Grace Whispers...Fix Your Heart on My Goodness

Grace Whispers...fix your heart on my goodness.

"Take your gaze away from all the troubles around you, let your heart dwell upon my goodness. For I am good and my thoughts towards you are good all the time.
The enemy may want you to believe otherwise by heaping up troubles to frustrate you, but let your heart dwell upon my goodness. 
This consciousness will help you  overcome. It transcends the troubles of this world and lifts you above it. 
 Fix your heart on my goodness."

Scripture

For the Lord is always good and ready to receive you. He’s so loving that it will amaze you— so kind that it will astound you! And he is famous for his faithfulness toward all. Everyone knows our God can be trusted, for he keeps his promises to every generation!
Psalms 100:5 TPT

Grace Whispers...Through the Waters

-

He could have parted the waters, but he did not.    Sometimes the tides came up high, other times it was low, I walked, stumbled, waded through each torrent.   When I pleaded with him to part the waters, make it easy, He said to me.. ‘why, but I am right here, with you, in it, You and I, together’.   I remember He had said he would never leave me yet there were times it felt like I struggled alone, wading through the tides with feeble hands and knees that barely held up.   I hear his whisper…’ keep moving, you’re doing just fine, these waters will not drown you, I am here, with you, in it’. I saw highways in the distance, people waltzing, it seemed, as they sped past, I   longed for this swift, smooth, jolly ride to destiny but I hear his whisper…’I know the plan and end I have for you, fix your gaze on me and walk with me, my way will reform, renew and restore you to your rightful place, trust me, it will not be a moment late’.   Hi...

God is God and You Are Not

The story of queen Esther - the Jew turned Queen of Persia, is one I have always found quite remarkable (you would find the story in the bible book of Esther). Throughout the whole reality-TV-type drama, (the first scene with the gals all lined up hoping to be selected queen, an ancient episode of The Bachelor, perhaps?), Queen Esther remained focused and clear.   Theres certainly a lot we can learn from her that will guide us as we navigate our own life circumstances, whether dire or humdrum. Following are some helpful lessons we can glean from Esther’s life.     Remember God is God and you are not.   When stuck in the muck of less-than-lovely circumstances, our first — and sometimes only — aim is to get ourselves out, and fast. With this line of thinking permeating our action plans, we can readily forget that we are not the ones in charge. Without a proper perspective, we face frustration. We try our level best to modify the circumstances, but we c...

Our Special Advent

   "...even in the dark of night God is at work, breaking through the husks around our hearts and bringing life, from under dead leaves" CS LEWIS Yesterday, we gathered to celebrate to offer thanks and prayers. As we reminisced about this year now winding down, we realised that even in what looked like utter darkness and uncertainty externally in our world, God was working on the inside, in the secret unseen places, healing, restoring, renewing, mending...getting us ready for our NEXT! C.S. Lewis once asked, “Why are so many holy places dark places? The cross, the tomb, the stable – they are holy because even in the dark of night God is at work, breaking through the husk around our hearts and bringing life from under dead leaves.”  The stable is where the love of God for His creation was born; the cross is where the love of God for His creation was displayed; and the tomb was where the love of God for His creation exploded in hope. God is able to turn all suffering to goo...
