The once a year chance.

How are you feeling today, hope you had an amazing christmas day. Strange day is christmas, that one day where unlike 364 of the others we celebrate an event that happen 2000 years ago. Have you ever tried to think what the world would be like 2000 years from now, could you do something that would be remembered for that long.

The important thing to remember is what Jesus did was focused on the moment. He did what he could with those around him. Maybe if we focused on our moments to the same degree, imagine the possibilities of that. Let not the apathy of your size dictate your life but allow the hands you have to make the small changes that in time have world changing effects. You have a chance so take it.

Quick pick me up thought

Each day is a limited edition of an all to short limited run. The precious time of Our lives a gift and the blessing of a chance to rise anew each day and seek our God given purpose to the betterment of all we can touch. We can approach the throne of Grace boldly for we have been gifted a life to spend seeking it

Joyful perspective

1 Thessalonians 5 16-18

16 Rejoice always, 17 pray continually, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

When presented with adversity, when given cause to fear, when pain has stricken us, when grief has bound us; its at these times we have a choice, a real and very vivid choice.

Do we collapse into the the pit of despair and languish there and see only the confining walls of our situation and burn with rage against the world or do we release that moment and praise God for the next and see the horizon of what could be a our remaking and burn with a new passion for God.

We live in a moment, is it this one or the next. because to stand still in this moment is to grow stagnant and to obsess over what we can not be changed.

The next moment is untouched and empty, the only things you will find there are what you choose to bring with you.

Learning

a Smart person knows they are smart usually but when a smart person begins to understand they are not the smartest person around wisdom then begins to creep in. in examining our flaws we learn our boundaries but we also learn that they there to be pushed against not stopped at.

Question

Never stop Questioning, God deserves your Questions as much as anything or anyone else. When we pick up a Bible with a Question in mind, an answer is often found. but heres the rub will you be comfortable with the answer, this is the important part of enaging in life long learning, You maybe wrong, the point of view you hold maybe wrong. 

its possible that your lifetimes work could be counter to what you should of been doing all along. its these realisations that are the true test of faith, have you faith enough to change in such a dramatic way.

its a Question all in its self, but when we follow Jesus we can be assured of one thing. The life we lead will be full and it will be in its fullness we will find our answers and our questions. so follow with Prayer and be ready to be suprised for a purpose is often hidden within a Question.

9. The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed,a stronghold in times of trouble.

10. Those who know your name trust in you,for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.

Psalm 9 - 9:10 NIV

The Lord is always a haven for those who seek him, the shelter of God is good not just for the cold rain of despair but for any weather.

Even when times are good, its worth remembering the Gifts, Blessings and mercies God has bestowed apon you so when things are not so good. Your faith will still  be strong on the witness of your own life.

if we only seek God in a rough patch then we are not enjoying all that we are promised, you are experiencing only half or what could be.

Would you mind praying for the salvation of my loved one Seth? Thank you and God bless.

I will, I'm sure his eyes will be opened and all will become clear in time but all we can do is pray, hope and have faith and let the Spirit do her work on him.

Leviticus 20:26 ‘I have set you apart from all other people to be My very own.’ The Lord has set you apart for His unique plan and purpose. You are needed, for a very specific reason and and a wonderful purpose. You are HIS and that is a great honour and a great privilege. PRAYER: Lord, I embrace Your purposes for my life. I place my life in Your hands, and I make myself available for Your use. Do unto me as You please. May my life bring You praise and glory! In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain.

Psalm 127:1 NIV

https://bible.com/bible/111/psa.127.1.NIV

God reserves the right to knockdown what we build for ourselves in vanity, but what is built for God for his glory will be maintained and guarded.

Hi

I'm not Dead, not posting as much as I would like but recently I've had a bit of block going on in my head and life seems to be not so great at the moment.

But my faith has not suffered and i still believe that I will get through this valley and God has not abandoned me. Soon it will all become clear and what I'm being prepared for I'm sure. Good or Bad it will be as it's supposed to be nothing I can do will change that. God strength comes through in my weakness.
