MUD, SWEAT AND TEARS by Bear Grills

Finished reading the book borrowed from the library.

ONE OF THE THINGS HE WOULD MOST LIKE TO DO IS TO GIVE THANKS TO CHRIST, TELLS BEAR GRILLS READER’S DIGEST. (Reader’s Digest, September 2011)

What do you know about God?

In her book THE PASTOR’S WIFE, Sabina Wurmbrand tells the story of a boy standing at the beach and waving to a ship on the ocean. That steamer will not change its course  because of the waving of the little boy, thinks a man who observes all that. He had hardly told the boy how silly he was, when the steamer changed its course and picked up the boy at his side.

While the steamer took off the boy stood on the bridge and with his loudest voice called to the man at the beach that he was not a fool and that the captain was his father.

In the last sentence of the book the author says that we know two things about God who steers the universe on its course:

We don’t only know that God is our Father, but that He also hears our prayers.

“THE WORLD …”

The Bible says:

“DO NOT LOVE THE WORLD OR ANYTHING IN THE WORLD. IF ANYONE LOVES THE WORLD, THE LOVE OF THE FATHER IS NOT IN HIM.” – First John 2:15

“Then Moses said to him, ‘If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here.'” – Exodus 33:15
