Wrong Way

Today my reflection took from Exodus 3 : 1-6. The chapter told about Moses that called by God. Moses is a shepherd. When he done his work, he went to the wrong way/street. He went to A God Mountain. He meat God in the desert. As Moses, Henri Dunant went to Paris to meet Napoleon. But because napoleon was not there, he meat Napoleon in the battle field , Italy which not his purpose firstly. He took the wrong way. But in that journey, he known everything about the battle in Italy. Because of that he built red cross to help people in battle field. He built it because he felt, he might to help all people.

Now, we are as Jesus follower, are there anything else in our wrong way which we are be called by God to serve His in this life? Maybe in this life we had all plan or schedule that must be do. That is all right, but if we do some things , out of our schedule, we have not to be panic or frightened. We have to do all things in this life because as Jesus follower where ever we go, Jesus are near us and we certain Bless by God. Amen.

Awry

My place began cold in the morning. I think this year winter will come fast. In autumn my mountain in front of my apartment is beautiful. The color of the leaf is became changed. Motley of leaf are mingled in that mountain. Japanese call it "koyo". Very beautiful.

Today my reflection took from Exodus 14 : 9 - 14. The chapter told about the
exceedingly frightened of Israel when Egyptians chase them. Sometime we are awry when big problem came to us. We do not knew how to solve that problem. In the other word when we want to do something but it is wrong conversely when we run from that problem, it is wrong too. long time ago Japanese choose suicide as a short way. But we as Jesus follower will not do that. we believe that Jesus can do anything. Nothing impossible in Jesus, is not it?

Big problem can be happen all in our life. In our family, in our activity, in our job. But as Moses said "
Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will show to you to day". That you be strong after hear that?I hope we can try this step.
  1. The first step is "not be fear". The fear can not solve the problem.
  2. Stand still in faith of Jesus. Sometime people choose the short way to solve that problem without thinking firstly.
  3. We have to surrender our life and our self to Jesus. We can solve that problem alone. We only say it with our pray to Jesus. Because there is not other way.



The Lord opened the way when the way is dark
