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…

Out of Order

, ,
Have you been this way? Is your home like this? Does your life feel frenzidly (I think that's a new word as from now!) out of control? I've certainly been there! It doesn't feel good and is not at all honouring to God either. The book of…

The Greatest Story Ever Retold

, ,
So read the cover of the Daily Mail Christmas TV guide in the UK. They've certainly got that right! The animation of this happens on Christmas Eve on BBC 1 at 4 15pm for all the family. I read yesterday in the Bible that when the angel addressed…

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)…

Stumbling

Have you ever stumbled in the dark? It's quite scary and gets us out of balance and we perceive strange things sometimes yet when, as Christians, we stumble it can be quite different. God is the master picker up of us. It's not a problem…

Exhausted

,
This was me yesterday! Had a whole day of rest and then wondered how to avoid this again.  I've been going at quite a pace as we probably all do at different times.  How I need the balance of recreation and fun and time off work to recuperate…

Being Gullible

,
I'm gullible and an open book so often but how I need to be discerning and hold back more wisely. I so easily believe what people say but then one can be taken in by liars or deceptive folk who want to lead others astray or even by sincere people…
