I don’t know how embed a YouTube “short.” There doesn’t seem to be a convenient way. But at least I can give you this one’s address. I urge you to take the three minutes it asks of you and pay attention to the event it describes.
I’m a poor evangelist. I lack something that makes other evangelists effective. I don’t know what that is. But that short video may have the answer.
“If today you hear His voice, harden not your heart.” (Psalm 95). Sometimes your words and voice are distractions, even obstructions. Let Him speak instead.
May He bless and keep you always.
Francis, this is just another truth we cannot deny - that Satan cannot deny. God works in mysterious ways and I never actually took that to heart until it happened to me.
ReplyDeleteI had been on my high horse - spouting off in public at a board meeting and said the wrong thing in front of the wrong person and my life quickly came crashing down. I was summarily fired from a volunteer position and am now persona non grata at the local sheriff dept. Then came months of self-doubt, soul searching and regret. Should I have said the things I did? Should I have just let it go? Did I actually "mean" what I said? I prayed about it - for instruction and assurance. Then it resolved.....
The entire reason is not important but, I allowed God to take over and let him guide me. He showed me the error of my ways in the strangest way. Others had taken over for me and did the job in a way I never did or COULD HAVE thought of. I was full of myself and God had to take me down a few pegs. It was a humbling experience and I am all the better for it.
Please do not ever quit your quest for guidance and peace. God is my peace and reassurance. Humans will always fail you but, God in his infinite wisdom will humble you and make you aware of your prideful arrogance and let you correct your actions. Today we are in a better place because I let him fix what I had sullied and I thank the Lord every day for making me a better person. Keep the faith my friend - you matter - you do to me.
Finally watched that and it was definitely not what I expected. Thanks!!
