Silent Time

What has been the reason for people being enthusiastic about Jesus?

Just the expectation of one or the other miracle?

How do we make a good use of our resources?

What is the best possible usage of our time, energy, possessions and creativity?

Whom have you last looked down on?

Everyone has weaknesses but instead of judging others, let’s rather pray for them.

We all can learn a lot from thinking about that.

To be on the top of the mountain is nice – both literally when having been hiking or climbing up and enjoy the view, as well as in a transferred sense when things go well in life.

But just few days later things might look totally different when being back to work, having too much to do, worries about the future, pains and by other things the devil might try to torment us. Despite all the challenges, we do not need to remain in the valley.

What are the major difficulties in your life? 

Once identified, the next question is: who can overcome them?

Different kinds of wisdom – different kinds of criteria:

The holy, almighty creator God has an eternal view that often differs from our human ideas in several regards. And his grace is beyond what we can imagine.

Struggles, trials and challenges in the mind - and how to handle them.

Even throughout the darkest hour the best friend we can imagine offers to be with us and to help.

Do you tell to God how to help?

It is funny that we with our limited human short term view try to tell the eternal, all-knowing creator God in which way to intervene. The Lord has higher longer term plans, many of which we cannot understand yet. So let's humbly listen to what God tells us via our circumstances, the way things go on in life.

Nevertheless, for sure it is good to turn to the Lord in all situations, with all our wishes, prayer requests, intercessions, but also with regrets, thanks and praise.

Despite the flood of evil going on in the world seems to be overwhelming, yet, on a small scale, good positive things have started already.
