Thoughts for another day

Today's verse: Dan. 2:22. He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him. (KJV)
(Pls. read the above before you read further. Thanks)

There are many complex things in us, which we have not understood properly due to which, we suffer. Lives are destroyed because of anger, lust and other ills of the moral kind. Why are these things pertinent to us? When I look at people all at peace with themselves, I am envious because in me dwell the traits of sin bearing seed whereas, those people are so holy and so content. Then I try to look inside and I discover in me a spirit leaning toward sin – not because I enjoy sinning rather I loathe it, but because this spirit seems to force me to it.

Today’s scripture, will help us understand the power of God who being omniscient and knowing all the deep and secret things, can help us in conquering our own selves and moving onto the path of victory. Whatever it is we do not know and are troubled because of it, we can rest assured that when we approach God in the matter, He will provide clarification; the only condition being that our approach needs to be sincere and marked with repentance.

My friend in Christ, seldom does life allow us the luxury of being in a state of bliss. This is because of our fall. Many times we struggle with our inability to do the good we know we need to do, or we struggle with a companion – a sibling, a spouse or a child, who is on the path of moral decay and we watch helplessly knowing not what to do. There is a solution I want to talk about and that is Jesus Christ. Go to Him with all your warts and accompanying welts. Talk to Him and tell Him about your problem and He will intervene in your life with His Spirit who will refresh you and take away the problem from its root. Trust Him to do it for He has done it for others and He’ll do it for you.
