Keep moving

"Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving." - Albert Einstein

As we prepare ourselves for the start of another new term, it is important to try and take stock of where we are at in our Christian walk. Taking stock is a key spiritual discipline, but we also have to keep moving forward (as Einstein says) so that we maintain some balance.

As we begin a new month may we move forward with the Grace of God upon us and the strength of the Spirit within us. Keep walking with God by your side.

Job 17:9 - "...the righteous shall move onward and forward; those with pure hearts shall become stronger and stronger."

New Day

I saw a beautiful sunrise this morning from my window. The old naked tree in our garden was silhouetted in front of the orange-red rising sun. It was breath taking. Every branch wrote it's own message against the background of the dawn sky. I was mesmerised and my heart immediately leapt with praise. The birth of the NEW DAY filled my soul with hope. Yesterday's pain evaporated in the blink of an eye.

2 Samuel 23:3-5 - The God of Israel spoke.
    The Rock of Israel said to me:
‘The one who rules righteously,
    who rules in the fear of God,
⁴ is like the light of morning at sunrise,
    like a morning without clouds,
like the gleaming of the sun
    on new grass after rain.’

Habakkuk 3:4-14 - His coming is as brilliant as the sunrise. Rays of light flash from his hands, where his awesome power is hidden. Pestilence marches before him; plague follows close behind. When he stops, the earth shakes. When he looks, the nations tremble. He shatters the everlasting mountains and levels the eternal hills. He is the Eternal One!

Remember that every sunrise is a reminder of God's great GIFT of GRACE - we have the opportunity to start over today. Turn your eyes to Christ and ask Him to write his name on your heart today.

“Write it on your heart
that every day is the best day in the year.
He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day
who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
