Reasons to believe in the power of the Bible
Rhesymau i gredu ym mhŵer y Beibl
‘Psalm 23 is important to me because, about four years ago, we were living in London and my husband wanted to move. But we were part of a big church and the children were in a lovely school, so I didn’t want to move. Something had to budge.
‘We were part of a home group and they prayed for us. After that, I woke up in the night with the verses, “He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside still waters,” in my mind. We came to look for a house and I had these words in my mind.
‘The house is in green pastures and beside still waters, beside a lake. The words from Psalm 23 became real. That was so helpful. It was like the Lord was leading us there and had gone before us. So, I could trust that that was where we were meant to be. That made the move out of London OK.
‘Now, I’m really thankful for the move, which I can’t believe I’m saying. We look out of the house and see creation, sunrise and sunset. We see God all around. It’s lovely. We can see green pastures all around us and, from our bedroom window, we can see the lake. It’s so healing.
‘I go back to Psalm 23 all the time, and I’ve got it in the kitchen, above the Aga. It’s very real for me. I struggle to remember Bible verses, but no one can take these verses away from me.’
‘Mae Salm 23 yn bwysig i mi oherwydd, tua phedair blynedd yn ôl, roeddem yn byw yn Llundain ac roedd fy ngŵr eisiau symud. Ond roedden ni'n rhan o eglwys fawr ac roedd y plant mewn ysgol hyfryd, felly doeddwn i ddim eisiau symud. Roedd yn rhaid i rywbeth ildio.
‘Roeddem yn rhan o grŵp tŷ ac roeddent yn gweddïo drosom. Ar ôl hynny, deffrais yn y nos gyda’r adnodau, “Gwna imi orwedd mewn porfeydd breision, a thywys fi gerllaw dyfroedd tawel” yn fy meddwl. Fe ddaethon ni i chwilio am dŷ ac roedd y geiriau hyn yn fy meddwl.
‘Mae'r tŷ mewn porfeydd gwyrdd ac wrth ymyl dyfroedd llonydd, wrth ymyl llyn. Daeth y geiriau o Salm 23 yn fyw. Roedd hynny mor ddefnyddiol. Roedd fel petai'r Arglwydd yn ein harwain yno ac wedi mynd o'n blaenau. Felly, gallwn ymddiried mai dyna ble'r oeddem i fod. Gwnaeth hynny’r symud o Lundain yn iawn.
‘Nawr, rwy'n ddiolchgar iawn am y symud, er na allaf i gredu fy mod i'n ei ddweud. Rydyn ni'n edrych allan o'r tŷ ac yn gweld y greadigaeth, y wawr yn torri a machlud haul. Rydyn ni'n gweld Duw o’n cwmpas. Mae'n hyfryd. Gallwn weld porfeydd gwyrdd o'n cwmpas ac, o ffenestr ein hystafell wely, gallwn weld y llyn. Mae mor iachusol.
‘Rwy'n mynd yn ôl at Salm 23 trwy'r amser, ac mae gen i’r Salm yn y gegin, uwchben yr Aga. Mae'n fyw iawn i mi. Rwy'n ei chael hi'n anodd cofio adnodau o'r Beibl, ond ni all unrhyw un fynd â'r adnodau hyn oddi wrthyf.’
