Reflections:What Are You Thinking?

                               

Take a moment to reflect on great men and women who have gone before you- those mentioned in the Bible, and others since that time- you will note how each lived for Christ and accomplished great things in His name. Some of them, such as those listed in Hebrews 11, never received all that was promised them during their time on earth.

 But their faith didn’t fail, and because of that, they went on to receive their full and great eternal rewards.

Are there areas in your life where you wonder if HE will ever come through for you? Or is there something Christ said that you worry might not happen the way you hope or expect? Think on that great cloud of witnesses in the Bible, and meditate on what advice they’d give you.

Let your spirit be refuelled by their example, and let your mind be set at rest by their fortitude.

Just as HE came through for them, HE will come through for you.

I have experienced how the creator can give strength in weakness and triumph in the midst of trials.

Through my struggles, He has deepened my faith, taught me to depend on Him, and given me His abiding joy that overrides any physical discomforts. As He promised the apostle Paul, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”2 With God’s help, Paul’s reply is also mine: “Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. ... For when I am weak, then I am strong.”

Happy Easter my dear friends
