Genesis 1 Part one of my musings from Genesis. Isn’t it amazing we serve a God of order!? Unlike many of its contemporaries, the Hebrew creation story stands in vast contrast; a God of order compared to creation through chaos.

Where is God?
So often we tend to find God exactly where we left Him, either as our driver or in our boot. Not to say God is confined to our ideas of Him, Heaven forbid! But we when dig through our emotions, our ideas, our pride, so often, when we believe God has forsaken us, it isContinue reading “Where is God?”
Keeping a Quiet Heart
But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart. ~Luke 2:19 This was my first attempt at something which kinda resembles poetry… it doesn’t quite have the same flow with out the correct spaces and punctuation, something I’ll have to look into fixing. Oh to keep a quiet heart like Mary did,Continue reading “Keeping a Quiet Heart”
Am I of any use?
“Am I of any use?” – We make up our minds that we are not, and we may be near the truth. It is never a question of being of use, but of being of value. When we are abandoned to God, He works through us all the time. ~ February 21, My Utmost forContinue reading “Am I of any use?”

Authority
John 12:44-50 Jesus says He does not speak on His own authority, but rather He speaks on the authority of the Father. How much more should we not speak on our own authority?! If Jesus who is equal to the Father in every way, in deity, wisdom, power, infinitely part of the Trinity, submits andContinue reading “Authority”
Who’s Glory?
John 12:42-43 Who’s glory do we seek? Really we only have two options; the glory of God or the glory of man. How often does the glory of man keep us from what we k njow is true, or what we should do? It is so easy to believe in secret when believing causes publicContinue reading “Who’s Glory?”
What hour is this?
John 12:27-28 This was originally written at the start of the year during an extremely tough time with a death in my partners family, trouble at work, health problems and such. It was instrumental in teaching me to throw myself at the feet of Jesus and trust. In light of all that is going onContinue reading “What hour is this?”
