Who are you working for?

Colossians 3:23 When it comes to work, we can tend to try and do as least as we can for as much as we can. We can desire the reward but despise the effort. With this attitude comes shortcuts, poor quality, bad workmanship and carelessness especially when the boss is not around. With this attitudeContinue reading “Who are you working for?”

Facing opposition

Psalm 56:4 It would appear that the habit of criticising prominent people and trying to pull them down has been going on since the beginning of time. King David of Israel who lived 3000 years ago had to contend with opposition, negativity, gossip, fake news and scandalous accusations as his enemies tried to dethrone him.Continue reading “Facing opposition”

Not far away

Deuteronomy 4:29 We can sometimes feel very far from God. Perhaps it is because of something we have done, and we cannot bring ourselves to think that He is even interested in us. Perhaps we have difficulty in believing He exists. Perhaps we think that He is too busy to be concerned about us. MoreContinue reading “Not far away”

But it feels so good – for now.

What we are being tempted towards will always seems exciting, fulfilling and desirable. When we follow through though it will always leave us with that feeling that weContinue reading “But it feels so good – for now.”

2 Peter 3:9 We have become used to getting what we want when we want it. At the same time, we know that when it comes to children there are age-appropriate toys and age-appropriate activities. Giving them small items at a young age can be a choking hazard. Asking them to carve a lamb roastContinue reading “Who is waiting for who?”

Anxiety

Psalm 139:23 I think all of us, if we stopped and thought about it, would have to admit that we get anxious about something. There is at least one thing and probably more that brings us stress, worry, concern and even fear. It could be a phobia, uncertainty or an overwhelming sense of dread whichContinue reading “Anxiety”

What if?

Galatians 5:14 Interestingly the apostle Paul who was more than a full bottle on the Jewish laws is able to summarise them all into one sentence. What a different world we would live in if each one of us decided to make each other just as important as ourselves. What a different world it wouldContinue reading “What if?”

The big picture

Genesis 50:20 The movie Now You See Me is about a group of illusionists who rob banks during their performances. We discover in the movie that they key to pulling off a great illusion is to get the audience to look intently and closely at what is happening. As a result of focusing on whatContinue reading “The big picture”
