Safe.

In the book of Jeremiah 38v26 we read ,but the Lord hid them, the wicked king Jehoiakim sought to arrest Gods servants, and shut them up, but God kept them safe. I read once of a dear Christian who was being hunted , a spider came and spun its web over the entrance, of were he was hiding, his pursurer saw the web, and moved on. Feel safe today, Psalm 121 v8, tells us ,The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this day forth, and for evermore.

Taller than trees.

There is an old Gospel hymn which goes ,on your knees you are taller than trees, there are more things accomplished by prayer than we could ever realize, have confidence today as you pray. Consider the tremendous potential in your prayers, dont look at your weakness being a problem, its your strength. Unlike people who despise weakness ,not so God , He tells us our weaknesses are our strength , so look up to God and in the name of Jesus ask.

Snuggle dont struggle.

Nice memories are precious, like when your children are babies ,and you hold them in your arms,as they sleep so trusting,to them it is a place comfort and saftey,there they feel secure. There is a lovely verse in Deuteronomy 33v27. which reads ,The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms, why dont we just snuggle into those everlasting arms today, and we will find that we are safe and secure from all alarms.

Our greatest need.

So many people are carrying burdens, financial, physical, the list goes on, there is a story in Mark 2 of a man who was paraliyzed, its a remarkable story[ do read it], two things in the story, faith, Jesus saw faith in Him, to meet the needs , were are we looking , is it to Jesus?. The next thing we see, Jesus , forgiving the mans sins, oh yes He did heal the man, you see what we need first of all is our sins to be forgiving, first things first, thats our greatest need, and that need can only be met through faith in Jesus.

Lost all.

Recently on the news I have heard people saying that they had lost all,and they had ,that is, lost all their material possessions .I do understand what they mean , and my prayers are with them,yet in another sense they had not lost all, they still had their lives, like most people they live purely on a material level. Jesus said, what shall it profit a man if they gained the whole world and lose his own soul [MT 16V26] , to lose ones soul , thats really losing all.

Cutting corners.

I am not the perfect driver, sometimes I cut corners,sometimes it is dangerous, there is a king in the O.T. called Saul ,he cut corners,the result he lost his way,and he lost his throne. Do things Gods way, be truthful, be faithful, and leave God to vindicate you.

The runaway.

There is a man in the Bible called Onesimus[Philemon] , he runaway from his master,his name means useful, but it appears he was anything but useful.You and I will meet people like Onesimus, [mybe we are like him ,or were like him], we might think they are useless, lazy, not trustworthy, well this useless runaway,came into contact with a Christian, called Paul, he heard the good news,that Jesus died for runaways and nogooders,he became a new person, changed. Dont give up on the useless runaways, God doesnt, pray for them , pray for them.
