"GOD & THE SPIDER"

During World War II, a US marine was separated from his unit on a Pacific Island. The fighting had been intense, and in the smoke and the crossfire he had lost touch with his comrades. Alone in the jungle, he could hear enemy soldiers coming in his direction. Scrambling for cover, he found his way up a high ridge to several small caves in the rock. Quickly he crawled inside one of the caves. Although safe for the moment, he realized that once the enemy soldiers looking for him swept up the ridge, they would quickly search all the caves and he would be killed. As he waited, he prayed, "Lord, if it is your will, please protect me. Whatever your will though, I love you and trust you. Amen." After praying, he lay quietly listening to the enemy begin to draw close. He thought, "Well, I guess the Lord isn't going to help me out of this one.." Then he saw a spider begin to build a web over the front of his cave. As he watched, listening to the enemy searching for him a...

Trust in God’s perfect timing

G od doesn’t always move according to your plans. He doesn’t depend on your wisdom and understanding. He acknowledges your prayers, but there will be moments when you need to wait for His answers. And it’s not because He wants to punish you or make you feel abandoned. He wants you to trust Him more than you rely on your own timeline. There’s nothing wrong with making your own plans, but learn the habit of consulting God before you decide to do something. Treat Him as your King and ask for His approval. Pray for His guidance and wisdom. You can’t stop His plans. He moves according to His purpose. You need to accept that truth so that when you get tired, you will be reminded to trust in God and not in your own strength. There will be moments when He will ask you to go through a long process before you finally receive what you desire. It may be challenging, but trust that in Him, you will experience more of His love. Be patient. Do not be pressured by the standards of this world. Some...

"Smile and Silence"

Successful people have two things on their lips, "smile and silence". A smile can solve problems while Silence can avoid problems. Sugar and salt may be mixed together but ants reject the salt and carry away only the sugar.  Select the right people in life and make your life better and sweeter. If you fail to achieve your dreams, change your ways, not your God. Remember, trees change their leaves and not their roots. You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones at every dog that barks. Haters will see you walking on water and say it's because you can't swim. Even if you dance on water, your enemies will accuse you of raising dust. Make it your ambition to live a quiet life, mind your own business, and work with your own hands.  Remember, don’t ever wrestle with a pig. You’ll both get dirty, but the pig will enjoy it.  Be Inspired and have a great day.
