God’s
Leading
No Wonder
”No wonder you haven’t been answering
my pages. You’ve wearing your garage-door opener!”
The Reason of Wandering
Question: Why did Moses wander in the
desert for 40 years?
Answer:
Because, even then, men wouldn’t stop and ask for directions.
Adversity
In his book Mere
Christianity. C.S. Lewis likened God’s use of adversity to walking a dog. If
the dog gets its leash wrapped around a pole and ties to continue running
forward, he will only tighten the leash more. Both the dog and the owner are
after the same end, forward motion, but the owner must resist the dog by
pulling him opposite the direction he wants to go. The master, sharing the same
intention, but understanding better than the dog where he really wants to go,
takes and action precisely opposite to that of the dog’s will. It is in this
way that God uses adversity. ── Michael P. Green《Illustrations
