Casual Articles - Our Compensating God!
Who doesn’t want to have a beautiful home? We always wish for a nice home with all modern amenities and we leave no stone unturned to fructify that objective. And then at times we fall into the pit of adverse credit history. But this does not mean all your dreams are shattered. With the advancement of time things have consequently changed for good.You can still owe your dream world as there are many lenders who provide mortgaging services. They are many lenders who are least bothered about your credit record. It’s an opportunity for the First Time Buyers also to buy their dream home. They should simply forget about their poor credit record.The first time buyer has benefits of paying low rate of interest and they can also enjoy making small monthly payments. At the beginning the borrower is required to pay a little amount, while the rest of the loan amount is forwarded by the lender.The home acts like as collateral for the lender. It should be noted here, if you fail to make repayments to the lender, he can repos
*** "The Lord sustains all who fall, and raises up all who are bowed down" (Psalm 145:14); "The Lord is the One who holds his hand" (Psalm 37:24b); "Like a shepherd He will tend His flock, in His arm He will gather the lambs, and carry them in His bosom" (Isaiah 40:11). How can our heart remain cold and so indifferent when we read--and know from experience --of the tenderness of our all-mighty God who loves that much! Jesus fell from weakness on the way to His death, so He knows about that, too. We are bowed down by infirmities of body, mind and spirit, but our caring God, with wounded hand, lifts us to His summit of holy wholeness.
*** Years ago Leslie D. Weatherhead gave five talks on the will of God and they were made into a remarkable little book, The Will of God. In essence the book says that nothing falls outside the circle of Divine Providence: 1) the knowledge of God embraces it; 2) His power is sovereign over it; 3) His mercy holds it, creatively. The key is God's goodness. The parent does not will evil for the child; neither does God ever will evil for His children. We are subject to this good will which is never a capricious humor on God's part--never! Our part is to surrender to this good will: "Nevertheless, Your will, O God!"

A probation period is a clause that employers typically include when extending a job offer to a new staff member.In my experience, the probation period is usually 3 months or 6 months in length although it could be longer. In most cases I’ve seen, a 3-month probation period is fairly standard.What does it mean to you in practice?Depending on local employment laws and policies of the company in question, the probation period is typically used to protect the employer if they hire someone who doesn’t work out as planned and they need to terminate the person.Typically, it usually means that the employer can terminate a new employee within the probation period with or without cause.It can also mean that certain things such as company medical benefits don’t kick in until the probation period is over.This can cause a bit of trouble if you rely on medical benefits – especially if you have a family – and are worried about leaving your current employer where you have paid medical benefits and are thinking about moving to a company where you’ll have to wait several months for the medical bene
*** "God shall wipe away all tears" (Revelation 21:4). He shall gently brush them away with His own tears of empathy and sorrow. He is the Father of mercies and the God of comfort. The promise is that God shall, not that He simply may, erase the griefs that grip mind and heart and cause us to weep. The stings of death, the words that kill love, friendships gone sour, hopes that die, dreams that fade into some dark hole: these will be wiped away with a new beginning, for our robes have been washed in tears (Revelation 22:14) and we have a right to claim our inheritance as God's heirs. This is one of God's wills for us!
*** "God is not so unjust as to forget your work..." (Hebrews 6:10). The discouraged need to know that God observes good works. His inspections take in the good as well as the bad. Any worthy parent knows that the child who is constantly harangued about his or her shortcomings will never give the best, and understandably so, for the child knows that the best will never satisfy simply because the parent is looking for the worst. How terribly sad! Let us remember that God's inspection considers the good things we do in relation to our capacities and our possibilities. He calls that very good that which we think much below our standard.
*** "Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind..." (Job 38:1). Then--when his friends had spoken their broken pieces, when Job was at wit's end and had vented his grief and his utter despair at this God who was out to get him...then God spoke His Word to Job. God does not mistime any of His visits, whether for mercy or for judgment. Sometimes He has to come in a storm for us to notice the importance of the lesson He has for us. He does not come to crush or overwhelm us, but to make sense of our perplexing problem: "Come now," He implores, "let us reason together" (Isaiah 1:18). We are not alone in any storm of life.
*** In Revelation 3:20 Jesus is presented as the guest of our heart: "Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him, and will dine with him, and he with Me." Our Jesus can't become any more human than fellowshipping with us at the table! Come and dine on My heavenly bread of comfort. In His great I AM's, He tells us I AM that bread of life" (John 6:48); I AM the Staff of Consolation on which you can lean; I AM the Bread which you can eat to gain strength; I AM the Good Shepherd who will lead you through your valley; I AM your very present help in this time of trouble.
*** "He drew me out of many waters" (Psalm 18:16b). "And...Israel went through the midst of the sea on the dry land, and the waters were like a wall to them on their right hand and on their left" (Exodus 14:22). All finally have a Red Sea experience. What matters is, do we drown or do we forge ahead? "Why are you crying out to Me?...Go forward" v.15. "And the Lord swept the sea back...so the waters were divided" v.21. Our duty is to believe that God will keep His promises of a dry land while we go through the waters of affliction! The waters become walls of protection, as God brings us through on the dry land and on to deliverance.
*** "He...was...asleep...; and they awoke Him and said to Him, ‘Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?’" (Mark 4:38). Many a weary and grieving soul has cried this! The storms are sudden and devastating. Is God sleeping through our turmoil? It is a cry of faith that knows the Master can save us, and non-faith, for we ask if He will save us. We sleep through each others' Gethsemane moments, just as the disciples slept through Jesus' agony: "You...could not keep watch with Me for one hour?" (Matthew 26:40). When our ship seems to be sinking, we must remember that our extremity is God's opportunity to show His love.
*** "But the centurion. . .commanded that they which could swim should cast themselves. . .into the sea, and get to land: and the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the ship" (Acts 27:43,44). There are several worthwhile lessons here: 1) our plans and purposes may break up instantly, like this ship; 2) sudden changes may be for our good; 3) our helplessness calls forth others' sympathy and aid; 4) in disaster earthly possessions lose their value; 5) the means of salvation can hinge on little things: broken pieces and people that we did not value enough; and 6) we can break on sunken rocks of unbelief and neglect!
*** "...When a diamond is found it is rough and dark like a common pebble. It takes a long time to polish it, and it is very hard work. It is held by means of a piece of metal close to the surface of a large wheel, which is kept going round. Fine diamond dust is put on this wheel, nothing else being hard enough to polish the diamond. And this work is kept on for months and sometimes several years before it is finished. If the diamond is intended for a king, then the greater time and trouble are spent upon it" (Old Testament Anecdotes). Jesus is polishing His jewels with fine diamond dust of trials to make them beautiful.

If you run a small professional business like I do, the question of “How To Win New Business” is always at the top of your mind.You cannot grow and prosper as an Accountant, an Attorney, a Dentist, Consultant, Designer, Trainer or a Coach unless you consistently win new clients.This got me thinking about how you tempt prospective clients. How you get them interested in your services.When I was a small boy I lived in a house beside a river. It was quite natural that I took an interest in fishing.It didn’t take long to work out that a naked hook never caught a fish. So I developed a keen interest in baits.There was a damp patch in a nearby apple orchard which was good for worms. And maggots liked the compost heap. Stale bread never got thrown out in our house. I would moisten it in cold water and sprinkle it over the surface of my fishing ground to attract the fish.But it was a waste of time throwing bait into the fast flowing stream. That was where the salmon ran and I couldn’t afford the lures for such big fish. I had to cast my line into the quiet backwaters where the mighty salmon’s poo

Have you ever happened onto an online forum and read some of the threads and posts and thought that they were too attacking? Did it turn you off and make you want to not participate, perhaps you read a bit and then clicked out? Well then, you are not alone; this happens even on scientific, innovation and industry forums. Often you will have an interesting topic and the subject degrades into personal attacks, it is a lot like politics on TV and the tit-for-tat sound and fury, which is so prevalent in our species.Often you will notice that the parties discussing such topics will have discussed many cross-over uses or innovative theories on a concept or subject. Sometimes they end up superceding the known definitions of the subject and start arguing over points of contention of analogies and definitions or descriptions. You keep reading as the topic is fascinating yet once you start to reach the end you realize you have basically been reading 25 pages of BS semantics and are no where near getting to the bottom of the subject or original topic; why does this happen? Well it has a lot to do with the human mind; you see any huma

The simple answer to this question is yes, no and maybe. Well, maybe it is not such a simple answer because it is a particularly loaded question. The subject of outsourcing is a very sensitive issue for many. There are some who believe that outsourcing, whether it is overseas or domestic, is taking jobs away from qualified individuals while others who are profiting from outsourcing are firm advocates for the practice. This article will take a look at outsourcing and will examine scenarios when quality is compromised as well as scenarios when quality is not compromised.First of all, what is Outsourcing?For those who are confused about what outsourcing entails, this section will explain the issue. In its most basic form, outsourcing is employing an individual outside of the work organization to perform specific tasks for monetary compensation. Outsourcing can be done on a per project basis, for a set period of time or on an ongoing basis for an undetermined period of time. Another term you may be familiar with is consulting. You may use a consultant, or expert, in a particular area to perform a task or project on you

*** "I know whom I have believed and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day" (2 Timothy 1:12b); "And behold, I am with you, and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you" (Genesis 28:15); "Let not your heart be troubled...In My Father's house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also" (John 14:1-3). Thank You, God!
*** "I would not lose the hard things from my life--/The rocks o'er which I stumbled long ago,/The griefs, the fears, the failures, the mistakes,/That tried and tested faith and patience so./I need them now; they make the deep-laid wall,/The firm foundation-stones on which I raise,/To mount thereon from stair to stair,/The lofty towers of my House of Praise" (Author Unknown). "O afflicted one, storm-tossed and not comforted, behold, I will set your stones in antimony, and your foundations I will lay in sapphires" (Isaiah 54:11). I will etch the gold of My promises into your sad heart with the fair colors and hues of My character.
*** "I love you today, where you are and as you are. You do not have to be anything but what you are for me to love you. I love you now; not sometime when you are worthy, but today when you may need love most. I will not withhold my love, or withdraw it. There are no strings on my love, no price. I will not force it upon you when you are not ready. It is just there, freely offered, with both hands. Take what you want today. The more you take, the more there is. It is good if you can return love; but if you cannot today, that is all right too. Love is its own joy. Bless me by letting me love you today" (Author Unknown).
*** William James used to tell his students, "Be willing to have it so...because acceptance of what has happened is the first step in overcoming the consequences of any misfortune." No one can escape the ills of life; they are the basting thread that holds together the white robes promised to the redeemed. Our security is in absolute confidence in God: "[I] will not fear evil tidings; [my] heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord" (Psalm 112:7). "We know that God causes ALL things to work together for good..." (Romans 8:28), even that which temporarily crushes our hearts and our plans. God asks that we accept the temporary detour.
