verse of the day

There is a God reason. [ Psalm 119 v67 ]

Sometimes things crowd in upon us,we become unsettled,our little world
appears to be threatened,the words of Deuteronomy 32 v11-12,come to mind,it is dealing with Israel in the wilderness./Like an eagle that stirs up its nest and hovers over its young,that spreads its wings over them and carries them on its pinions.The Lord alone did lead them;no foreign god was with them/  Why the eagle stirs up its young I am not sure,but why does the Lord stir us up?,to stir us up out of our complacency?,Bunyan wrote of the slough of despond.the dictionary tells me the word slough means,a situation in which there is no progress or activity. Now that's not a good place for the
Christian  to be in,there is always work for us to do in Gods kingdom.The Christian life is ongoing in serving,and following in the footsteps of our master.Is the Lord stirring you up? to pray,to go forth ?, we must look beyond the stirring up,and ask our Saviour why. The Lord says, he who has an ear , let him hear what the Spirit says.[Revelation 2v7],today let us listen to the Holy Spirit
                                         A  prayer.
Dear God when You stir us up help us to hear your still small voice,in Jesus name Amen.
