W@W WRAP – Week 401

Take heart! – The well-known book, The Road Less Travelled by M. Scott Peck, opens with a familiar statement: "Life is difficult." Jesus says in John 16:33 (AMP): "I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world." When life throws challenges our way, it's natural to ask, "Why does God allow this? Why do bad things happen to good people? Has God forgotten me?" Yet, understanding and dealing with the reality that "life is sometimes difficult" prepares us to face adversity with faith, trusting that God can bring good even from our suffering. (Romans 8:28 & 2 Corinthians 1:3–4)

W@W WRAP – Week 396

Hope in the Storm – As August begins, it's striking how quickly the year has passed and how many ups and downs we've already encountered. Reflecting on God's promises and our plans for this year, it can feel like we're racing against time, with each day bringing new joys to celebrate and obstacles to overcome. Yet, through it all, may we keep our eyes on Jesus and remember the profound truth that we are never alone. Even in our darkest seasons, God remains faithful, and He is our ONLY HOPE. His constant presence guides us through every storm, shaping us into all He created us to be. (Hebrews 6:19, Philippians 4:4–7 & Romans 15:13)

W@W WRAP – Week 387

May our First Response always be to Pray to and Worship our Lord! – What an amazing gift we have received from our Lord! In a world filled with despair and uncertainty, we can find comfort in being able to sing songs of joy. Whether this joy comes from deep within our hearts or through prayer and praise, it is a testament to the enduring grace, faithfulness and love of our Creator. May others be drawn to the peace and joy we experience in the midst of life's challenges so that we can courageously share the limitless hope we have found in our relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ – a hope that goes beyond this world and into all eternity. (Psalm 34:1-3)

W@W WRAP – Week 384

Faith in Action… – In life, our faith and actions are inseparably linked, and together, they shape our journey. Faith provides the foundation and belief in Someone greater than ourselves, assuring us that there's a plan beyond our understanding and current struggles. However, faith alone is not enough. Our actions bring our faith to life and demonstrate its power and relevance in our daily lives. Just like a coin has two sides, our faith inspires our actions, and our actions reflect our unwavering faith in the only One that brings life, love, light and hope into this world. (1 John 3:18)

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 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 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 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 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)
