THE LORDS INSTRUCTIONS!
Paul Dhinakaran
My dearly Beloved
In this fast-moving world, who likes to be instructed? We have no time to lend a ear to anyones cry let alone take counsel of our elders. Teaching which once headed the list of professions has lost its standing. Parents have given up instructing their children because children are on their own trip and have their own ideas about life. Where has the value of good counsel and instruction gone then?
When Jesus took the form of a human being and came into this world, He lived a normal, ordinary life like us. But He obeyed His earthly parents, worked as a carpenter like His earthly father and followed the instructions of His parents. Most of all He prayed for counsel and direction from His heavenly Father every day. The result, He achieved every task He set out to do. He came as one who had nothing and at the same time He could bring everything and anything that people needed in their lives. He could fulfill all our needs. Today too He has not stopped working and blesses us.
Here is a story of an incident that happened when I was a little boy. On my birthday, the Lord God spoke to me through the spiritual gift He had endowed my father with. He said, "Paul, I place before you two different paths in this world. One is the path of a fish. The other in the path of a crab. You might have watched a fish moving straight in the water and a crab tracing a crooked path on the sand on the seashore. I place these two paths before you. Which of these are you going to choose in your life? If you go by the straight path of the fish I would bless you. But if you prefer the crooked path of the crab, I cannot help you."
Beloved ones, on this earth there are two kinds of paths that are set before us. The trials and tribulations we face in this world open the door to a crooked path. If we fall to the temptation on the crooked way, our portion will be suffering and we will miss the presence of God and His blessings. However, if we commit ourselves and our lives to Jesus Christ, He will make the crooked path straight. He will transform you into His likeness and bless you. Your life will be pleasant and prosperous. Let us then surrender ourselves to Jesus and His presence will go before us always.
Prayer
Loving heavenly Father
I have always chosen the easy way in my life and messed it up. Today, Father I surrender myself into Your mighty hands and ask You to change my life. Let every crooked way in my life be straightened by You. Lord, keep me away from every temptation and deliver me from the hands of the evil one. Make me Yours forever and let Your presence go before me always. Thank You for loving me so much. Bless You Lord!
In Jesus name
Amen!
