The tale of three brothers…
Today we’re back to Genesis 9. Genesis Chapter 9 is an interesting chapter because it covers the beautiful and striking symmetry to the first chapters of Genesis, full of blessing and instruction. Yet, it the last third of the chapter, after everything God has done, we see human nature at its worst starting to comeContinue reading “The tale of three brothers…”
Eight Musings on Chapter 8
Eight musings, lessons and encouragement from Genesis chapter 8. 1) God remembered Noah. It’s such a simple sentence with a whole lot of meaning. That fact that God remembered Noah despite everything that was happening, shows God truely cares about each individual and that we never need fear He might forget about us. 2) ItContinue reading “Eight Musings on Chapter 8”
Gen 4 – The Heart Matters
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”
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”
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?”
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…”
