Days of decision ...
Tuesday, May 12, 2015. Sometimes there are days of decision. It is good to know the center of life in such days. It is good to know him, the eternal God and saviour. We all know these days where decisions need to be made …
Decisions need to be made …
I remember the day I decided to study Mathematics. I had already been a Physics student - but some trouble brought me to the point: this needs action. And I chose: I subscribed myself into mathematics, on top of physics. I did a PhD in math, a habilitation, became Lecturer, Reader and Professor of Mathematics. Days of decisions can be important in the long run.
Still, when you are at the point of decision, things can be unclear. Of course you do not know the future. You could be dead tomorrow, due to some stupid accident or incident. Our life is weak, threatened, every moment. But nevertheless there are these points of decision. When things need to be moved forward. When it cannot stay as it is, but things need to change.
What is our center point and focus in our time of decision. For me, it is the Lord, the eternal God, his son Christ Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, the wonderful Counselor. They know me, better than I know myself, and that is good. Listen …
Too wonderful …
1 To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. O Lord, you have searched me and known me! 2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar. 3 You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. 4 Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O Lord, you know it altogether. 5 You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me. 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high; I cannot attain it. 7 Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence? 8 If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there! 9 If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, 10 even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me. (Psalm 139, 1-10)
I can fully go with this song, with this prayer. It is good to know the Lord. And he will have a path for us to go, some place for us to place our head to get rest, some food for us to eat. I let things go and see where he leads us, me and my family. (RWEP) ... more texts
