Lastly, I have immerse faith in God and that is also my guiding light. In moments where my words or rationale are not enough I rely on the word of God which surpasses all understand to keep my heart and mind at peace.
Many years ago, I read an interesting book titled Cat and Dog Theology.
The book is a serious look at Scripture from the perspective of a somewhat silly joke.
Here’s the joke:
the dog says, “You feed me, you shelter me, you pet me, you love me. You must be God.”
the cat says, “ You feed me, you shelter me, you pet me, you love me. I must be God.”
The point of the book is that God wants us to respond to Him the way a dog would rather than the way a cat would.
The authors make an interesting observation in the book. Prior to the Israelites’ deliverance from Egypt, they had been enslaved there for 400 years.
In other words, ten generations of Israelites endured slavery so that God could miraculously deliver their descendants.
That should put any “light and momentary troubles” (2 Cor 4:17) we might be facing into perspective.
I was having this conversation with my mum yesterday about how highly we humans think of ourselves. In the grand scheme of things God dictates everyone or at least oversees it all and the best we can ask for (most times) is to align with his will. I have my doubts and fears but I still hold on to God to guide my steps and I need that reassurance more than whatever I can observe in the physical world.
