Trust
Lord, today I choose to trust you, help me to trust more. Amen
Power
Weakness is one of the greatest opportunities when surrendered to God. When we come to the end of ourselves, it is then the God can work with great power.
Doubts
It’s OK to have doubts. Thomas had doubts, but he took those doubts and worked them through. He took those doubts straight to Jesus and Jesus allayed his fears. We need to do exactly the same. If we live with these doubts they will eat away at our faith, if we take them to Jesus He will help us put them to rest.
Blessings
God’s blessings come in many different guises. Some we see straight away some we only see and appreciate in retrospect.
Grace
I realised I only heard one side of the story
A tale of a war with no hope and no glory
Of struggles and battles and shots in the dark
But there’s never a fire without a first spark
I’d judged them as guilty without a defence
Believing the spin of the allegėd offence
I’d placed the great noose over their head
Without hearing their version I’d pronounced them as dead
I never weighed up the evidence quite as I ought’a
Now things come to light blows my case outta the water
My unswerving belief is starting to crack
And I’m wanting to haul every thought and word back
I trusted the person and ignored the whole scene
I wasn’t as open as I should have been
I’m a little more wise now and a lot less naive
I’ve been covered with grace and have a reprieve.
Power Flow
May the very power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead be at work in your life today, may it flow through you to others and may you trust it to work miracles in the lives of those you meet. Amen
Sunday’s Coming
Can you really comprehend what He did
Can you truly understand
What took place through all the beatings
What our great God had planned
Can you get your mind around it
What He did for you and me
As He let Himself be spat at
As He hung upon that tree
Can you know the true true meaning
What happened there that day
So much more than a man just dying
His perfection paved the way
When perfection is the sacrifice
It’s not just a man who’s led to die
Something happened in the heavenly realms
So much more than met the eye
So when Jesus died that Friday
As He hung upon that cross
He wiped away our every sin
He paid for all our dross
Every mistake that we will make
Hung with Him that day
He took the weight of every sin
For there was no other way
He paid the price we could not pay
And died a death we couldn’t die
But this was only Friday
And Sunday’s coming is the cry!
Rise Up
Rise up, rise up O bride of Christ
Purify yourself and put your armour on
Equip yourself for battle
Prepare yourself for action
The time will soon be upon us
The bridegroom is prepared
The day of The Lord awaits
Do not sleep, do not slumber
For the day is at hand
Ready yourself to fight
With confidence move onwards
The spoils are yours to be had
Be Still
Sheltered, secure, surrounded, surrendered
Hidden in a place no-one can reach
Safe, still, silent, shadowed
Listening for the quietest of voices
Calling, calling and waiting to be heard
Be still, be still and know
Away from the normal and into the extraordinary
Slowing, stopping, stilling, staying
Making time for the wondrous
Making room for the remarkable
Be still, be still and know
Be still and know that I am God
Be still and know that I am your God
Are You Ready?
Are you ready to be betrayed and disowned? Are you ready to be mocked, spat at and ridiculed? Are you ready to be whipped and tortured? Are you ready to have nails driven through your hands and feet and be left to slowly suffocate to death? No? Jesus was! More than that He did it not for His own gain, but did it all for you! You were the JOY set before Him.
