Troubleshooting

,
When difficulties come, do you troubleshoot? Are you like me and like others to solve things for you?  I like to complete  and finish things but, when it comes to solving a problem, I think I'm lazy or can't be bothered. I'd like to learn…

Communication

,
How well do you communicate? I'm not so hot face to face but on paper, I'm in my element. However, we need to communicate well verbally in order to have relationships with anyone. There are so many forms of communication these days, that…

All-seeing God

,
How we like to hide and wear a mask before others. Can we do this with God? He is the All-seeing God and nothing escapes his gaze (see Psalm 139 in the Bible). Hence, our need as humans to fear God  and be in awe of him, continually. I sometimes…

Trust

, ,
How can we trust people? How do we trust God? There is no easy answer but to do it anyway! (Eating is in the doing!) The wonderful thing about God is that he can be trusted as he has a proven track record.  He spoke through men (and women)…

Be still and know

, ,
I'm blessed with this comforting verse from Psalm 46:10 of the Bible. The New Century version says: "Be quiet and know that I am God. I will be supreme over the nations; I will be supreme in the earth." It's jolly hard to be still and quiet…

I was so very sorry to hear about the death of Robin Williams.  Any death is sad but somehow this man made so many of us laugh and he gave us so much, so it is a tragedy to see that his own life was curtailed. We can kid ourselves that this…

Resting

,
I'm not so good at this but have asked the Lord to teach me. He wants us in balance and we're of no use to him if we are burnt out. The Bible clearly teaches us that we are to cease our own works and do his.  Then we can enter into his rest…

Brokenness

, ,
God is the master potter.  We are the clay.  Sometimes we are broken inside but this can be mended as our lives can be remade by the master. When we realise our helplessness, then God can step in and do what no other can do.  He can release…

Panic!

,
Is this human trait prevalent to us all or is it just experienced by the likes of  the 'Dad's Army' characters? I'm more prone to this and have to guard myself from spilling out and making others panic, too! However, God, as always, has…

Drenching!

,
Rain can give us this but the Spirit of God can give us living water that comes from God's heart.  Trust that even though it has been the wettest February on record (I think I heard) if we had received the equivalent from the Holy Spirit I…
