W@W WRAP - Week 360: IN AWE OF YOU!

The Bible mentions 'Fearing our Lord', 'Seeking moments of Silence' and 'Expressing our Gratitude' several times. But what do these phrases mean, and how do we apply them to our daily lives? When we consider the power, love, unselfish care, goodness and faithfulness of our Heavenly Father, we realise He is worthy of our respect, reverence and praise. It should indeed cause us to tremble and fall on our knees before our King of kings and Lord of lords in awe-inspiring wonder, worshipping Him in the splendour of His holiness. So, let us rejoice today, for great is our God! (1 Chronicles 16:23-29)

W@W WRAP - Week 361: OUR ONLY CONSTANT!

We live in a world that is constantly changing. There are changes in political parties, weather patterns, interest rates, inflation, our health, relationships, finances and jobs, among other things. However, knowing that our God remains constant and unchanging is a wonderful truth. He has been the same yesterday, today, and will be the same tomorrow. In this ever-changing life, our Lord is our guide and anchor through all the inevitable changes that we experience. (Malachi 3:6)

W@W WRAP - Week 362: WORSHIP OR WORRY?

In his book "Winning the War on Worry," Louie Giglio explains how the evil one uses worry to make us focus on the negative situations of this world. The devil even uses worry's companions, such as anxiety, fear and depression, to distract us from Jesus and the abundant life that He offers. However, we have a choice to make… By relying on the strength and grace of our Lord, we can choose to worship God for His goodness, faithfulness and provision instead of worrying about what tomorrow may bring. (Philippians 4:6-7)

W@W WRAP - Week 363: BEING GRATEFUL

It's amazing how our Creator grants us the freedom to choose how we live. We can either spend our days complaining about the things that haven't gone our way, or we can adopt an attitude of gratitude and thank God for all we have been blessed with. Many people we encounter on life's journey always complain about something – be it their job, their family or friends, how others treat them, their living conditions, their government, and so on. As followers of Jesus, however, we are called to live differently. Our Lord has made it very clear that we should look at each situation from His perspective and give thanks for what we have and the lessons we learn through each circumstance we face as we draw closer to Him. (Psalm 100:1-5)

W@W WRAP - Week 365: OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN, PLEASE GUIDE OUR STEPS IN 2024…

As we approach the end of 2023 and look forward to a new year, I would like to propose some questions for us to consider. How have you impacted and influenced the lives of others this year through God's guidance? How can you make yourself more available to pursue your calling and make a difference in the new year? What needs has God met for you this year? How has He been faithful to you in the past, and how does that strengthen your expectations for what is to come? Do you feel optimistic about the future, or do you have some doubts and a touch of despondency? What disciplines, habits, attitudes and practices will you continue, and which ones do you need to let go of? The list could go on, but most importantly, let us remember that even though we may reflect on 2023 and plan for 2024, God ultimately determines, directs and establishes our every step. (Proverbs 3:5-6 & 16:9)

W@W WRAP - Week 366: FUELLED BY JESUS’ LOVE IN 2024!

A ‘love story’ has been written that reaches from eternity to eternity. This story begins with, "In the beginning God" and ends with the affirmation that our Lord, the Great I Am, the Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End, and the Bright Morning Star is not only coming soon again, but is with us always! This story is about our Father in Heaven's amazing and unconditional love towards us, His creation. His love is so great and deep that He gave us His perfect and gracious Son, our Prince of Peace, the Light of this World, the Way, the Truth, and the Life so that we may be part of ‘the greatest love story’ ever written. As we turn the pages and allow God to write our 2024 chapters, may each word, emotion, action, pause, doubt and thought be fuelled by Jesus' LOVE for us! (Isaiah 43:1-2 & Romans 5:8)

W@W WRAP - Week 367: PAYING THE PRICE!

In today's world, everything comes with a price tag, including things like a cup of coffee, a piece of land, or a gift for a loved one. But have you ever wondered about the cost of following Jesus? When we look back at the lives of those who have gone before us, like Mary, Joseph, Abraham and Moses or modern-day figures like A.W. Tozer, Charles Spurgeon or C.S. Lewis, we see that they were willing to follow God's plan for their lives, even when it meant paying a high price. This leads us to an important question: Are we also willing to pay the price to follow Jesus? (Galatians 2:20 & 1 Peter 1:3)

W@W WRAP -Week 368: JOYFUL HOPE!

Do you ever feel there is no hope or find yourself in a difficult situation that makes it hard to believe that anything can change? Take heart, because with Jesus, all things are possible! In His presence, we find life even when our lives seem complicated and our circumstances overwhelming. So, instead of being anxious and worried, let’s find comfort in the fact that Jesus has already overcome the world and all its troubles and be filled with hope, joy and gratitude towards our Lord. (Philippians 4:6-8)

W@W WRAP - Week 369: THE PRESENCE OF GOD

From Genesis to Revelation, there are many promises made by God to His people. The beautiful truth is that we can, without any doubt, hold on to these promises as the Bible assures us of God's faithfulness and that we can trust that He will fulfil what He promises (Romans 4:21). One such wonderful promise from God is that He dwells among us and His divine presence will never leave us! So, let us open our hearts today as we draw closer to God and long to experience more of Him. May we let go of all distractions and enter into the Holy presence of our Heavenly Father. (Revelation 21:3)
