Heritage Trail of MANGONUI, DOUBTLESS BAY, Northland, New Zealand
This is the second time that I am on the Trail. The first time I accessed the Trail by foot and today by vehicle.
From the Trail guide I am learning that the Trail begins and ends at the Mangonui Courthouse and that the Trail is three kilometres long and that it takes one-and-a-half hours to walk the Trail.
“WHY WORRY?” I remember the lady saying. I think I remember, because she said “why worry” almost in regular intervals. She said that while she was sitting in one of the hot pools at Ngawha Springs, not far from Kaikohe in the north of New Zealand.
(We used to work in Kaikohe for almost a quarter of a century with the United Maori Mission.)
Worry is nothing more than borrowed trouble. – Unknown
Worry does not relieve tomorrow of its stress-it merely empties today of its strength. – Unknown
Worry is unbelief in disguise. – Unknown
“Don’t worry about anything;
instead,
pray about everything.
Tell God what you need, and
thank him for all he has done.” – Philippians 4:6 (NLT)
“WE MAKE HOME AND COMMERCIAL SECURITY AFFORDABLE.”
When I read that today on an alarmtech work van I was reminded again of the eternal security of the believer.
Home security is important. Commercial security is important. But there is one security that is more important than any other security and that is the eternal security of the believer.
What do we mean when we are talking about the eternal security of the believer?
We were born as poor sinners. But once the following things have happened to a poor sinner, it is impossible that that person should ever again be a lost soul.
And here are the things:
1. He has been regenerated by the Word and the Spirit of God.
2. He has received a new life and a new nature.
3. He has been made a partaker of the divine nature.
4. He has been justified from every charge before the throne of God.
Home security is affordable. Commercial security is affordable. But thank God, the eternal security of the believer is free. Salvation is FREE!

“This is ‘the next book’ I am going to read,” I was thinking to myself, but when I picked it up and started reading, I put it down very quick. Was it that it did not arouse my interest?
For some time I have the verse of the Bible on my mind, where it says, “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: a time to be born and a time to die, …”
Not long ago I picked up ‘THE NEXT BOOK’ again and now I cannot put it down, because I am very interested in the book and the book is a blessing. “There is a time for everything …” even reading the book COMPETENT TO COUNSEL by Jay E. Adams.
