Written by Noorul Hussain K.


WHO IS WORTHY TO BE WORSHIPPED? We see people worship different gods. When we all sharerepparttar same air,repparttar 139223 same water,repparttar 139224 same sunshine,repparttar 139225 same sustenance,repparttar 139226 same earth etc., how can our Creator, Sustainer, Sovereign, Lord and God be different? We must not forget that we have been provided withrepparttar 139227 faculties of reason and intellect. We employ it to succeed in worldly affairs and to solve worldly problems. Having used it, we have discovered innumerable things. Similarly, we must employrepparttar 139228 same i.e.repparttar 139229 faculties of reason and intellect to discoverrepparttar 139230 true and real God, to succeed in spiritual affairs and to solve spiritual problems.

CRUSHED HOPES AND DREAMS

CRUSHED HOPES AND DREAMS

Jeremiah 29 verse 11 "For I knowrepparttar thoughts that I think toward you, saithrepparttar 139131 LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end."

I have been servingrepparttar 139132 Lord for over 18 years. I am not just a Sunday church goer; I have a daily relationship with my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I rememberrepparttar 139133 dayrepparttar 139134 Lord called me aside, and said "I want you to work for me. I will be with you and I will use you in great ways." I said, "Lord, why don't you choose someone else, someone with more theological background and experience?" He replied, "I have chosen you and I will be with you." The next morning I awoke at 5:00 AM, andrepparttar 139135 Lord spoke to me and said, "Turn onrepparttar 139136 TV." I did, and there was Gomer , ofrepparttar 139137 Gomer Pyle TV show saying, "Don't choose me, choose someone more experienced." They chose him to be on a recruiting poster, and onrepparttar 139138 corner ofrepparttar 139139 recruiting picture of Gomer was an eye, Sergeant Carter's eye overlooking him. The Lord spoke to me through this and said, "Just like Sergeant Carter overlooking Gomer, my all seeing eye will be overlooking you."

Since that 1987 experience,repparttar 139140 Lord has used me in many ways. During this time, I have experienced many crushed hopes and dreams. Often, plans that I thought would work out, didn't. I've experiencedrepparttar 139141 hopelessness of poverty,repparttar 139142 stigma of rejection,repparttar 139143 burden of being a single parent,repparttar 139144 pain of loneliness, and more. I've had my share of sickness, and heartbreak of losing loved ones. I've been wounded besiderepparttar 139145 road, bruised, knocked down, shot at, cursed out, and falsely accused. I would have some mountaintop experiences and then things happened that brought me crashing torepparttar 139146 ground. I've had my seasons withrepparttar 139147 darkness of depression. I've stood silently by and watched others prosper and gain recognition while I floundered in hopeless circumstances. All of these trials caused me to turn to my Lord in prayer, searchrepparttar 139148 scriptures, and humbled me down to recognize without Him, I am nothing. I know that my Redeemer lives, and that he loves and cares for me.
