Miracle

Many years ago I was driving through torrential rain when I came to a place where a small river had burst its banks and was flooding the road.  Nothing too dramatic. I decided I could cope with driving through it.  Halfway through the engine cut out.  I prayed a quick prayer,"Please help me." And immediately the thought came,"Keep pretending to drive."  I turned the ignition on and put the car in gear and was amazed to find the car moving forward and out of the flood.  Many of you will know that you can drive your car forward on the ignition for a short distance, but I had no idea you could do this.  No it wasn't really a miracle, but it was an answer to prayer for which I was very thankful.  I arrived home safely with no damage done to the car.

   So what would you say was the greatest miracle? We under-estimate the dreadfulness of sin and its power to keep us separated from God.  The greatest miracle was when Jesus died on the cross as our substitute so that if we trust in Him we are welcomed back into the Father's arms.  This was no easy solution but the greatest rescue mission ever planned and fulfilled.  Every day we should thank Father, Son and Holy Spirit for the only solution to the sin question.

Life after death

When we lose a loved one it is natural to wonder how they are faring in the next life. I would warn against going to a medium to find out. At worst these people are charlatans after your money, the rest misguided or worse. We are told in the Bible not to try to reach the dead. The best person to call on in this situation is Jesus. That's right, go to the top. He is always available through prayer and doesn't make a charge. All he requires is that you look for him with all your heart. He has the answers to all of life's difficult questions.

Persecution of the sick in Britain

The British government, through the benefits system is persecuting thousands of people who are not fit to work, giving them very skimpy benefits. People who are not able to work for health reasons are not able to stand up for themselves. The goverment will answer to God when the suicides happen. People were treated in this way back in the Old Testament. Then exile was the result for the perpetrators. Something equally as bad will happen to those in power today. The churches should be aware that there are people in need and set up soup kitchens for these people.Many are in this position through no fault of their own. They should be helped not looked down upon.

Persevering

Sometimes it's hard to keep going with something we have started. A little setback can get in the way of trying to do something good. I want these thoughts to touch your heart and make you think things through. However as I cannot tell if anyone has read them unless you comment, I get disheartened and feel I am a voice calling in the wilderness. But who can tell who might light upon this page and be really encouraged or helped in their journey of life. If only one person was helped it would all be worthwhile. If you have been helped in any way by this blog do make a comment.I could do with some encouraging too.You can find more thoughts like these at this link A thought for each day
