More

Oh Lord, there is so much more that you want from us. To be open. To be honest. To Weep. To Worship. To Pray. Time. It all takes time. Time in God’s word is important.

I can’t do this on my own. I need you Lord. Help me please.

There is so much wisdom in the bible, so many truths, blessings, encouragements, reminders, Life can be found there. Grace & Love. Hope. Joy. Peace. Patience, which is something we all needing right now.

Read. Feast. Devour & Enjoy God’s Word. May there be healing in His presence, for our hearts, our minds, our bodies & our souls.

But most important Love. Love for God the Father, Jesus the Son and the Holy Spirit. Love for the word of God. Love for each other. Love for his plans and purposes for our lives.

Horses

We all seem to be flogging our own horses, not to mention that horse could be ourselves. Forgetting we a body.

Picture a team of horses pulling a carriage, the strength, the power, the unity. They all work together for a common goal. No matter how many people get into that carriage, the weight, the team can get them to their destination.

Lord, please help us to see the team we have around us, that we may work together for you. To give you all the Glory & Praise, to further Your Kingdom.

I encourage you to please read 1 Corinthians 12 which talks about Spiritual Gifts and your body has many parts…

Alone

The hours draw on

as the mist settles thick

between the building

between the trees

and it feels as though

it is even in my bedroom.

The candle flickers from the

nights gentle breeze

But the glow is still

bright and strong.

Street lamps are on

Flat lights are on

But they all look so

distant and eerie

I feel so alone,

so desperately lonely.

Lord, my God

I know You are The only for me

and I worship You with all my heart.

Fill me with Your powerful presence,

So I may know Your heart.

So I may not feel so apart.

Psalm 139

My Life

I am not alone and yet I feel lonely.

I hear all the night noises,

And I Thank The Lord For His Creations.

I see a room filled with earthly possessions,

And I Thank The Lord For Providing.

I feel the cool night breeze,

And I Praise God’s Mighty Name.

I touch the softness

and warmth of comfort,

And I take shelter under His wing.

I’m afraid and scared of what

the future holds,

But I put my trust and faith

In The Lord.

For He Is The Mighty King of all Kings

The Creator of Heaven and Earth.

He is my Lord, my God,

my Heavenly Father

And I LOVE HIM.

I give my life to Him!!

Psalm 91

Lava of Love

Lord, may your church rise up and take it’s rightful place.

Luke 11:33-36 No one lights a lamp, then hides it. Put it on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light…

May the Holy Spirit rise up inside each one of us with Passion & Praise. May your church erupt like a volcano, may people see and know you. May your lava of love flow down the mountain, into the streets, into the people’s homes, into people’s hearts. May people’s lives be changed forever.

Matthew 5:14… “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden…let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”

The Well

Good, you go to church. You get water at the communal well but once a week isn’t enough. This is not religion, it’s a relationship. How do we develop a relationship, by spending time together. Genesis 29:2

Genesis 21:30-33 Dug a well, planted a tree and called on the name of the Lord, the Eternal God.

Genesis 26:24-25 “…Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bless you…Isaac built an altar there and called on the name of the Lord. There he pitched his tent, and there his servants dug a well.”

Call on the Lord and stay in that place, live in that place. Digging a well takes time, takes effort, but oh the joy that it brings.

Isaiah 12:3 “With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.”

There is refreshing, his blessings are new every morning and our reward is eternal life. John 4:6-26 Jesus tired from his journey sat down by the well and the story of the Samaritan woman, please read. Jesus said, “whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” “…true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks…”

Game reserve

Going to the game reserve, there are huge benefits to arrive at sunrise. You see animals that you don’t normally see. Perhaps they nocturnal and they heading off to go sleep somewhere.

I feel the same about having a quiet time, earlier, it’s quieter. There are less distractions and interruptions. You seem to have more time before all the daily responsibilities demand attention.

Set your alarm. Make the time and if you need to go to bed earlier, do that too!

There are huge benefits to spend time with God at sunrise.

Mark 1:35 “Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.” 28 May 2020
