Fate / Luck

People believe in these things ,fate , luck,its like evolution, what do they mean to the ussers?,in a real sense ,these terms have become substitutes in place of faith in a Sovereign God, a rejection of a Sovereign God. As a Christian I declare simply , I believe in a Sovereign God, it is a declaration of faith, not feelings, not even facts, the bible declares the just shall live by faith , so by faith, I declare God reigns, and rules over all the affairs of mankind .

Names

There are many who do not like their name,so they change it by deed poll, or they keep it,secretly disliking it, or like inspector Morse never mentioning it.I personally like my name, William, though I have not figured out how William becomes Bill. There is one name I love above all others, Jesus, my Saviour and Lord.

Be still

My mum used to say to me ,can you not sit still for 5 min, when you are child its hard to be still, many of us adults still find it hard to be still,there are many reasons for this . here is a verse for all those who cant sit still for 5 min,Psalm 46v10, Be still, and know that I am God.

Love

So much could be written about love , I work among those who suffer from mental illness, I have for the last 17 yrs,I love my work ,I believe God put me in it ,they are my parish, what have I learned in this job?. patience ,.Consider how patient God is with us, why ?, because, He loves us.The challenge we are faced with is this, to show this aspect of love, this patience ,where God has placed us.

Some days

Some days things happen that can throw us, it is the nature of life , some days we struggle with life, dont despair, God is on the throne,He will remember His own, He has not left you, Job in his darkest hour said ,I know that my redeemer lives ,and He does, Hebrews 13v5 [I will never leave you, nor forsake you] ,hope on, trust on.

Condemnation

It must be awful to be in death row, waiting to be executed,condemnation is to say the least, is a heavy burden to carry,before we know Christ the bible says we are condemned,Romans3v23 declares ,all have sinned,but of course when we trust Jesus ,Romans8v1 tells us the wonderful news ,we are no longer condemned, we are forgiven ,and accepted by God.

Peace

So many are at war within themselves , there are of course many reasons for this, consider, the following ,Jesus is the prince of peace,and through him we can know peace with God, and the peace of God. Consider Romans 5v1 ,faith in Christ as Saviour gives us peace with God,next consider Philippians 4v6-7,daily communion in prayer results in the peace of God
