The Lord's Ways are Peculiar
My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways – Is 55:8 (NIV)”
The Lord heard my continuous, sincere and tearful prayers from the bottom of my heart for my wife to be saved. The miracles happened in getting the admission for my son in Zion School and the unbelievable miraculous escape of my daughter from the road accident had a telling impact on my wife’s faith and slowly she started to lean on Jesus. Her old idolatry faith and Hindu rituals started to rescind. In the meanwhile someone known to my wife had told her about the healing miracles happening in Chalakkudi Divine Retreat Centre in Kerala and she wanted to go there with my son. I opposed it saying that Jesus Christ is every where, not in Chalakkudi alone. He is omnipresent and can heal Karthi here also. But she was adamant. Any amount of my convincing and reasoning
could not change her insistence. Because of this, I felt a sort of restlessness and unhappiness creeping in our relationship and family. Hence, I just knelt down, prayed to the Lord and then took my wife and son to Chalakkudi. Her one week stay in the Retreat and absence of every possible contact with outside world through media and continuous prayers, worships, systematic well planned syllabus for giving powerful Gospel messages and the Word of God through various Bible scholars and Evangelists from morning 6 AM to 9 PM continuously without any break for one week really transformed my wife completely and strengthened her faith which otherwise would have taken more than one year to strengthen to that extent by attending regularly all the Sunday services in a church. The Lord does everything in his own way that we cannot understand but come to realize it only later. How rightly the Lord has told in the Bible that His ways are not ours and our thinking is not HHhhhhhhHis! Once we totally submit and surrender all our thinking, ways and actions to His Will, we need not worry about any thing at all. He takes care of every thing for us. TASTE AND SEE THAT THE LORD IS GOOD. BLESSED IS THE MAN WHO TRUSTS HIM (Ps 32:8)! After tasting His love, you will never leave Him. If you love Him, you will not leave Him: If you leave Him, you cannot love Him. Hallelujah!
