The Little ‘Abrahamic’ Journey (pt. 2)

.

Indeed, my life does feel like a little ‘Abrahamic’ journey, especially these past few weeks. As Abraham has to travel around due to many reasons, one of the countries were Egypt, because he was forced by the famine. And as he was asked politely to leave Egypt, me too. Just maybe, what I thought was my Canaan is actually my Egypt, that I need to go there because there’s a need to. Or maybe I should go around a bit more. I don’t know.. only God knows.

 

The Question of A Friend

“Pleasing others”. That was the phrase that caught my attention last Saturday. My immediate thought was relating it to the phrase,”… grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men” (Luke 2:52). And it seems that I was not alone, as another person’s immediate response was, “pleasing God as well”.

But the more I think about it, the trickier it becomes.
