Understanding God's Direction and Protection

-



"When you get what you want, that's God's direction. But when you don't get what you want, that's God's protection."


This quote has been attributed to various sources, but regardless of its origin, it speaks a powerful truth about faith and trust in a higher power. At its core, this quote suggests that sometimes the things we desire may not be what is best for us, and that sometimes, setbacks and disappointments can be blessings in disguise. 


The first part of the quote, "When you get what you want, that's God's direction," suggests that our desires and aspirations can at times be aligned with God's plan for us. When we achieve our goals or receive what we have been working towards, it can be seen as a sign that we are on the right path. The achievements can give us a sense of purpose, direction and fulfillment. 


However, the second part of the quote, "But when you don't get what you want, that's God's protection," reminds us that sometimes the things we desire may not be what is best for us on the long run. We may not see it at the time, but setbacks and disappointments can be blessings in disguise. They can redirect us towards a better path, protect us from unseen harm, or teach us important lessons that we need to learn.


It can be difficult to accept when things don't go our way, especially when we have been working very hard towards a particular goal or aspiration. We may feel frustrated, angry, resentful or depressed. But, if we can shift our perspective and see these setbacks as opportunities for growth and learning, we can find peace and acceptance in the midst of disappointments.


Conclusively, trusting in God's plan for us can be a bit challenging, especially when we don't understand why things are happening the way they are. But by cultivating a deeper faith and connection with a higher power (GOD), we can find comfort and guidance in times of uncertainties. We can pray for guidance and strength, and trust that God's plan for us is far greater than we want for ourselves.

Make Your Tears a Smile

Happiness comes at times to us, but sadness comes unbidden; Remember that amidst the smile, a few tears must drop If at times you feel you want to cry because life is such a trial, Remember that above the clouds, there is a bright blue sky Don’t give up If a friend have sadness written on their face Because trouble round them pile up; Remember that the world would be a better place to them if you smile and assure them that all will be well As you travel on life’s compulsory journey Filled with ups and down Remember that before a gold becomes the gold you so much admire, it went through fire So don’t give up because there is a light at the end of the tunnel When you keep aiming for something and all seems not to work according to your plans Remember that good things of life doesn’t come easily, make your effort worthwhile Make your tear a smile Smile is very cheap amongst the world’s expensive gift And you don’t know whose world you are lighting up with your s...

AIM LIKE THE SPIDER

I was sitting on the 13th floor alone Brooding about life, When a spider caught my attention. It climbed to the 13th floor and kept climbing even with the storm out there. It climbed back up every time it fell. Why does the spider climb so high? Striving to get to the top? Why is it is going that high? It probably thinks it can get a better catch up there; Or maybe it believes it can just keep going and going till it get there. Well, that’s what I chose to believe. The spider did not stop till it got to the final floor. Only a small thinker believes there is a particular height to be attained or a particular height is hard to be attained.  Never stop climbing till you get to the top. When you get to that top you have been aiming for, Aim for something greater than that top and never stop climbing Be like the spider and don’t hesitate to devour whatever challenges that may come your way Don’t give up Maiden Wura

Navigating Uncertainty Without a Timeframe

  The experience of waiting is an essential part of life, whether it's awaiting a response to a job application, anticipating medical test results, or hoping for a decision on a significant life event. The waiting period can feel endless, testing one's patience and resilience. This is what it's like when there's no timeframe for the waiting period. It's like being stuck in a never-ending loop of uncertainty. The main challenge of waiting without a timeframe stems from the uncertainty it creates. As humans, we naturally crave certainty and predictability, so when there's no clear deadline, it goes against our instincts. Waiting without a timeframe can have detrimental effects on mental and emotional well-being. The prolonged uncertainty and lack of closure can take a toll on one's mental health, leading to increased levels of stress, anxiety, hopelessness, frustration and even depression . It becomes increasingly challenging to maintain a positive outlook and...
