My driver’s love and divorce testimony – Life and death in the tongue

~ Mr. Streetz ~ 1 Comment

I was traveling recently and got into a discussion with my elderly driver. He’s driven me so many times before but I’ve never really had a personal discussion with him until today. It started with me asking about his plans for Christmas, to which he responded that he would be spending it with his children. I then enquired about his wife. The answer to this question led to one of the most inspiring faith stories I’ve heard in a while. I also learnt some important life lessons from a 62-yr old about the power of our words when young in shaping our life. I hope it encourages you.

What is Faith?

Every now and then, I have the strong urge to write a particular post which refuses to leave my mind even after many days of ignoring it. This is one such post. What is faith?

God wants to give you “a future and a hope”

Jeremiah 29:11 says God wants to “give us a future and a hope (i.e. an expected end - KJV)”. 🤔💭 Trying to make sense of this I noticed that NKJV/NLT equate KJV’s “expected end” with “a future and a hope”. But why, what could these mean? There is surely an end i.e. a future that God has planned for us, but God gives it to us through hope. The future and hope come hand in hand, like the fist to a glove. It is an end that we actively expect, a future that we hope towards. God gives this hope to us. He puts visions of the future He desires for us into our heart and wants us to hope, long and work towards it. This is corroborated in Phillipians 2:13, which tells us that when we walk with God, the desires of our heart and our resulting actions are of Him. Faith’s definition in itself is substantiated in hope (Heb 11:1).

How big is your faith when you come to God?

Have you ever sometimes felt like asking God for just a little so that you don’t get disappointed? Ever felt like you shouldn’t be asking God for much so you’re not seen as greedy? 🤥😒 This is unfortunately the case with many Christians. It’s usually easy to say “believe God for the impossible” but because we can’t see God physically and can’t bear the thought of dealing with seeming uncertainty, we often remain at our level and keep asking for just enough to get by. Is this Biblical?
