Many years ago, I would read my Bible but I won't get anything sensible from it apart from the stories and the do's and don'ts that were also resounding in family and school rules. Back in the university, especially in my first year, I used to wonder at those guys who spoke "jargon" that sounded high and spiritual and I kept on wondering if it isn't the same Bible that I've been reading. Well, I was like the Ethiopian Eunuch in Acts 8. Philip simply asked him, "Understandest thou what thou readest?" The Eunuch replied, "How can I, except some man should guide me?" (Acts 8:30-31)

About a month ago, I was seriously uneasy and I totally did not like being in God's will..Of course, I KNEW it was God's will for me but I just kept being obstinate about it. Now, before you judge me, trust me it wasn't easy. I could totally relate with Abraham when the Lord called him out of his hometown. We all think he jumped at the idea and just went hippity hop down the lane leading to only-God-knows-where right? I doubt. I'm sure there were moments when he just sat and thought it over and over again. There must have been some seemingly impossible moments. And of course, the subtle one, the devil must have whispered discouraging thoughts to him...but he (Abraham) kept right on going as the Lord led him daily.
