What a challenge! How quick we are (me very much included) to whinge and complain when we suffer (or more realistically, simply when things don't go our own way). I do want God to receive more glory and more honour from the way I live my life....so this is a good wake up call!! Whoa! What a challenge!

I think this is a good theme to write about as it is down to every one's attitude. Loving is not easy as you said and sometimes you have to chose to love. But in love all things appear in a different light. Very encouraging words. Oh also David wrote a psalm when confronted to his sin by God (through His prophet) psalm 51 is so amazing and shows how much David loved God and also how much God loved David. Great to read you back.

But when I step away from Him and back into the world I get distracted and weak. When I am around other Christians and praising and worshipping God I feel like I could take on the world because if God is for me, what could possible be against me? (Romans 8:31) But this world is polluting. As it starts to eat away at us we become weak and distracted. This is why we need to continually pray and seek the Holy Spirit in all circumstances. To sustain that connection with God. When I am feeling weak and distant from God. The hardest thing to do is to seek Him but that is because everything eveil in this world is trying to stop us. If we push through our feelings and negativity and seek out God in these circumstances though He will be there and we will feel so much better for it! We just have to keep remembering this, no matter how hard it may seem. I find that when I am focused on God and have given the time to be in His presence I am willing to do anything for Him.

Thank you so much for sharing this series with us. Although I would not necessarily agree with your comment about there being nothing wrong with happily watching/listening to a film full of bad language, I do think this series has been really good – so thank you for taking the time to share it with us :) Hi Adam.

]]> Comment on BS167: Strength for the weary: Isaiah 40:27-29 by Peter Sewell http://www.haldric.com/?p=763&cpage=1#comment-59 Peter Sewell Wed, 14 Apr 2010 12:03:44 +0000 http://www.haldric.com/?p=763#comment-59 It's always good to know that God is with us and that we do not need to be fearful. I also think that it is part of our human nature to be afraid and to question. David's Psalms were often written in the depths of despair and he asked God why he hadn't done certain things. Jesus even asked God if he had to go through with his plans and then, on the cross, asked why God had foresaken him. I don't believe that either were telling God he was unfaithful. As a worrier I've sometimes been told I'm sinning by worrying and not trusting God more. Perhaps this is right, but I sometimes found this unhelpful. I guess from this passage I feel that it's important to stress to people how good God is and that although it's natural to worry, we are not alone. God is with us and will not foresake us.

Sleep deprivation is hard but God is with me and will give me all I need to get through each day and night.

What a huge challenge! It's scary getting out of our comfort zones but that's when we really get to see God move in power! He just wants us to love people and give them tastes of His kingdom, no strings attached. So so true. What a huge challenge!
