“Let the moment come when nothing is left but life, and you will find that you do not hesitate over the fate of material possessions.” – Eddie Rickenbacker

At the beach

“Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD: The word of the LORD had not yet been revealed to him.” (First Samuel 3:7)

Just now I have been reading about Samuel in the Bible

In First Samuel 3:7 we read that he had a “not yet time” and a “yet time.”

I have also had a “not yet time” and a “yet” time.”

There was also a time in my life when I did not know the Lord Jesus Christ. There was also a time in my life when I did not understand the Bible.

But there came a time when I got to know the Lord Jesus Christ. When that happened the Bible became alive for me.

Notice also that it is by revelation. “‘Who do you say I am?'” the Lord Jesus Christ asked his disciples one day. And what did the Lord reply when Peter answered, “‘You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.'” The Lord replied, “‘this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven.”‘ (Matthew 16:13-20)

Just as there was  a “not yet time” and a “yet time” for Samuel there must also be a “not yet time” and “a yet time” for you.

In John 17:3 the Lord Jesus Christ says, “Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.”

“the strength of the horse”

“His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse, nor his delight in the legs of a man; the LORD delights in those who fear him. who put their hope in his unfailing love.” – Psalm 147:10

On the Ninety Mile Beach

“IT IS BETTER TO TAKE REFUGE IN THE LORD THAN TO TRUST IN MAN.” – Psalm 118:8

NEIGHBOURS DAY  AOTEAROA

We are asked to turn streets into neighbourhoods and get to know our neighbours.

“THE COMMON ROUND” – “THE TRIVIAL TASK” – “DRUDGERY”

“WE FLAG WHEN THERE IS NO VISION, NO UPLIFT, BUT JUST THE COMMON ROUND, THE TRIVIAL TASK.” – Oswald Chambers

DIRTY DISHES

“ASK GOD TO KEEP THE EYES OF YOUR SPIRIT OPEN TO THE RISEN CHRIST, AND IT WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR DRUDGERY TO DAMP YOU.” – Oswald Chambers

“make your house a home,” I read today when coming back from church. What a challenge.

“make your house a home”

Arriving at home I came across what others have said about the subject:

“A HOUSE IS NOT A HOME UNLESS IT CONTAINS FOOD AND FIRE FOR THE MND AS WELL AS THE BODY,” said Benjamin Franklin, the Founding Father of the United States of America.

William Arthur Ward, an American writer said, “A HOUSE IS MADE OF WALLS AND BEAMS; A HOME IS BUILT WITH LOVE AND DREAMS.”

And I think what an unknown author says, sums it up:

“IT TAKES HANDS TO BUILD A HOUSE, BUT ONLY HEARTS CAN BUILD A HOME.”

“ONLY HEARTS CAN BUILD A HOME.”

Our Physical Health and Spiritual Health.

The invitation to start the conversation that deals with our physical health I am finding on the front cover of a magazine.

Can I invite you to start the conversation that deals with our spiritual health?
