THOUGHTS and STORIES
My purpose in writing this is to share with you thoughts and stories about how God has led me through my whole life, guided me in specific situations throughout my life, and protected me in some very special circumstances. This will be shared in Sections 1, 2 and 3. I would like you, my reader, to ponder your own life, and understand and see how God has also been doing that for you in your life. Know that He knew you before you were born, that He has been watching over you throughout your life, and that He guides and protects you also as you give your life to Him and become His child. Psalm 139:13, 15 says: “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb...My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place.”
In Appendix A, I list the translations used for the Scripture references. Then I list Scriptures regarding spiritual armor, heaven and hell, judgment, protection, and forgiveness. I also give a section of recommended verses to memorize. It tells us in Psalm 119:11 “I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.” As we study the Word of God and come to know His way of thinking, we can come closer to Him and become more like Him. In Proverbs 4:20, 22 we are told some significant words: ‘Listen closely to my words...for they are life to those who find them.” So I encourage you to listen closely to His words. They are sprinkled throughout this book. They are very significant!
In this book series I share with you my “Spiritual Journey” and encourage you to see your life also as a “Spiritual Journey”. The steps of this journey are explained in Appendix B, along with other helps to disciple you along the way. You will also find in Appendix B how to commit your life to Christ, how to have a daily quiet time, some possible Bible reading plans, information about spiritual armor for protection, and some Scriptures about who I am (and you are) in Christ.
In Appendix C, I mention authors of books that have been meaningful for me to read, knowing I surely can’t remember all the great books I have been privileged to read over the years. I try to suggest 1 or 2 books by some of my favorite authors, and you can see if you like those authors too... and look for more of their books if you do. I have learned a lot by reading other people’s “thoughts and stories” as I hope you are encouraged by reading mine.
