WHY ASK WHY?

Why ask why?
"That no man should be moved by these afflictions: for yourself know that we are appointed thereunto." (1 Thessalonians 3:3)

In his thought-provoking book, "Why Ask Why", the bestselling author, John Mason, wondered why people ask too many questions about their life experiences instead of facing the realities of life. Infact, the subtitle of the book reads: if you know the Right Questions You Can Find the Right Answers.

Sometimes, challenges come the way of a boy or girl. Has your dream of a good university education been shattered by sudden demise of a parent or guardian? Besides, challenges of some sort are an effective tools that can move you to excel in spite of all odds.

Thomas Alba Edison was partially deaf and had only three months of formal education, yet he invented the incandescent light bulb in 1880 and many other things; Franklin Delano Roosevelt ruled America as President from the wheel chair during the Great Depression and World War II; and Fanny Crosby produced great hymns in spite of her blindness. Even when no one gives you a chance to succeed in life, believe God and never give up. God will see you through.

1 Thessalonians 3:3
KJV: That no man should be moved by these afflictions: for yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto.

Amplified Version: That no one [of you] should be disturbed and beguiled and led astray by these afflictions and difficulties [to which I have referred]. For you yourselves know that this is [unavoidable in our position, and must be recognized as] our appointed lot.

Bloggers Review: its a popular saying that tough times don't last but tough people do. The Bible says that we can be trialed and tested but God will not allow them suffice us more than what we can handle. God's faithful that he'll see you through your tough times. So do not panic, don't be anxious but in everything pray to God as you ask Him for help and thank Him for His response in faith as though its settled. Then, a peace that surpass your understanding will take over the situation, that's scriptural.

GOD WILL SEE YOU THROUGH

Further Reading: Isaiah 43: 18-19

God cares for you, for us much more better than we can ever know with our tiny peanut brains. God's love!

A GLIMPSE OF HIS GRACE

-
"At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and the horse are cast into a dead sleep" (Psalm 76:6) Psalm 76:1-12 In 1863, former President Abraham Lincoln of the United States declared in a state address: “We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of heaven; we have been preserved these many years in peace and prosperity; we have grown in numbers, wealth, and power as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us, and we have vainly imagined, in deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of the redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us.” That was a sincere acknowledgement of God’s graciousness to America which hitherto placed its trust in H...

ABIDE IN CHRIST

-
Christ is everything we need. He is our Salvation, our Righteousness, our Love, our Joy, our Wisdom, our Power, our Victory, our Patience, our Life, and much more. Indeed, Christ is our all in all. Jesus Christ can be unto you of everything, so when you have Christ, you've it all. How do we experience these things?  We experience them as we abide in Christ. The Lord Jesus said, "Abide in Me, and I [will live out My life] in you." Our part is to abide in Him. His part is to do everything we need How do I abide in Christ? We abide in Christ by knowing we are in Christ: God Himself put us in Christ. Abiding in Christ is simply living in the truth of what God has done. One of the greatest secret of abiding in Christ is the deep conviction that we are nothing and Christ is everything. If we take the letter CHRIST away from the word CHRISTIAN, what do we have left?  You have IAN which stands for I Am Nothing. Our Lord said, "Apart from Me, you can do nothing." ...

WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED?

-
What must I do to be saved? (Acts 16:31) We are saved, not by doing good works or any work, but by believing on the Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible says, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved" (Acts 16:31) What does it mean to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ?  To answer this question, let us see the meaning of His name. LORD - This is His kingly name. God has made Him "Lord of all". Jesus Christ is over all things in God's universe. JESUS - This is His personal name. It means "Savior". He is our Savior, the Savior of the world - the One who died for our sins and rose from the grave to become our living Savior. CHRIST - This is His official name. It means that He is the "Anointed One". He is the One chosen and anointed by God as the promised Savior. Do you believe that Jesus Christ is the One Anointed by God to be your Savior? Do you believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins? This is a huge and very ...
