God’s Constant Provision

Image
While I was busy binge watching episodes of Star Trek: Picard on my day off, I thought about changing my bedding and duvet cover. I thought I would put the pink duvet cover on. I decided to change my bedding the next day.  Suddenly, I heard my flatmate calling me. She asked me if I would like a pink bedcover and some pink pillow cases, as she knows how much I love pink. I told her I was just thinking of changing my bedding. The bed cover and pillow cases matched my bedding perfectly.  I went back to watching Star Trek. I then had a thought that I fancied some toast. I decided to make some later. I heard my flatmate calling me again. She said she had found a toastie machine that used to belong to her daughter. Did I want it? I said it depends if it still works. I decided to test it with a cheese toastie and it worked perfectly. I see myself having lots of toasties in the future.😊 The way my needs were met reminds me of the passage in the Bible that states when you become aware...

Jesus is Lord, Everywhere

A friend was telling me about when she had to travel for work to a country in the east known for their millions of gods. She said it was a huge culture shock to be in a culture where their religious beliefs pervades everything they do. She was very conscious that worshipping many gods goes against her Christian faith, but she also didn't want to offend her hosts. She said she kept praying about how to navigate in that world and at the same time not compromise her Christian values. I reminded her that while that eastern culture has a religious belief in many gods, our British culture in the west also has a belief in many gods, it's called secularism. Secularism has removed God from society, instead they believe in the gods of the self or ego aka personal truth, personal development and personal achievements.   Christians all over the world believe in the one Holy Trinity God - the Father, Jesus Christ or Son and Holy Spirit.  It doesn't matter what culture I find myself in...

The Holy Spirit's Language

At the bus stop, this woman sitting next to me seemed very agitated. She kept muttering to herself in a language I didn't understand.  Now and again, she called out the number 29, the bus I was waiting for. She then tapped my hand and pointed to the sleeve on her blouse and the button. I presumed she was asking me to button up the sleeve for her, which I did. She also "asked" me to button up the other sleeve. After I finished, she said thank you. In broken English, she said something about the underground not working.  Aha, that's why she seems agitated because the tubes are not running and she has to catch the bus. When our bus arrived, she said out loud, "29?  Not understand English."  I told her it was the bus 29. We all got on. She sat downstairs and I went upstairs.  When you have the Holy Spirit living in you, it doesn't matter if you can't speak someone's language, He will always show you how to "communicate" with the individual ...

How to Kill Time

The Bible teaches us that we become what we think. In a lot of my jobs, I have a lot of downtime.  For instance, while I was invigilating at this art gallery, I had lots of downtime.  I killed time by repeating the following truth declarations to myself about my identity in Christ. Christ lives in me (Galatians 2: 20) I am complete in Christ (Colossians 2: 10) I am the righteousness of God in Christ (2 Corinthians 5: 21) I have the Mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2: 16) Thank you, God, for giving me jobs where I can kill time by meditating on the Scriptures. ❤️ ----- Relevant Bible verses: "For as he thinks in his heart, so is he." Proverbs 23: 7 "For “who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ." 1 Corinthians 2: 16 "For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him." 2 Corinthians 5: 21 "Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit...

Divine Encounter

During my bus journey, I wondered if a friend, who works at a museum in central London, was working today. I was thinking of texting her, but I decided to leave it.  When I got off the bus, I walked to the local station to buy my lunch. On my way, I literally bumped into my friend. I told her I had been thinking about her. She told me she was on her way to work. After chatting for a few minutes, I told her I would see her later. What are the chances of bumpmg into a loved one among  eight million people in London?  Only the Holy Spirit can arrange that divine encounter. Thank you, Lord, for making me see my friend. ❤️

My Travel Companion

During my bus journey, this woman sat beside me.  At one point she asked me where Oxford Street was and I pointed it out to her. I asked her if she was new to London. She said she lives in Liverpool and wasn't very familiar with London. She also told me she was on her way to her country's embassy to renew her passport. I told her I actually received my new passport yesterday. We then had a nice chat about the weather. When we got off at the last stop, I  showed my friend how to get to the embassy. I even walked her part of the way.  I also pointed out a few tourist attractions. Before we parted company, we exchanged hugs. I believe the Holy Spirit brings people together who are having similar experiences so they can help each other out.  That's what makes life wonderful. ❤️

Christian Friends

Over the last two days, I've had a catchup with two of my Christian friends. There's nothing like having Christian friends who edify one another. Thank you, God, for  my sisters-in-Christ. ❤️
