Has The Bible Transformed Your Life?

This is a great insight from Zondervan. I got laugh when I read this..

Has the Bible transformed your life? I heard about a converted cannibal on an island in the South Seas who was sitting by a large pot reading his Bible when an anthropologist wearing a pith helmet approached him and asked, "What are you doing?"

The native replied, "I'm reading the Bible." The anthropologist scoffed and said, "Don't you know that modern, civilized man has rejected that book? It's nothing but a pack of lies. You shouldn't waste your time reading it." The cannibal looked him over from head to toe and slowly replied, "Sir, if it weren't for this book, you'd be in that pot!"

The Word of God had changed his life — and his appetite. If you are serious about changing your life, you are going to have to get into the Bible. You need to read it, study it, memorize it, meditate on it, and apply it.

Slow But Sure

Sometime I realize that my journey with God has been slowly but sure. I don't always receive what I ask for. So often I have to wait for a long, long time. Sometime even I don't get anything or see anything as an evidence that God hears me. But through all of those experiences, I've been learning that God makes everything beautiful in His time. He does have the perfect timing for everything. Although I consider it's a bit too slowly for me, He still sticks to His plan.

Yeah.. life is hard, but I always have something good to hold on.

So sorry for not updating my blog. I always have 2 contrary sides in my life's journey. But I'm still in the process. Sometime I think that God has been grinding me, till I am broken. Probably not what's visible, but some invisible things inside me : my selfishness, my ego, my ambitions, sort of these things.

Yeah, I don't see the destination yet. The harbor still so away from me, but I feel surely that God has been leading me and always leads me, through this process, to prepare me for something greater than my life..

Just after I recognized the pattern God uses in me, I can think about noble things. I know God sees us in different ways, because we are unique and so different with each other. He works in me slowly but sure, but He still keeps His promises for me. For knowing this, I can stick to His promise just as He wants me to do.

How about you?
