When the going gets tough...

When the going gets tough ... What do we say after this? Do we say, "The tough get going"? or Do we say, "The Lord is my strength"? There's a big difference between the two. The first is about doing everything in our own strength. The second is about receiving strength from the Lord. We may think that we're "tough" - but we're not! We need to be strengthened by the Lord. In 1 Corinthians 10:13, God gives us his promise. He will not leave us to battle on in our own weakness. He will give us his strength. God's strength - this is what makes the difference. Without him, we fail - and we fall. With him, everything changes. This doesn't mean that the going gets less tough - but it does mean that the Lord is with us: and this is what changes everything. He changes everything! Let us take our stand - in the strength of the Lord: Stand up, stand up for Jesus. Stand in His strength alone."

May God's Blessing Surround You Each Day ...

God's Word is "a lamp to our feet and a light to our path." He has "wondrous things" to teach us as we pray "Open my eyes that I may see" (Psalm 119:105, 18, 11). "May God's blessing surround you each day, as you trust Him and walk in His way. May His presence within guard and keep you from sin, go in peace, go in joy, go in love." "Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but to Your Name give glory, because of Your mercy and Your truth" (Psalm 115:1).

Guidance From "A Man Of Macedonia", Guidance From God

“During the night Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia standing and begging him, ‘Come over to Macedonia and help us.’ After Paul had seen the vision, we got ready at once to leave for Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the Gospel to them” (Acts 16:9-10). Paul’s guidance came through ” a man of Macedonia.” His guidance came from “God.” We look at the human situation. We ask the Lord, “What do You want me to do?”

Lord, You come to us with bread and wine. You come to us in Jesus, our Saviour.

Proverbs 9:1-18 Lord, You come to us with bread and wine. You come to us in Jesus, our Saviour. You come to us in love. You show us how much You love us. There is no love like Your love for us. It’s the best love. It’s the greatest love. It’s love “so amazing.” It’s love “so divine.” Thank You, Lord, for Your wonderful love.
