" So teach [us] to number our days, that we may apply [our] hearts unto wisdom" Psalm 90:12
Prince of Peace
Keep the faith!
And having done all.. to stand!
You can rely on His Word
- I believe we should be in prayer for those people suffering under authorities such as the Taliban and for all those Christians who are in danger.
- We need to intercede for the Ukrainians who are being invaded as we speak.
- We should be praying for those who are still unsaved.
- Keeping the faith can be difficult for some, especially as the world gets darker. We need to pray for ourselves too.
- We should bring our thoughts and minds under the control of the Holy Spirit by focussing on good things that are still here
- We must remember that Christ is in control, no matter how bad a situation becomes.
- We must bring everything we see, hear and read in to the light of the Word and we must remember that all these things, though disturbing, are temporary.
- We must maintain an attitude of gratitude for all things in our life and dwell on God's goodness.
- We simply must be a person of worship and praise.
- We must be in the Word.
- We must remember that Jesus has promised to take us Home before the Great Tribulation.
Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth- Revelation 3:10
“A Meditation”
“A Meditation”
Now I lay me down to sleep
As the day departs
And the sun’s long rayed fingers
Streak downward and disappear,
I meditate on my bed
And think of You, Lord.
I think of Your great mercies
As You kept me safe today,
And I delight in knowing You love me,
Even now as I lay reflecting on
Mistakes and sins of the day-
Forgiven and forgotten
As soon as I acknowledge them before You.
I can rest secure knowing
That even as I sleep,
You are watching over me,
Even me,
Whilst You sustain the world
And call the stars out by name.
Because of Your goodness and faithfulness,
I can sleep at peace,
Knowing that You will be with me now,
And tomorrow,
And forevermore.

It has a comforting ring to it.
You meant it for my harm
We have had a lot of chaos in our lives with Covid and world events. Being home has meant a lot of time to think. Sometimes this can be good but other times it can lead to depression.
Lately I have had too much time to think and it had given rise to depression at times. Often it lead to having the evil one throw darts at me, often in reminding me of sins and mistakes of the past.
Things have been better lately. Once I realised that the darts were coming from the evil one, I was able to take action.
We know that the Holy Spirit convicts us of sin with a way out: repentance and forgiveness. But the evil one condemns and accuses with no way to move forward out of the path of guilt and anxiety.
What the evil one was doing was trying to make me feel guilty and sad over past sins that have been forgiven and covered by the Blood of Jesus.
Remembering that Jesus has thrown those sins and mistakes into the Sea of Forgetfulness and remembers them no more, gave me the tool and the power to overcome these attacks.
An example of this would be me remembering some sin in my past that I would prefer to forget. The old anxiety pattern would start, making me miserable. So my conversation (vocal if I was alone) was to acknowledge with Satan that I was indeed guilty... but reminding him that Jesus has paid the price for that sin and has forgiven me!
Immediately, I would thank Jesus for His sacrifice and forgiveness and I would feel happy again. Satan cannot stand us to pray, praise and love Jesus!
What Satan meant for my harm became a reason to rejoice in my salvation!
Next time you are reminded of your past sin, remind him that you are redeemed and belong to Christ and start to praise Him. The devil will flee and what was meant for evil will be for your good.

But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive. Genesis 50:20

We are His friends.
Jesus called us His friends & told us what He was doing & where He was going & that He is coming again! We are special to Him and we are about to go to Him!
When you think about it, to have the Creator God call His creation "friends" is mindboggling! So dear are we to Him that He has included us in His circle of intimates.
Let's dwell on that whenever we feel down or irrelevant in the big universe. We are His friends!

Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knows not what his lord does: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. John 15:15
