    Running..Faith for the race

    Running with the horses..a re-post

    “If you have run with the footmen, and they have wearied you, then how can you contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, in which you trusted, they wearied you, then how will you do in the floodplain of the Jordan?” Jeremiah 12.5 Have you ever asked a question and the answer…

    The floating gate..

    Psalm 24 encourages us to open the gate and let the King of Glory, Jesus, come in.   The One who is strong and mighty and mighty in battle.    City gates have historically been important places of influence and decision making.

  • When the answer is No..

    When the answer is No..

    It’s difficult to accept sometimes that the answer to something we want or ask is No. When we really, really want something but still the answer is No. There is no amount of persuasive arguments, pleading and cajoling that is going to change the outcome.
