. I have been going to orphanages, church events, schools, and other programs, helping the needy through feedings, providing medical aid (eye examination), teaching Bible study/lesson, and much more. Through this process I’ve been blessed so many more times by the same people I went to bless. At first I was confused and didn’t want to accept but then realized I should not reject their blessing but thank God for it (and them). I’ve been dealt the playing cards of blessing and love; I’m now playing these cards out getting many more reward cards back. Ya know? more blessing and love cards but also challenging and difficulty cards too.
These blessings are God’s hands at work! This shows you the reader how God works through circumstance and people. [If you would like to know more please comment below, I try to keep it brief to keep the reader interested, “short and sweet”.]
I’ve been doing a lot of reading these past few months as we have a great library full of novels, spiritual books, and more, (we’re the world’s largest floating bookfair =)) I’ve actually gotten away from the scriptures and investing the majority of my quite time to devotionals (recommended to me by godly leaders), novels, and other spiritual books. I’ve found so much teaching and learning in these books, nothing against these books but nothing compares to the miracles, stories, songs and teachings in God’s written word. The book of Pslam is a strong inspiring book full of God’s greatness. I wanna dance and clap and sing and praise God like King David did. He was truly a man after God’s own heart. I want my heart to open to God and His glory. We can do this reading the living word of God and trusting in these Biblical truths. These truths show us the past miracles of what God has done, teachings than can and will be related to our present circumstance, and future (second coming and more). The Word of God inspires me read the Pslam below…
Psalm 139
For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.
1 You have searched me, LORD,
and you know me.
2 You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
3 You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
4 Before a word is on my tongue
you, LORD, know it completely.
5 You hem me in behind and before,
and you lay your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain.
7 Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
10 even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.
11 If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,”
12 even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.
13 For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
17 How precious to me are your thoughts,
How vast is the sum of them!
18 Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand—
when I awake, I am still with you.
19 If only you, God, would slay the wicked!
Away from me, you who are bloodthirsty!
20 They speak of you with evil intent;
your adversaries misuse your name.
21 Do I not hate those who hate you, LORD,
and abhor those who are in rebellion against you?
22 I have nothing but hatred for them;
I count them my enemies.
23 Search me, God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
24 See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.
