Walking with God

"That which has been is what will be, That which is done is what will be done, And there is nothing new under the sun." Ecclesiastes 1: 9 ----- On this day, 9 years ago, I dyed my hair red (can't remember the exact shade). Today, I dyed my hair  copper. History is repeating itself. 😊

While I was walking home, I thought, God I'm putting on  weight. I don't even est that much. If it's because of all the chocolates and cookies I've been eating lately, could you take away that desire and show me what to eat instead? When I stopped off at the supermarket to get some strawberry yoghurt, I was inspired to get a bag of clementines. When my flatmate came home, she brought me a bunch of bananas. Hmm, I wonder if God wants me to eat fruits instead? The jury is still out on that one. 😂

A friend took me out to lunch at this Turkish restaurant.  I had lamb Shish Kebab.  I  haven't had lamb in over 10 years. I'd forgotten what it tastes like.  It was nice, but it's no longer my cup of tea. I think I'll stick to chicken. 😊 Still, I am grateful to my friend for treating me to lunch. ❤️

My flatmate's cat is so clever, he took a selfie on my phone.  He's even smiling. No wonder he's called Zeus.😊 The truth of the matter is I erased all signs of my hand and made it appear like Zeus took the selfie.  For me, this photo represents the belief that man is self-made and that he doesn't need God. In order to keep that illusion going, you have to convince yourself that you are your own god, you have your own truth and you create your own reality.   Since God has given mankind freewill, He has no choice but to let us get on with our self-delusion until we are ready to know the Truth. A lot of unbelievers only cry out to God when they are in trouble. Been there, done that, bought the t-shirt and have since moved on. 😊 The Living God might appear to be invisible, but I believe He's very much real. I am nothing and can do nothing without Him. Thank you, Zeus, for humouring me with this selfie. 😊 Thank you, Jesus, for being my Lord and Saviour. ❤️ ---- Releva...

Note to self: The wonderful thing about the Bible is there are always new revelations. Here's one I discovered recently from Matthew 26: 28. --- "Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.” Matthew 16: 28, NKJV "And I tell you the truth, some standing here right now will not die before they see the Son of Man coming in his Kingdom.” Matthew 16: 28, NLT "I assure you and most solemnly say to you, there are some of those standing here who will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.” Matthew 16: 28, Amplified "I assure you that there are some here who will not die until they have seen the Son of Man come as King.” Matthew 16: 28, Good News “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.” Matthew 16: 28, NIV --- Who are the "some" that Jesus was referring to? They we...

Today, I was inspired to cook some pasta. I say "inspired" because I rarely cook and when I do, I know the Holy Spirit is doing everything with me.  When it was time to use the pasta sauce, I couldn't open the jar. I said, Lord please open the jar or send someone who can. I tried again, but the lid wouldn't budge. I used a towel and still nothing. I guess the Spirit of the Lord is not going to come on me mightily like He did on Samson in the Bible. 😂 (See Judges Chapters. 12-16)  There's only one other option - ask a guy. In the area where I live, there are lots of Eastern European shops, cafes and restaurants. There's one particular cafe where I often see macho type guys sitting outside smoking cigarettes, whatever the weather. There's bound to be a guy threre who will be able to help this "damsel in distress." So I turned off the cooker, put on my coat, scarf, hat and boots and walked towards the cafe. Within a minute, I spotted two macho type...
