In Transition

By on Aug 18, 2010 in Uncategorized | 0 comments

Transition… this is a word I have heard a few people say of late. They may not be referring to the same situation, but they still class themselves in transition; either in their relationship with God, they may recognise that they are entering a new phase or stage in their relationship or it could be more of a physical transition in moving job or home. I’m in both… I am moving into a new thing with my relationship with God, and I am moving town. It’s times like this when you really know how much you lean and trust in God. If I look at what I am doing outside of God, well, I can very easily crumble and panic – and there are times when I peek into my situation and do just that, my heart ends up in my mouth. If I was standing on a tight rope, it would be the time when I would start to lose my balance and the rope would begin to wobble, but I have to remind...

Habakkuk – Living By Faith

By on Aug 12, 2010 in General | 1 comment

Habakkuk is really interesting when we relate it to our own walk with God. It is only 3 chapters long, so quick to read (Although may prove hard to understand initially) What struck me here is that Habakkuk is complaining to God because he thinks God is allowing wickedness to continue without Justice; he is judging by what he sees rather than who God is. He can’t understand why God isn’t punishing the wicked and allowing a more wicked nation to overcome a less wicked nation. God answers Habakkuk and reminds him of who He is and assures him that the wicked will be punished, but in His timing, not when Habakkuk thinks it should happen. God assures him that righteousness will come at its appointed time, and when the appointed time comes, it will not delay.. the proud live by their own doings but the righteous shall live by faith Habakkuk 2:3-4 Once God has replied to Habakkuk,...

Took You Long Enough!

You know, being a Christian sure is adventurous! I’ve been sat in my own little corner of the world just getting on with stuff, wondering when I am going to get back into that place of walking in God’s will and living as an effective part of his purposes for a number of years now. There have been times when I have almost touched it, only to wander back down my own road and continued on with whatever it was I was doing. Although I believed in my heart I always wanted to do what God wanted me to do, I realised recently, that actually, I have done the opposite! It’s amazing that we don’t always see what God is doing in our lives, but when things start to unfold, we can see that God has been doing stuff all along. For a few years now I have been self-employed and have had enough work to keep me going. Suddenly, all my clients, almost at the same time didn’t...

If Your Right Hand Causes You To Sin

By on Sep 22, 2005 in Uncategorized | 2 comments

And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell. Matthew 5v30 I have heard stories about this that people actually took this literally! Well, lets not go into detail hey. Well, you know, in your walk with God, there are always things in our lives that need to be dealt with, and when God starts speaking to you about what you are doing in your life that need to change, then its time to listen and act. Sometimes when God speaks to me, it is just out of the blue when I am not really thinking about anything. I could be working, driving, singing or whatever, and then God just says something. This is what happened the other day, God just said, if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off. Well, me being me said, “What does that mean?” and almost instantly I knew...
