W@W WRAP - Week 31: Our place of rest

Worrying leads to anxiety. Anxiety leads to tension, tension leads to pain, pain leads to fear. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to destruction, destruction leads to death. These are in contradiction to rest. Rest leads to trust, trust leads to favour, favour leads to happiness, happiness leads to joy, joy leads to peace, peace leads to love, love leads to hope, hope leads to life!

 

Matthew 11:28-30 (NIV): “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

W@W WRAP - Week 32: Walking in the ways of our Lord

Do you know God’s will for your life? Do you spend time with our loving Father? Do you spend time in His Word, allowing Him to teach you and direct your ways?

 

Psalm 25:4-5 (AMP): “Let me know Your ways, O Lord; Teach me Your paths. Guide me in Your truth and teach me. For You are the God of my salvation; For You [and only You] I wait [expectantly] all the day long.”

 

W@W WRAP - Week 33: Give praise to the Lord!

To praise the Lord is to bless Him, to give Him thanks and to exalt Him as Lord of Lords and King of Kings. It implies that we proclaim His name as the Name above all names. It’s to make His name known and to talk about what God has done for us.

 

1 Chronicles 16:10-11 (AMP): “Glory in His holy name; Let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice. Seek the Lord and His strength; Seek His face continually [longing to be in His presence].”

W@W WRAP - Week 34: Do you want to get well?

Do you want to get well? Consider the following: What is driving you? Have you grown complacent? Do you often believe the lies of the enemy? What is paralysing you at the moment? Where is your focus? What is stealing your joy? What is stealing your time away from prioritising God and His word? Do you really want to get well, or have you allowed your condition or your fear to become your identity? 

 

John 5:6 (AMP): “When Jesus noticed him lying there [helpless], knowing that he had been in that condition a long time, He said to him, “Do you want to get well?”

W@W WRAP - Week 35: Real and eternal life

Have you taken time to really consider what it means to have abundant life, and full, eternal life?  Does this cause you to think differently about your time, your circumstances, your loved ones, and the things of this world you live in?

 

John 10:10b (AMP): “…I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows].”

W@W WRAP - Week 36: Who is in your boat?

Who is in your boat? Would you invite Jesus on board? Let’s get rid of the fears, worries, doubts and darkness in and around our boats. Let’s invite Jesus on board. Let’s keep our focus on Him and not on the storm around us. Let’s trust Him to steer our lives according to our Father’s will. Let’s experience fullness of life by being 100% dependant on our Lord and Saviour.

 

John 6:20-21 (AMP): “But Jesus said to them, “It is I (I Am); do not be afraid.” Then they were willing to take Him on board the boat, and immediately the boat reached the [shore of the] land to which they were going.”

 

W@W WRAP - Week 37: Doing nothing without Jesus

Who do you rely on when you are faced with a decision? How often do you try to do things in your own strength?

 

John 8:28 (AMP): "So Jesus said: When you lift up the Son of Man [on the cross], you will know then [without any doubt] that I am He, and that I do nothing on My own authority, but I say these things just as My Father taught Me."

 

W@W WRAP - Week 38: Living hope

Do you truly believe that you have LIFE - life in abundance, life to the full - not because of your own righteousness or good deeds, but because of our Father God’s unconditional LOVE through Jesus? What amazing grace and mercy! We have a HOPE and a wonderful future.

 

1 Peter 1:3-4 (CSB): “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead 4 and into an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you."

W@W WRAP - Week 39: Holy Spirit-inspired living

Let us be determined to ask our Father God for His life-giving Spirit to be with us and to live within us.

 

Isaiah 11:2 (NIV): “The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him - the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of might, the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the Lord…”

 

W@W WRAP - Week 40: The desire of our hearts

Do you want to learn more about who our Father God is? Let's explore who our Father God is, by studying His names. Let’s trust in and completely rely upon our Lord, walking in His ways and honouring His NAME as the Name above all names. 

 

Isaiah 26:8 (NIV): “Yes, Lord, walking in the way of Your laws, we wait for You; Your name and renown are the desire of our hearts.”
