Proclaiming one's Faith

 

Look folks, I find it difficult writing these posts without sounding preachy, holier than thou, and often repetitive. This is predominantly a Christian Blog and from time to time I feel it necessary to write something about God' Good News. In effect, this Blog is an extension, or a sequel, to a radio program I used to present called "Time For Reflections".

The fact that it is sometimes repetitive is because there's only one message from God. And it is worth repeating. If I were to change it, or add my gloss on it, then it would not be God's Good News but something else totally wrong.

If you are honest with yourself, and look back on your life, there will be at least one event or situation where God intervened for the good in your life. Think about it. There's been an occasion or more where you made a decision, or something happened, that changed the course of your life. That's when God was there for you.

No matter who you are, whether you are a Christian or not, whether you believe in God or not; the reality is that He was there for you when you needed Him most; whether you realise it or not.

It is important to remember such events because they will sustain us in future when we meet with other obstacles which may challenge or dent our Faith. It is when we are tired and weak that the devil steps in to tempt us away from God and to derail our Faith in Him. These are the times to remember past events when He saved us from dire situations.

We've all had difficult times in life. I know I've had quite a few. As well as marking them as beacons of God's loving interventions we should also use them as an opportunity to proclaim His eternal love for us in our lives. Our witness may well be the trigger for someone else to be led to believe.
