Its’ Not An Easy Road - Christian Illustration

I have a friend who’s trying to find through the fog of doubt. While he still believes that God is good, much of what he’s experiencing seems to contradict that. He’s questioning the value of virtue because he sees another person’s vice on go unfinished. Although he knows that he ought to enjoy his walk with God, right now it’s more duty than delight.

I also have an acquaintance that seems to be trying to hold on to God with one hand while clutching her sins in the other. To anyone who’s questioning the value of walking with God, I would reply: saying no to selfish choices and saying yes to Gods commands may not be easy, but it’s the only way to experience true and lasting joy.

Psalm 112 declares the person who respects God and wants to please Him will enjoy his favor. The doesn’t guarantee a trouble free life, of course, but it does assure us that we can have peace even in the tough times.

We can delight in knowing God’s blessing is on us, even when the road is not easy.

"Walk, Don’t Run" on the corridors

When I was in high school my teachers always get mad in us whenever we run off the corridors. They get mad whenever we run because we’re in rush or just plain playing. Whenever me and my other friends run on the corridors we always get tired and we take a rest laughing at the discipline officer and say sorry. One day when I was on the forth floor of our building the president of the Science Club said that our adviser in the club needs me in an urgent meeting, so I ran off the corridors and stairs then on my way we bump on each other and I fell on the stairs. Then the next thing I remember is that I was on the clinic lying. My head really aches and I had so many scars. The nurse said that I should not run on the corridors and stairs because it’s too dangerous for me. Then I was lying on the bed thinking what had happened I realized that I should obey the rules, this is what I get from being stubborn, and hard headed. And I also remember those times that I ran away from God’s will and plan. It’s like running on the corridors you will always get tired of running and for worst get hurt, you will always get tired of running. God is powerful He can do everything. He knows what’s good for us and what we need. He will not do anything that will cause us to hurt, he loves us that’s why he prepares the right path for us. Now as being child of God we should be walking not running on his will, if he says this so it coz that is good. Now I will not try to run after what happened to me. I will walk on the corridors and stairs for my safety and I will walk through God’s will for his glory. I will not run anymore.
