A testimony of God's protection

It was around 5AM on 3rd May 2012, while I was traveling in the bus that the bus met with an accident when a truck almost collided with the bus. The truck went on scraping the side of the bus, leaving the front glasses of the bus broken and very few minor injuries to 2 or 3 passengers. If it would have been another 2 or 3 inches inside, it would have been a major accident.

I was thanking God for His protection and watching over us.

To day morning, while I was driving to the church, a car comes in the opposite direction (even though the road I was traveling is supposed to be one-way) and I almost would have hit the car. But in the last minute, we slowed down and escaped the accident.

At this point, I was reminded of God's protection over me again and am putting down this testimony to thank God for He is watching over me.

Psalms 121 describes God as the Lord, who watches over His people. He neither slumber nor sleep but keeps a watch over His people. I was reminded of this fact in both of the above incidents.
"The Lord will keep you from all evil
He will keep your life
The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in
from this time forth and forevermore" Psalms 121:7,8
What a joy to know that the maker of heaven and earth is our protection and shield.

Here is my song of praise:
"God is our refuge and strength,
A very present help in trouble

The Lord of Hosts is with us
the God of Jacob is our fortress" Psalms 46: 1,7

You O LORD, are a shield about me
My glory and the lifter of my head

I lay down and slept
I woke again, for the LORD sustained me - Psalms 3:3,5

A life that lost it's focus

"Saul died for his trespass against the Lord [in sparing Amalek], for his unfaithfulness in not keeping God's word, and also for consulting [a medium with] a spirit of the dead to inquire pleadingly of it, And inquired not so of the Lord [in earnest penitence] ..." 1 Chronicles 10:13,14 Saul, the first king of Israel, began his walk very well. It was the ideal start any one could look for - with all the favor from God and Prophet Samuel, being the tallest one among the people, being the first king of Israel. But along the way, he lost the focus and the end was a miserable and sad one. I am sure you will agree with me that it is how you finish, is more important than how you start . It is definitely an advantage to start well, but finishing is more crucial. The above verse made me think on why Saul's end was a sad one? What are the lessons that I could learn from him? He disobeyed the specific command to destroy the Amalekites Not keeping God's word - In general...

Praying Effectively - Learn from Nehemiah of Bible

How to Pray Effectively by Rick Warren Please remember what you told your servant Moses: “If you sin, I will scatter you among the nations.” Nehemiah 1:8 (NLT) Here are four secrets to answered prayer from the life of Nehemiah: 1. Base your request on God’s character. Pray like you know God ill answer you: “I’m expecting you to answer this prayer because of who you are. You are a faithful God. You are a great God. You are a loving God. You are a wonderful God. You can handle this problem, God!" 2. Confess the sins of which you’re aware. After Nehemiah bases his prayer on who God is, he confesses his sins. He says, “We’ve sinned.” He says “I confess . . . myself . . . my father’s house . . .we have acted wickedly . . . we have not obeyed.” It wasn’t Nehemiah’s fault that Israel went into captivity. He wasn’t even born when it happened and he was most likely born in captivity. Yet, he’s including himself in the national sins. He says, “I’ve been a part of the problem.” 3. Claim...

Understanding Christmas

We have been halfway through the Christmas season. Many of us must have gone through lot of Christmas seasons and I am sure we all have enjoyed them with our families and friends. Over the years, I realized that I can really enjoy Christmas when I understand the true meaning of Christmas. This year, I started digging deeper into the Bible to understand the real meaning of Christmas. Reference from the Bible: Luke 1:67-79 This was the prophecy by Zachariah after the birth of his child John the Baptist. He was prophesying about the salvation that is going to be made available through the birth of Jesus Christ. Christmas is nothing but God implementing His plan of salvation for the world. At this point of time in history, the people of Israel were under the bondage politically, in darkness as there was no revelation (word) from the God for a period of 400 years, they were going through shadow of death spiritually. Under this background came this prophecy as rain in the desert. Christmas g...
