Reflections

"Ask Me and I will tell you remarkable things you do not know about..." (Jeremiah 33:3)

In chapter 3 of Professor Sparrow, the American history professor gives a student a riddle and a promise: solve the riddle (which no one has in forty years) and get an A+ for the semester. The riddle:

"From times gone by

A mystery lies,

A secret to unveil.

Be swift, my soul,

Be brave and bold

To comfort her travail.

Be jubilant feet

To run and seek,

The story never told.

The truth that hides

From modern eyes

Of ones so brave and bold."

At the end of each chapter is a REFLECTIONS page. Under POINTS TO PONDER, I asked, "How do you think Mark (the student) felt when Prof. Sparrow gave him the riddle?" (Answer: confused or puzzled.) 

Under WHAT DOES GOD SAY, I wrote James 1:5: "If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and He will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking."

Under LIVE WHAT YOU LEARN, I asked if the reader needed wisdom about something in their life and encouraged them to ask God now for His wisdom and understanding.

Has life got you puzzled, beloved? Ask God NOW for His wisdom and understanding and then live what you learn!
