The hitchhiker

The LORD has said concerning you, Know certainly that I have admonished you this day!"

Today, if you will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.
Jeremiah 42:19; Hebrews 4:7.

The hitchhiker
Some years ago an incident in an Alpine town showed how God goes after individuals to bring them back to Himself.

A Christian stopped on the way to the station to pick up a hitchhiker. During the five minute journey he found the courage to speaker to the tourist about the vital subject of our life: "Do you believe in God?"

The hitchhiker's reaction showed the driver that he had touched a sensitive point. It was not the kind of offensive allergic reaction when God is mentioned, but rather the very opposite.

The man, who was from the far north, explained to the surprised driver, "Somebody has just given me this New Testament, and I prayed silently, â€˜God, if you really exist, then get me to the station in time'. And not only can I catch my train, but I am asked about God!"

There are such moments in a person's life, moments in which we sense that God is speaking to our heart. Then we have to decide: shall we listen to Him and take note of what he says to us? Or would we prefer continuing to decide how we lead our own life?

Today God has again "admonished" readers. Everyone should stop in his tracks and consider his relationship to God. Then the vital decision must be made.

Today's reading: 1 Chronicles 12:1-19 Â· Psalms 85:1-13

And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the...More

EVERYONE NEEDS A MIRACLE

Some years ago, I was invited to be the guest speaker at a garden party in an exclusive, highbrow residential area. Because I arrived at the venue quite early, I was made to sit for a while in the house of my host. The house was an exquisite parade of wealth and splendour. I had never seen such brazen display of...More

PRAY UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS

The bankruptcy that saves

None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him - for the redemption of their souls is costly, and it shall cease for ever.

You were not redeemed with silver or gold from your aimless conduct but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and...More
