“Blessed [with spiritual security] is the man who believes and trusts in and relies on the Lord
And whose hope and confident expectation is the Lord.”
Jeremiah:17:7
There was a man who did not believe in God; he did not believe that Jesus could help him in his life, so he thought his life was in his hands and he is the master/ruler to his life.
But his wife used to tell him about Jesus Christ and she told him “God would surely help you,” but he rejected whatever his wife told him.
Once he was walking through a dense forest, suddenly he sensed that someone was behind him, so when he turned back, he saw a bear standing ferociously to have him as his dinner.
Immediately, out of fear the man shouted, “Oh, God Jesus please help me.”
Well, this happened unknowingly.
But, suddenly everything became still and Jesus Christ appeared before this man.
Jesus said, “My son, do you believe me that I can save your life from this bear”.
Some cunning thought came to this man(If I would ask Jesus to help me, what will happen to me, I have been saying there is no God, so let us ask him to change the bear to a christian bear, so that it will not harm me)
He said, Jesus I don’t need your help, I can help myself, but change this bear as a christian bear.
So, Jesus said, “I will do it” then he disappeared.
So, this man turned to see what happened to the bear.
The bear knelt down and closed his eyes, joined his hands and prayed “Lord Jesus, thank you for this dinner, Amen.”
My friends, let not the pride stand against God; God is real, we cannot neglect his presence
Do not say there is no God
Bible says in,
Psalm 14:1 Amplified Bible (AMP)
Folly and Wickedness of Men.
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
1 The [spiritually ignorant] fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”
They are corrupt, they have committed repulsive and unspeakable deeds;
There is no one who does good.
God is good all the times, if you surely believe in him and ask his forgiveness and help; He will do it .
Acts:17
27 This was so that they would seek God, if perhaps they might grasp for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us.
28 For in Him we live and move and exist [that is, in Him we actually have our being], as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we also are His children.’
Once there lived a doctor named George, he was serving the poor in a village, he loved to serve them, he was really sincere; He had a friend named Stephen who believes in Christ Jesus; they both were best friends.
Stephen used to speak about God’s love to George, but many times George rejected it, sometimes he listened for his friend’s satisfaction.
One day, Stephen talked about Jesus to George, George could not control himself, so he busted at his friend and told him he should never speak about Jesus to him
Many days later, Stephen came to George and said My friend, I am not here to make you angry, but let me say a bible verse to you,
“Call on Me in the day of trouble;
I will rescue you, and you shall honor and glorify Me.”
If you have any problem or trouble call Jesus He will surely help you.
George said, I don’t need it, I can take care of myself.
Many months later, there was a knock at Dr.George door; it was midnight and raining heavily.
When he opened his door, he saw a small girl child standing shivering in the chillness of the rain.
So, Dr.George called her inside and asked her why she knocked the door.
The girl said her mother was ill, so she came to buy some medicine; but she did not know the shop and since it was raining, she came to his home.
Dr.George, gave her a bottle of medicine and said be careful while going to home.
Then he locked the door; and went to have some water; it was then he noticed, that he had given her a wrong bottle, and it was a harmful medicine for that child’s mother; so he was really in a great trouble.
He did not know what to do; he went to the street to search the child, but it was vain because George did not know which direction the girl went.
So, he came to his room and cried and cried and cried.
Suddenly, he remembered the verse his friend Stephen told him, so he said
Lord Jesus I do not know how to pray but my friend has told me to tell this verse and pray,
“Call on Me in the day of trouble;
I will rescue you, and you shall honor and glorify Me.”
please help me; I cannot do anything now.
Please help me Lord.
Now, he again heard the knock at his door; Dr.George felt like many people would be standing there, to beat him and kill him ; then he opened the door , he saw that, girl child was standing there again, but she was crying miserably.
Dr.George, asked what happened?Did you gave that medicine to your mother?
The child told Doctor; when I was about to reach my home, I fell down hitting a stone and the bottle of medicine that, you gave me was broken, Please Dr. give me another medicine.
She cried.
Dr.George cannot withstand his joy, he said, “come on, I will come with you now and give the medicine by myself.”
Then He praised Jesus and accepted that he is God.
My friend God is real and he can be trusted!!!
