There are times in life when there is no visible path. Does it mean you are going the wrong way ….. or just that few have taken the journey before you? The clear, well beaten track is always the most popular. But ‘it’s the narrow path that leads to life and few find it.’ We are called to walk by faith and not by sight. The question is ….. did God initiate the journey? If so ….. you can move ahead with absolute assurance that He will lead you to your destination.

We often don’t appreciate something until we have to go without it! Rain is a good example. Having gone through many summers of drought and water restrictions ….. we have come to be thankful for rain. The first reaction is often a negative one ….. but when you think about it ….. rain is a gift from God and a blessing! Next time you complain about something or someone ….. think what life would be like without them!

Just a reminder today of what Jesus did for us on the Cross! 

Do you know someone who is sick ….. troubled with guilt ….. struggling with pain? Jesus died for all of that so that we might be healed. Whether it’s physical …..emotional ….. mental ….. or spiritual ….. Jesus paid it all. Repent of your sins ….. believe in Jesus and let Him be the centre of your life!

The race is on! So much to do ….. so many things to prepare for ….. it’s easy to get distracted. We had a near miss last night when a car going in the opposite direction suddenly veered into our lane. Please be careful out there ….. and slow down. May God send His angels to watch over and protect you all. And please ….. stay in your own lane!

It’s said that ‘every cloud has a silver lining’! It just depends on how you look at it. If you’ve flown above the clouds ….. you know that the sun is always shining up there. The same clouds that appear dark and gloomy from beneath gleam brightly from above. Every situation we face can be viewed from 2 aspects ….. positive or negative. It’s up to us to look for the positive. It’s there!

Well it’s officially the first day of summer ….. but it’s not looking very summery where I am! Heavy rain and howling wind. But I learned a long time ago not to allow the weather to change my outlook. So often ….. our expectations are very different to our reality. Does that mean we should lower our expectations so we won’t be disappointed? Sometimes our expectations are unreal. We don’t live in an ideal world. Sin has corrupted it. I believe the answer lies in how we look at our reality. Instead of comparing it to our ideal expectations ….. we should be thankful for the positives. Despite the wind and rain ….. I still have a roof and no leaks! Others may not be as fortunate.  When we put our hope in God ….. we will never be disappointed!

“And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.” Romans 5:5

Here are a few things to learn about bees. All worker bees are female! A bee produces about one teaspoon of honey in her lifetime. To produce a kilogram of honey, bees fly the equivalent of three times around the world in air miles The type of flower the bees take their nectar from determines the honey’s flavour. Bees don’t want to sting you because they die. So ladies ….. if you think you have it tough ….. spare a thought for the bee as you spread honey on your toast! But seriously ….. your hard work does not go unnoticed. You definitely make the world a sweeter place!

“Don’t be naive. There are difficult times ahead. As the end approaches, people are going to be self-absorbed, money-hungry, self-promoting, stuck-up, profane, contemptuous of parents, crude, coarse, dog-eat-dog, unbending, slanderers, impulsively wild, savage, cynical, treacherous, ruthless, bloated windbags, addicted to lust, and allergic to God. They’ll make a show of religion, but behind the scenes they’re animals. Stay clear of these people.” 2 Timothy 3:1-5

This was written 2000 years ago ….. and yet it could be today’s headlines! It defines what life is like without God at the centre! We are all basically self centered ….. but left to ourselves ….. we are on a slippery slope. I know that without Him ….. I would fit right into that list. I need Him every minute of every day. And so do you! ❤️

As the end of the year fast approaches ….. the pressure is on! But we don’t have to be driven by it. It’s amazing how one day in the year has everyone running around like frantic chooks ….. spending money they don’t have. It’s called the ‘silly season’ for a reason! And it’s all designed to distract us from the Prince of Peace! Let’s choose to put Him first.

Are you content? Most of us know that ‘things’ don’t make us happy …… but true contentment can only come when we know we are loved. God’s unconditional love casts out all fear ….. satisfies our deepest needs ….. and determines our identity and value. What more do we need? Sit awhile with Him today ….. and let Him tell you how much He loves you!
