Thought to Cherish - Deuteronomy 31:23 “The Lord commissioned Joshua son of Nun, ‘Be strong and courageous, for you will take the Israelites to the land I have promised them, and I will be with you.’”   What dreams have you had come true? What did you do to bring them to pass? Perhaps you dreamed of a career that you are now pursuing. Maybe it was of having a family, which you now enjoy. You may have dreamed of close friends with whom you could share your struggles in life. Perhaps you desired to make a difference in this world and have searched for the opportunities to do so. God is a dream-giver; He has dreams for each of us that He intends to bring to pass if we listen and obey. Because of His greatness, He is able to fulfill those dreams if we follow His lead and direction. Joshua followed God’s dream. It was not a new dream, but rather it was one that God had given hundreds of years beforehand to Abraham. It was the vision of a land. George Bernard Shaw wrote that “the reasonabl

Reading:  Zechariah 4:3-7; 2 Peter 3:8;1 King 11:1-13 We have a real enemy - Satan.  He tries to trick us into thinking we can live our Christian walk and also live in the world, and keep them separate.  But we can't.  No where are we told this in God's Word.  It's a lie. Everypart of our lives must express our devotion and love of God and following Him in every part of our lives.  Another lie is that our education, skills, talents and thinking will help us overcome any task - using our own strength.  This isn't true.  You can't live out your calling without God's help.  Zechariah 4:6 Life lesson:  Solomon - a little compromise can lead to complete ruin. 1 kings 11:1-13 "I'm coming back to the heart of worship, and it's all about You, It's all about You, Lord. I'm sorry for the thing I've made it when it's all about You, all about You Jesus." (M Reedman )

Life is like a jigsaw puzzle.  Our life falls on the table in a 1000 pieces, God wisely, carefully puts pieces together until it all makes sense. Pain is a process with a purpose.  God doesn't cause our pain.  Because we live in a world that is sinful and fallen, we will experience pain, trials and suffering.  God always has a purpose.  His purpose:  to conform us to the image of His Son - reflect the image of Christ.  Only God can make something beautiful from ashes. Through this process oiur characters are built, we draw closer to God, we become more like Jesus. To avoid bitterness, know that God is with you in the journey.  Jesus wept.  He wept for Jerusalem and He wept when Lazarus died.  He knows what we feel.  He isn't far away at these painful times, He stands right beside us.   In these difficult times you need to : draw close to God by spending time reading the Bible continue to meet in community i.e. meet for worship with God's people (Church) We may not un
