Trusting God through every season, prayer, and the daily walk of worship.
Wisdom and knowledge like oxygen are only useful when it’s enough. More oxygen can kill. More oxygen than you need doesn’t improve life or make it better. More oxygen can’t prevent death. You just need enough oxygen to survive while life itself sustained by God. You just need enough wisdom and knowledge to survive while we surrender the rest to God. More wisdom more knowledge is very dangerous!
An endless supply of what we need is a great goal to work towards. However, we live in a world of scarce resources and unlimited needs.

Do these for an endless supply!

How far have you gone from God? He can still restore you. He tells Israelites that it doesn’t matter how far scattered they are, if they repent, it will be His business to bring them back, Nehemiah 1:9. Fix yours and I will fix anything!

To accept and move on, is bringing an end to a bad experience. Deliberately choosing to forgive an ill. To reconcile with a bad situation. What are the situations that need us to accept and move on? How does God accept and move on? Did God really accept and moved on? This is based on a short text in the Bible whose casual reading shows nothing until you dig deeper and discover the weight. Read this text again. Did God accept and move on?
It is very sad to know that there are people who derive pleasure in provoking others. There are people who you will try avoiding in order to have peace but they will seek you to provoke you. You will be provoked not because of what you have done or said but because of who the other person is- evil. Scripture will let us know how to deal with repeated provocation.
How does God recover lost time? Does God lose time? Does God run late? Does God delay? Does God have a problem with time? Can we trust God to keep time or we develop other plans, incase He delays?
