Obedience

Before the children's show I was working on started, my colleagues and I were in the foyer welcoming parents and their kids, directing them to the theatre and showing others where to park their buggies. 

I noticed one colleague was speaking to this man.  She told us the man said after he gave his Bible to a homeless man, God told him to come to this arts centre and get a Bible.  

Why would God send him to an arts centre that specialises in music, drama and dance? I suggested he could download a Bible app, if he needed instant access to a Bible. I even recommended an app I use, but  the man was adamant that God had told him to get a Bible at this arts centre.

While my colleague continued to chat to the man, I focused on welcoming guests to the arts centre.

Finally I saw the man holding a Bible. Apparently, my colleague always carries a Bible with her which she has been studying. As she was speaking to the man she was inspired to give him her Bible.

We were all amazed. 

My colleague wondered whether it was a coincident.  I told her God doesn't do coincidence.  There are several art centres in that area. God sent that man to our art centre and guided him to my colleague who had the Bible he was looking for.

The man told us Jesus had redeemed him from the destructive path he was on and he now shares the Gospel with others. 

I believe the man not only got to experience what it means to obey God, even when it doesn't make any sense, he is also building up his faith and trust in God.

I also believe my colleague was given an opportunity to be a blessing and part of the man's testimony of the goodness of God. She told me she was attending church after work. I'm sure she'll be sharing her experience with her church.

As for me, I always ask God to give me a wonderful day. I am so grateful to have witnessed the wonder of God in action which I can share with others.

Thank you, God!  You are wonderful! ❤️

An Easy Day

Image
Before I went to work at this museum, I thanked God for an easy, fun and wonderful day. Half of my time was spent working in the gallery, where I was invigilating, and in the shop serving customers.  Although it was really busy with a constant flow of visitors and kids, I found it easy as God was working in me and through me My work colleagues were also very nice and helpful and I enjoyed working with them. I also enjoyed chatting to the parents and their kids. While I was tidying up an area of the gallery, I found this soft toy and I gave it to a colleague to look after. Later, I saw this boy sitting in the cafe with his mum and sister. I noticed he was carrying the toy I had found in the gallery. I told him I was glad he got his toy back. I asked him how old they were, he was six years old  and his sister was ten. The boy said his birthday was on the 27th December. I told him my nephew's birthday was also on that day. How amazing is that? At the end of the shift, our duty ma...

Indiana Jones

Today, I was working as a host at three graduation ceremonies from the same university. At the end of each ceremony, the orchestra they had on stage played the theme song from the film, "Indiana Jones", composed by John Williams. By the end of my shift, I had that song stuck in my head. On the way home, I stopped at this restaurant to get some food then walked to the bus stop  As the bus I wanted got cancelled, I decided to travel a different route, which took a lot longer.  When I finally got home, I had a quick shower. I then turned on my laptop to watch some mindless TV on this film channel. Guess what film they had on? "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull." Very funny, God! 😂 Of course, I had to watch it again, even though I've seen it a zillion times. I never get tired of Indiana Jones films or that theme song. ❤️

Jesus is Lord!

"...no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit." 1 Corinthians 12:3 ---- While I was relaxing in bed, I stretched one leg and I started feeling pain on my calf.   No, no, no! The pain quickly became a cramp. I called on the name of Jesus, but I could feel the pain getting worse. Just as I was about to get off the bed and put my foot down, I heard these words deep inside of me, "Jesus is Lord." I said the words out loud: JESUS IS LORD! The cramp immediately left my calf. Thank you, Holy Spirit, for your reminder that Jesus is Lord. ❤️ "Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty." 2 Corinthians 3: 17 Image of the cross courtesy of Google Images, but I added the text.
