Be-held

And we beheld His glory!! Is this what you long for friend? What a wonderful Christmas it’ll be if we see a little of the glory of Jesus. ‘And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full ofContinue reading “Be-held”

What are We Longing For?

I’ve just come to the end of looking at John’s first epistle with a group of friends and there’s one verse, right at the end that is really searching me and I felt led to share my thoughts. There’s a part of me that always wants to post just positive things but we so needContinue reading “What are We Longing For?”

Joy and Peace

So many of the psalms begin by the writer describing the troubles they’re in and end with praise.

There’s a phrase  like that, that was said many times in the Bible to the children of Israel but does it include us?  ‘I am the LORD thy God.’ We first see itContinue reading “I am the LORD thy God…”

Rest!

Rest! There’s a peace in resting and there’s perfect peace in resting in Christ. The children of Israel wandered in the wilderness for forty years, instead of entering into that promised rest. Why?… ‘They could not enter in because of unbelief.’ They didn’t enter in because they saw the giants of the land and doubted.Continue reading “Rest!”
