Walking with God

In the Star Trek Voyager episode called "Scientific Method", the crew are being secretly manipulated by these aliens that are invisible to them. The aliens are actually using the Voyager crew as guinea pigs for their scientific experiments. For instance, they are manipulating Captain Janeway by giving her constant headaches to see how much she can take. They are  manipulating Chakotay, the first officer's DNA to make him age rapidly, etc. After Seven's perception filters are adjusted, she's able to see the "invisible" aliens working on the crew.  When the aliens are finally revealed to the crew, the arrogant aliens insist on continuing their experiments on the crew.  Captain Janeway is forced to take drastic measures to get rid of their tormentors. The aliens in this Voyager episode reminds me of what the Bible teaches Christians that our battle is not against flesh and blood but against the invisible spiritual powers working through people. (Ephesians 6...

While I was in town, I popped into the National Gallery to see some paintings. That gallery is really massive and full of visitors and I can only take in a few paintings at a time.  To help me recover from information overload, I went to sit on this comfy sofa near the information desk. I then noticed someone had left their reading glasses near where I was sitting. When I went to hand them in at the information desk, I recognised the woman at the desk as someone I worked with two years ago at a museum with the largest collection in the world.  What a wonderful surprise!  I've often wondered how she's doing. Now I know. Thank you, God, for answering my question. ❤️ Some photos I took before information overload.

On the way to work, I stopped off at this supermarket to buy some food for my lunch break.  I also fancied an easy peeler fruit, but they only had them in a packet. I could see they had loose bananas, but I didn't fancy any.  After I bought a croissant and some pasta to have for lunch, I asked a member of staff if they had loose easy peelers as I only wanted one. She said they didn't do them. She then picked up a packet of easy peelers and asked me to follow her. She led me to a till and asked the cashier to give me the packet of easy peelers for free. I was so grateful. On the way to work I kept thanking God. I could feel Father God smiling and saying "My pleasure." I am reminded of what Jesus told His followers: "Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom." Luke 12: 32 I ended up having two easy peelers and sharing the rest of my blessings with my work colleagues. Thank you, God, for your limitless unmerited f...

Before work, I always check the travel app the night before for train times and the quickest route. I decided I would catch the 08.08 train into town followed by the tube, which should give me enough time to stop at the local shopping centre to buy some food for lunch; walk leisurely to work; change into my uniform; gather everything I need; and have the usual banter with my work colleagues before our briefing. On the actual day, I checked the travel app again. It said the earlier train, the 07.38,  was delayed and was now due at 07.41. As I was already dressed, I decided to catch that train, instead of the 08.08 train. When I arrived at the platform, I noticed there was a revision to the train timetable showing that the 08.08 train was now cancelled and the second train was going to be 08.38. I knew if I had caught the 08.38 train, I would not have any time to get lunch and would arrive at work with only a few minutes to spare.  Thank you, God, for always adjusting my plans a...

I saw this image on Facebook and it made me chuckle. It reminds me of when I was working at this "after school club" at this primary school.  The kids I was working with were aged between 3 to 5 years old. The girls were very demure and playing with their dolls and the boys were very boisterous. The boys ran me ragged as I taught them how to share the football and play as a team. 😆 That was three years  ago. I wonder how those kids are?  God bless them all. ❤️

When I woke up this morning, I was meditating on the love of God in Christ and that I live, move and have my being in His love. At the museum I was working at  today, I noticed this woman wearing a top with the word, "LOVE" in front of it. As she was walking by, she smiled at me and said hello. I said, "Hello Love." 😊 I live in and on Love. ❤️ ----- Relevant Bible verses: "for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’" Acts 17: 28 "For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8: 38-39 "He who does not love does not know God, for God is love." 1 John 4: 8
