Genesis 4:1-16 ~ My musings on the story of Cain and Able. It is so easy to go through the motions when it comes to life and God. How easy and how often do we do things out of obligation and spite? We pretend everything is good on the surface, but inside we are aContinue reading “Gen 4 – The Heart Matters”

Gen 3 – Part 2
The beginning of the redemption story ♡ Thankfully the story didn’t end with our sin! If it did, God might as well wiped out the whole earth and all of humanity right then and there! We had lost our open fellowship with God and had earned death by our disobedience. But, instead of them destitute,Continue reading “Gen 3 – Part 2”
Lest We Forget.
Today is ANZAC day, the day when life stops and collectively as a nation we look back and remember and honour all those who have fought for Australia and New Zealand. As the daughter of both an Aussie and a Kiwi, I feel this day has a special significance, the coming together of our twoContinue reading “Lest We Forget.”
Genesis 3: Part 1 – The Fall
Chapter 3: The part of the story where we show how foolish and fallible we are and God shows just how full of love, mercy and compassion He is and that He always has a plan. I’ve always hated this chapter, its the one I always try to avoid and skirt around. I’d rather notContinue reading “Genesis 3: Part 1 – The Fall”
A God of Order
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. The surrounding nations of the time tended to have the similar concept, waring deities resultingContinue reading “A God of Order”
Be at peace
Here is one of my favourite bible verses, Philippians 4:6-9. One thing I love about these verses is how it offers comfort by pointing us back to God. I hope you find encouragement in these verses like I do in such challenging times. “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, withContinue reading “Be at peace”
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?”
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?”
Musings on Why
“Freedom begins way back. It begins with not doing what you want, but with doing what you ought – that is, with discipline” ~ Elizabeth Elliot This musing was written about the battle inside. The battle between fleeting pleasure and eternal gain. It is so easy to fall for ‘small’ temptations like social media, thatContinue reading “Musings on Why”
Do not let…
John 14:1 – Do not let your hearts be troubled… Our hearts are so often and so easily troubled, it is easy to forget our hearts only get troubled if we let it. In that spilt second when worries flit across our minds (no matter how big or small), it is our task, nay, ourContinue reading “Do not let…”
