I am Confident:


When everything in the world around me falls apart and it seems impossible that any good can come from the chaos; I am confident in the promise of God to work everything out for good for those who love Him. (Romans 8:28)

When the culture around me is trying to rewrite what is true; I am confident that even though the grass may wither and the flowers fade away, God and His Word stands unchanged. (Isaiah 40:8)

When I keep doing the things I don’t want to do and the things I want to do, I don’t do; I am confident that His grace is sufficient and He who started a good work in me will bring it to completion.(Philippians 1:6)

When I doubt God- His goodness, His wisdom, and His involvement; I am confident that God will be true to his promise to be faithful when I am faithless. (2 Timothy 2:13)

When I am painfully aware of my inadequacies and my many weaknesses; I am confident that God’s power is made perfect in my weaknesses. (1 Corinthians 12:9)

When the future is a big question mark and life’s happenings appear to be random and without purpose, I am confident that God is sovereign and my every day is written in His book. (Psalm 139:16)

When fear threatens to overtake me and consume my heart; I am confident that God will sustain me, for never will He leave or fail me. (Deuteronomy 31:6)

When I wonder how God can still love and delight in me when I am so prone to wander; I am confident nothing will ever separate me from His love. (Romans 8:38)

When I find joy in following Jesus and enjoy His presence; I am confident it is because He has come to give life, abundant and full. (John 10:10)

When I am having one of those really good days and I’m so thankful to be alive; I am confident that every good and perfect gift comes from my Father. (James 1:17)

My confidence is only as strong as the person I chose to place it in.

For that reason, I’ve chosen to place my confidence in Jesus; my God, my Savior, my Redeemer and my Friend.

A Precious Gift

Oh what a precious gift it is to be a part of the church! A body of believers in Jesus Christ united under the authority and sufficiency of scripture. The church is made up of sinners saved by grace alone through faith in Christ alone. Our Saviour has started a great work in us but it won’t be complete until the day we see Jesus face to face. Until then we all still stumble in many ways. Sin is always crouching at our door, waiting to destroy us. Selfish ambition and bitter envy always too easily creep up. Yet despite our many sins and struggles, Jesus still chose to give Himself up for us. He took our condemnation so that we could become His beautiful bride, clothed in His righteousness and not our own. This marvellous truth gives us very great and precious promises. The gates of Hell will never destroy the church of Christ. Our   Father in heaven will never forsake us, bcause Jesus was forsaken on our behalf on the cross. The Word of God is the sourc...

No Matter What

We never know what tomorrow will bring.   This has always been true and even with all our technology and advances, there is still so much in our world we have no control over. Who hasn’t been alarmed the past week or so by the speed our world has completely changed ? We are living in very uncertain times and we are being confronted in a new way with our finiteness. In a time like this our emotions can go haywire. We have all had to sort through a whole range of emotions this week; everything from fear that we are in a pandemic, disappointment over cancelled plans and disrupted schedules, worrying about and missing loved ones we can no longer visit, to panic over the possible long-term effects of the Coronavirus. Where do we turn for comfort? How can our heart and mind still be at peace in the midst of all the chaos around us? How can our feet still remain on solid ground? It is by thinking upon and treasuring the gospel of Jesus Christ!   I know that is the typical...
