Perfect Peace

There is only one place to find perfect peace.  Listen to these words from Isaiah 26:3,4  "You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee: because he trusts in Thee.Trust you in the Lord forever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength." I would recommend reading the rest of the chapter (after all you have plenty of time at the moment!!)
  It is when you realize how great and wonderful God is and that you know Him as your Saviour and that you dwell on that thought, that you will begin to grow in confidence. This is the great and glorious God who made all things, who spoke the universe into being and lovingly created all things, including you.  When He created Adam and Eve He also placed your DNA into them to unfold thousands of years later.  Yes He was thinking of you at that time.  This is the tender Father who cares for us if we will just put our trust in Him. So if you place your trust in Him, stay your mind on Him He will give you that perfect peace of which even corona virus and its economic effects cannot rob you. Of course there will be rocky moments when you look away from your Lord and then you will feel insecure, but those moments are just to send you back into the arms of your Lord with a stronger peace.  What God wills for us is the best possible thing.  This could mean dying of the virus! I want God's best for me even if it means that.  All that the virus can do is kill me and then I will be with Jesus forever and that will be wonderful. We cling to this life not realizing how poor it is compared with heaven. Trusting God means surrendering to His will for us.  No fear can touch us for long when  we do that. It is natural to fear, but He says,"Fear not!" The more we spend time with Him the more we will learn to trust.

What has Lockdown taught us? Will we listen?

  It was time for me to stop chattering on, thinking I knew so much and could teach the World how to believe.  Just like everyone else I have had a time of thinking things through. Suddenly the world changed over night and we were left alone with our own thoughts.  What IS the meaning of life? What really matters to me? How important is family? How important are friends and those people who are more than acquaintances? Can I live without them?   I'm beginning to realize how isolated I had become.  Most of my meals were alone, that is before Covid. We crazily live our lives in isolation and find that this means throwing away so much good food because you can't eat a whole cauliflower on your own before it's too far gone.  A tin of baked beans is too much for one and you don't fancy sardines on toast two days running. Life is built around being together, even if it's only two of you.  You don't have to live in the same house, you can share with a neighbo...

Hi-jackers

Down through history the true church of Jesus has been hi-jacked time after time by people with their own agenda which has nothing to do with Jesus and His teachings. Jesus lived a simple life. First as a carpenter and then as a preacher travelling the length of Israel. He healed those who were ill but reprimanded the religious leaders of the day. He gave His life on the cross to save all who will believe in Him. Yet ever since , although there have always been the few who have truly followed in His footsteps, there have always been the many who have built luxurious lives for themselves, and positions of grandeur claiming to be His followers They have also waged war in His name for their own ends. We should always beware of the religious who are proud of their position in the church . They claim to follow Jesus who was meek and lowly, but they are proud and love to be at the top of society. He healed the sick but they won’t give a coin to the beggar in the street. He taught us to love ...

Walking a Little Dog (2) Выгуливает собачку

 My little dog is on a lead. I allow him to explore his environment, I allow him to stop and sniff and to meet other dogs.  When we walk along the pathway known as the Old Railway Track I allow him more freedom.  I do not allow him off the lead because he does not know me very well yet and perhaps he would run away and not come back to me and then he would not be safe.  When we walk beside the road I shorten his lead and keep him close to me.  Sometimes he is frightened by big lorries passing by.  Then I speak gently to him and tell him he is safe.   For me all this is a wonderful picture of how God cares for us.  The restrictions he places on us are for our own good and for our safety and even to make us feel safe. He let's us explore life.  He doesn't keep us in a cage.  But he watches over us and gently, but firmly pulls us to himself when we are in danger. When life throws frightening situations our way He is there with a gentle whi...
