Wisdom takes Courage

I am looking at Galatians 1:1-10

(Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God?
Or am I trying to please people?- v10)

For most of us it is a lot easier to go with the flow of every day life and accept situations. We all fear the consequences of challenging unhealthy family situations,  not standing up for ourselves in the workplace environment or out in the public because we want to fit in and win approval. But our we really happy? To go against the flow, to be distinctive in God-honouring ways, takes courage. As Paul explains in this scripture.
This godly fear is not to be placed alongside our fears of the opinions or actions of other people but to take priority over them, so we have the wisdom and knowledge to deal with situations better in life.
God's wisdom is linked with discipline and discernment and helps us to develop a certain kind of character, showing itself in a particular sort of action.
Jesus says "we should love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us". My blog on forgiveness is a prime example... It takes courage and is possible, as we are never alone with the Love, Grace and Peace of the Lord.

Jesus lights the way.

2 Corinthians 13:14 -
" May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all".

Amen

Reflections

Today I spent time tidying up my blog and reviewing the last 8 years!!
Well I have certainly changed...
I have grown over the years and I have found peace.
My identity is in Jesus Christ.
He is my Lord and Saviour.
My search is over and I am on a new journey with the help of the Holy Spirit.
Worship, praying, fasting, studying the scriptures is my life.
When I first decided to start this blog it was going to be based my rare condition and how it impacted my life.
When I look back, I was so consumed with my condition, that a neglected God. It became all about me, searching for strength and answers but not realising, God was with me all the time. How many times have you lost something and it is right in front of you?
Watching and waiting patiently...
Every time I failed, he was there.
Every time I felt frustrated, he was there.
All the wrong choices I made and every time I felt alone, someone would call or something would happen to pull me out of my pit and cheer me up. He was there.
"Be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave nor forsake you" - Deuteronomy 31:6
Jesus is my rock.
I know that now...
Thank you God

A New Beginning...

Revelation 21:5

He who was seated on the throne said,

"I am making everything new"

As I read this powerful scripture and enter into this New Year, it gives me inspiration and guidance in knowing that I can make everything new in my life. 

I can start a fresh, learn from my experiences and build my faith.

Thank you  Lord.
