Today, during my quiet moments, I found myself thinking about stuff; Stuff that over the years have really changed and taught me lasting lessons.
When I first came to this great Nation-September 1987,things were so different from what they are today. Below, find three noticeable changes:
1.Then, you would walk into any ss office and get your copy. Today, it’s a different story.
2.Then, international students would decide not to go to school and nothing would happen. Today, that is un-thinkable
3.Then, you would walk into any office and get yourself a driver’s license. Today, more is needed before you can get one.
While the above may not mean much to many people, it does to me as a preacher. How so? Here’s how I see things:
There are so many things that the word of God tells us; things that more often than not do not make sense. Things that sometimes hurt and annoy so bad. Things that just by the mention of them, annoy some people here and there. Things that others have told us that they do not make sense. However, if the past is anything to go by, then we know without any question that all that the good book speaks about, will surely come to take place.
As the Lord himself once said, “I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen will by any means disappear from the law until everything is accomplished.” (Mathew 5:18.)
And so, when you hear someone quoting the Bible, before you become annoyed, please take time to check it out. As you check it out, please remember that the same comes from the sure word of God.
Have you noticed any change in the last week or so? Do you know the price of gas? Did you at any time think that you will pay this much for gas? You and I need to pray for a spiritual revival. I am willing to learn daily at His feet? Are you?
Just a thought.
