A Church with a Heart for our Community

2018 February 1st Thursday

Greetings to you in the powerful name of Jesus Christ – THE Risen Saviour! Happy February 1st…and it has started so nicely  Praise the Lord! I trust that you have completed all of January’s tasks so that February can have your full attention – “…But one thing I do, forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead...”! 

I have been reflecting on three truths…{1} “Anyone can believe when there are explanations and answers. The person who goes on to know God in a deep and intimate way is the one who can affirm that God is good even though there may be a thousand appearances to the contrary.”  Selwyn Hughes … (2) “One place we can go when we are assailed by doubts about God’s goodness is the cross. At Calvary we are given undeniable evidence that God is good.”  Selwyn Hughes … (3) The greatest answer that God can give to our questions and doubts and fears and confusion is…Himself, “…My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you…I admit I once lived on rumours of you; now I have it all firsthand–from my own eyes and ears! I’m sorry–forgive me. I’ll never do that again, I promise! I’ll never live on crusts of hearsay, crumbs of rumours.- Job 42:5-6  NIV /  the Message

I suppose that coming to know and understand that the God of the Bible is a reality and that He cares deeply for us as individuals is the greatest discovery that one can make. After that, life begins to make sense and one has a unique identity and a purpose for living!

Have a blessed day in the Kingdom!
