Thought for the week ....
Hi All you Amazing Women of God!
I am loving the Presence of God in our Services lately and the word that is being preached.
In case you haven’t noticed the world seems to be in a “Crazy Place” at the moment! It is easy to get caught up in the headlines of the media and be swept away by all the anxiety and panic they evoke!
The Lord has been reminding me that there is nothing on earth that he hasn’t seen before! There have always been wars (big and small). There are food shortages and petrol Crisis constantly in other parts of the world - and God is still performing miracles and bringing hope to the broken hearted! I’m not minimising that these things can cause great distress for people but I think the Lord wants to remind us that in it all, we don’t have to live by the world’s expectations, we live by God’s expectations in HIS KINGDOM.
I would like you to take a moment and read Mathew 24:1-14 (or the whole chapter if you want the full amazing outcome)
This explains a lot of what is happening in the world right now, like I said it’s not a surprise to God. The ultimate showdown with Jesus is coming and he will be returning in all his Glory - the best Good news ever!
So my question today is while we live in trying times, which Kingdom are you listening to and living from?
I have been choosing to laugh at some of the headlines as I remember God’s words to me and our family about who he is and what is possible with him! I choose Joy over anxiety as I get fitter walking and not taking the car everywhere!
Maybe – just maybe, these times will turn us back towards each other like John Preached yesterday with a love that serves one another when we are in need, a love that overflows from our intimate moments with God. Could this be the Churches BEST OF TIMES and not the Worst of Times in history to show the love and hope of Jesus to our friends and family?!
If you are struggling with your circumstances at the moment please reach out to those around you and get support, but also remember that God holds the world in his hands, and that includes you 😊
