It’s been a while since I have published a post. I don’t believe that I need to pen down everything that
happens daily. I guess the beauty of it lies in keeping certain incidents close
to yourself, to ponder over it a couple of times in your heart or head, which
ever way you choose.
Of course there are those things that need
to be shared or should be shared with others. How do we know when and how do
we know what?? This of course requires much wisdom and discernment! This also
bears great bearing on your motives which clears the path in a big way.
You as a reader might have noticed my
posts to be short and containing simple topics. Honestly, I am no philosopher
who has the answer to all the questions life throws at me. But as mentioned in
my earlier posts, I do know the One who created me and called me to live this
life in way that truly honors Him and is absolutely satisfying!!
My task is to point you to the One I know,
the Creator and Sustainer of this universe we live in. I am sharing a except of one man named Paul who addressed the people of Athens on the same issue. I will be grateful if you read this account!
"So Paul, standing in the midst of the Areopagus, said: "Men of Athens, I perceive that in every way you are very religious. For as I passed along and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription, 'To the unknown god.' What therefore you worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you. The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man, nor is He served by human hands, as though He needed anything, since He Himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything.
And He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place, that they should seek God, in the hope that they might feel their way toward Him and find Him. Yet He is actually not far from each one of us, for
And He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place, that they should seek God, in the hope that they might feel their way toward Him and find Him. Yet He is actually not far from each one of us, for
"'In Him we live and move and have our being';
as even some of your own poets have said,
"'For we are indeed his offspring.'
Being then God’s offspring, we ought not to think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and imagination of man. The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now He commands all people everywhere to repent, because He has fixed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom He has appointed; and of this He has given assurance to all by raising Him from the dead." From the Bible (Acts 17: 22-31)
