Isaiah 57:14-15 — Sometimes we will spontaneously express our heart to God with our body, falling to our knees or clapping, dancing or raising our hands in worship. At other times, in humility, we deliberately choose to physically position ourselves in order to prepare our minds and hearts before the Lord. This is what I believe God is asking us to do, to choose to humble ourselves, not to just wait until we feel like it but in obedience to prepare our hearts and minds by bowing low. A contrite and humble spirit attracts the very presence of God. Isaiah 57:15 says that God not only inhabits eternity but dwells with the contrite and humble or lowly in spirit and revive them.
Make Every Effort
2 Peter 1:3-10 — As followers of Jesus, we don’t want to be ‘ineffective or unproductive’ in life or in our knowledge of Jesus. When we think of all that God has done for us in Christ, and since He is powerfully at work within us, there is a call to ‘make every effort’ to be growing, moving forward and bearing much fruit for God’s glory. As we start 2020, let’s be intentional about heeding this call so that we are a people who are awake and ready!
Are You Ready?
Times and seasons are used by God to alert us to his plans and purposes. Continually through New Testament writings there is a call for believers to be alert, awake and prepared, knowing well the times and seasons that surround. A new year has begun in extraordinary fashion, join us as we reflect on events happening around us, and the call for us to be an awakened, prepared and ready people.
Have You Loved Well?
The two most important points in any race are how you start and how you finish. There is a new year just around the corner and before we leave the current year behind we have an opportunity to take stock and even to finish well. Join us as we finish the year by reflecting upon the question 'Have you loved well?'
