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…

Media Muddles

,
It's so easy to get in a muddle and we want to cry 'Get me out of here' when our circumstances become overwhelming.  However, there is a way through the mass of media communications that confront us each day. We can so easily mishear something…

Brevity of Life

Oh to number our days and not waste a single one is what we are encouraged to do in the Bible. Somehow, as one gets older, the days are more precious even though they can easily be squandered.  However, as our days are so our strength can become…

Plans

,
"We make our plans but God has the final word." (Proverbs) I wouldn't want it any other way.  When we've done our best at planning a situation, somehow God always supersedes it with a much better plan.  Am aware that our minds are the battleground…

Brevity

, ,
Life for us humans is so incredibly short.  To think that the likes of Noah and his contemporaries lived hundreds and hundreds of years. Among them was Enoch who the Bible says walked with God and then was not because God took him (Genesis 5:24). …

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…

Waiting

One of the hardest things we humans can do? I find this incredibly difficult but, as Christians, we are called to wait on God (Isaiah 40:28-31).  Our busy lives are not a reflection of our spirituality - in fact, I would even say that the…
