A question I ask myself sometimes is "What things am I missing out on without knowing?". Something in me is calling out for much more. When God created Eden, it was a lush garden paradise, a land of delight, there were all kinds of beautiful trees, so much gold, pearls, onyx, and lots more. It was so beautiful far beyond what we could imagine. God then placed Adam in this paradise and said "My good friend, I am handing this paradise over to you to manage, you can enjoy and manage as you see fit but do not eat from the tree of good and evil". And just like that, little old Adam was in charge of the most beautiful paradise. Now I notice Adam did not ask for this paradise. God just felt he needed this kind of paradise. God is like "This kind of paradise is the best for my little Adam". lolđ Adam did not ask for Eve too. God is like ...hmmm! " my little Adam seems bored and lonely, let's give him a nice surprise" The Lord God said, âIt is ...
Exodus 13:21 21And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so as to go by day and night. When the children of Israel were wandering in the desert, God led them by going before them in a pillar of cloud by day and pillar of fire by night. By day, God spread the pillar of cloud as a covering over His people in the desert to prevent the scorching sun from striking them down. The people were shaded and kept cool. Today, you are also under His covering. He will not allow you to be struck down (Psalm 121:3â8), nor be oppressed by the âheatâ of the day. (Isaiah 54:14) At night, when the desert became dark and cold, God gave His people the pillar of fire to light the way for them, as well as to keep them warm and safe. Today, as you walk with God, you will not be overwhelmed by the cold, dark places in life because Godâs Word says, âYou are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of...
Through investigations, dreams, and visions, Jesus asked me to forsake my Muslim family. " Allahu Akbar . I bear witness that there is no god but Allah. I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah." These are the first words of the Muslim call to prayer. They were also the first words ever spoken to me. Moments after I was born, I have been told, my father softly recited them in my ear, as his father had done for him, and as all my forefathers had done for their sons since the time of Muhammad. We are Qureshis, descendants of the Quresh tribeâMuhammad's tribe. Our family stood sentinel over Islamic tradition. The words my ancestors passed down to me were more than ritual: they came to define my life as a Muslim in the West. Every day I sat next to my mother as she taught me to recite the Qur'an in Arabic. Five times a day, I stood behind my father as he led our family in congregational prayer. By age 5, I had recited the entire Qur'an in Arabic and mem...
