God the craftsman-4

I love this! God isn’t just creator. He didn’t just chuck things together hoping it would all work out but He crafted it, designed it, took pleasure in all He made.

‘God did not make one mistake in His creation’. How beautiful. It reminds me of something I heard recently…that God has never made a mistake, He will never have to apologise when we meet Him.

Going back to the craftsman. We are His masterpieces according to Ephesians. Think of the beauty of the world around us yet we are His masterpieces. You are His masterpiece. When He made you, He made you UNIQUE (a word He keeps singing over me) and He delights in You! Wow!

We are made in the image of our amazing, incredible, creator God.

Will you take time to Praise Him for that? Let me just remind you again….You are not a mistake! You are His masterpiece. You have been fearfully and wonderfully made. Amen

A heavy heart

I am still trying to write these thoughts each day but every now and then I will write another post. I feel I need to.

right now, I feel like I’m struggling. Life feels hard. One of my closest friends is going through an awful time and most of the time, I don’t have any words and it just hurts.
And then there’s me and God. I need to go deeper with him. i know it, i feel it but I can’t and I just don’t know why. Even last night at worship group I couldn’t quite let the holy Spirit in. Something was in the way.
I have felt for a while that I need to dream dreams with God but i can’t. Its hard.
I am trying to lead others in leading our CU and its a struggle. I need to fight but I don’t have the strength.

I feel weak, I feel empty, I feel inadequate and so much more.
I need to keep my eyes fixed on Him but everything around me is trying to pull my gaze away from Him.

Day 3

God the creator

Three verses/points that stood out:

1. Worthy are You,our Lord and God, to receive glory and honour and power for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created. Revelation 4 v 11.

2. Remember, the origin of sin is in knowing God is there without giving him thanks or glory as we ought. Romans 1 v 21.

3. God created all things. If He had done nothing else, this alone would make Him worthy of glory, honour and power.

Wow. So true. When I see His glorious creation, do I cry out in thanks, praise and wonder to the Creator? Do you?

Day 2

In the begininng, God.

Plain. Simple. Yet so amazing. Before the World began, God. Before creation, God. Before you or I. God.

Amazing, awesome creator. In the beginning, God.
He is worthy, so worthy of all our praise!

Enjoy it, let it sink in, let it be revealed to you again today.

In the beginning, God.

Character of God-Day 1

For a while now I have felt God saying He wants me to go deeper and deeper with Him in my walk with Him and one way is growing in what I know about Him, His character, the truths from His Word.

At an amazing conference last week I went to the bookstall and picked up a book called ‘Incomparable’ by Andrew Wilson. The idea is that over 60 days you learn more about the character of God. So I am going to share each day the truth of God’s character from this book and how this effects me and my life and lead me in worship and praise to my amazing God.

So today, the first day

God exists
Psalm 14 v 1. “The fool says in his heart there is no God”.

The Bible never once questions the existence of God. It’s fact. He always has existed, He always does and He always will.

Whatever anyone believes, they believe in something and have to account for it. What do you believe in? Why? I challenge you to ask yourself that!

I have had the amazing privilege of always knowing this loving God exists but so much more than that, this God, wants a relationship with me!
I am so thankful for this God, the Only true God. The past few weeks have been some of the toughest of my life and what a blessing and comfort to know that this God, has been right there with me in the midst of it all.
I only have to look around me, to the beauty of this creation, especially in Wales last week, to see that there is a magnificent creator, my creator.
I was made to worship Him. Thank You God for that awesome privilege!

p.s please forgive my poor writing skills, hopefully after 60 days it will begin to improve!
