Believing in God when things seem impossible
There comes to each one of us those situations that seem impossible. Situations that cannot be resolved by human means. Imagine a person has contracted severe and aggressive cancer. As they get to the point where there is no human solution, they get to the place of impossibility, humanly speaking, for the situation to be…
Believing in God, no matter what
Sometimes life throws us some curve balls. Sometimes we face things that we thought we would never need to face. Sometimes we may wonder where God is and question if He is still around or if He has abandoned us. We can never afford to lose our belief, faith and confidence in God. Believing God…
As you and I press on, God will respond
God is not looking for ‘rear view mirror’ focused people. God is looking for those who will step forward, confident that God is already there. We need to fight the good fight and win. 2 Timothy 4:7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. We need…
The things that are ahead
What exactly is lying ahead? The answer is we just never know. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Here are however three things: Open doors! Revelation 3:8 See! I have set before you a door wide open which no one is able to shut! Different things. Philippians 3:13 one thing I do, forgetting those things which are…
Reaching forward
We need to have a ‘reaching forward’ attitude. This attitude includes the ability to embrace the new and the things that lie before us. The Bible tells us that God has set before us an open door, but it is no good staring at the door or camping at the door. We have to move…
Press on!
Each day presents its own opportunities and options. Having a forward approach means we keep on pressing on. Hurdles and obstacles are part of life. We have to move through what we are facing and press on, knowing that God has got wonderful things in store for us. Philippians 3:14 I press on towards the…
Forget the former things
The Bible is pretty radical on the advice it gives us as to how much focus the past should receive. Isaiah 43:18 Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. It sounds a bit radical, but perhaps that is what God wants us to do. It is another way of saying: ‘get rid…
The rear view mirror
Our past successes and our past failures can be our biggest hindrance. I once heard a story of an older accomplished motor racing driver who was busy training a new potential driver. As they got into the racing car, the older driver taught the younger man a valuable lesson. Before even starting the car he…
Our past can become our biggest hindrance
One of the greatest keys to success in life is the ability to be able to go forward into what lies ahead and away from the past with its success or failure. How often we live in the past. It is a difficult concept because our only frame of reference is the past and yet…
Prepare your mind for action
Let us begin to believe God and His word. If He says He has plans for our good and not for our evil, to give us a hope and a future, then let’s choose that as fact and what we will believe. Speak out the positive. Believe the promises! Get your mind ready! 1 Peter…
