A Phone Conversation...

I got a call from one of my dear friends yesterday, network providers are more  liberal these days and have been giving freebies that we have thought could only happen in some dreams, but there we were conversing on the benefit of free call credit in plenty. 

We are friends who keep in touch so it was not catching up on old times, we talked extensively till we began talking about our dreams, goals and the fears we had. What we expected to have happened and the milestones we hope to reach in the nearest future and it seemed like it’s not happening any soon. How we try to make things work and they just don’t, and so on.

Then it was one of those moments of saying what I didn’t cram, copy, or rehearse to say, but it’s making a lot of sense to the listener and in fact dissolving fears and doubt. What are such moments called? :-?

Some people have the absolute ideology that ‘life is deliberate’ and some that ‘life is predestined’. Which one do you hold? And why? Then I tell you what I told my friend.

I believe both, because all our live events can’t be attributed to just one of these ideologies. I live life in preparation and in predestination. I’m going to live in the moment and live in tomorrow. So when the opportunities come I grab them because I’m prepared to. When it does not come I’d still live.

Contrary to humanistic propositions we can’t always control what happens to us. We do have choices, but not everything in our lives would answer to them. So what happens when we are being deliberate about life and walking every walk by faith and our answers are not anywhere around the corner?

So when it seems like you were so sure by now that God would have reached down and wiped your tears away, stepped in saved the day and it’s not looking like it. Then you can’t even hear his voice through the thunder, do something, praise him in the storm and ask for his mercies that are new every morning to prevail.
