A Lamp unto my feet… – May we be intentional this week about spending time in God’s presence and in His Word. May we ask God to fill our hearts and thoughts with His life-giving, hope-filled words; so that we will TRUST the work of the Holy Spirit with fully devoted servant hearts; and then go out and spread the good news of HOPE and PEACE. (Psalm 119:105)
The plans of our Lord – Restore, Renew and Revive! – me days we may feel disheartened, BUT we can hold onto the restoration promises of our Lord for our lives. He builds us up! He provides fresh joy and peace every morning. He revives our hearts so that we can be fully devoted to Him, and obedient to His calling on our lives! May we ask Him to lead us to become more Christ-like each day. We do this knowing that we have a mission: To proclaim the good news and trust in our Heavenly Father’s grace, kindness, faithfulness and goodness. (Psalm 33:11)
Through it all – it is well with my soul! – God alone is the One who can truly refresh our souls with everlasting hope, unyielding love and unquenchable peace. May we take time to pause in the midst of our busyness, to experience His presence, to wait upon Him for answers and to follow where He leads us – all for His glory. May we trust Him to equip and help us to lead others well, and to provide for us to help those in need from a heart of care and compassion. Regardless of life’s ups and downs, may we remain in God’s rest all the days of our lives; and may we boldly declare: “Because of You Jesus, it is well with my soul”. (Psalm 62:5-8)
Building Strong Foundations… – We are here to build the kingdom of God – not just in our own strength, but alongside those our Heavenly Father has placed in our lives. We need to remember that nothing could ever separate us from the love and faithfulness of our Lord. This will help us to build walls of faith that will sustain us during difficult times. As we keep our eyes fixed on Jesus (our chief cornerstone), let’s trust Him for a heart of wisdom and gratitude. Let’s use words that build strong foundations in our lives and in the lives of those around us. (Ephesians 2:20-22)
Seeking God first… – When we seek God first, our lives are transformed! This involves not settling for anything less than God’s will and God’s way in all we say and do. It means being courageous to obey and follow where God leads us. It requires that we trust Him as our provider – the One we can always depend on. It involves a commitment to make His Word the lamp to our feet. As we immerse ourselves in His Word and presence – let us start to reflect the beauty of the Gospel and the goodness of God wherever we go. (Matthew 6:33)
Extraordinary love… – Let us come boldly to the throne of our Heavenly Father today, and ask Him to fill us afresh with the power of the Holy Spirit. Let’s trust Him to reveal His amazing grace and love to us in extraordinary ways; so that we may remain steadfast and faithful in sowing seeds of kindness, hope and love to everyone around us. (1 Corinthians 13:13)
Our journey beyond the cross! – What a privilege to have celebrated Easter together! The cross is a dividing point – a signal of the HOPE and LIFE we have because of Jesus. Sometimes we are overwhelmed with fear or questions – because we have such a limited understanding of what is happening around us. But the cross brings perspective – it reminds us of the key part of the equation between FEAR and JOY. The beauty is we can trust that our Lord is for us and with us. So, may we worship like never before! Jesus is risen. May our response to every situation be one of prayer. And then let us go out and share the good news of the gospel wherever we go! (John 11:25-26)
Spread the joy of Christ! - It’s a privilege to celebrate Easter together with you and your loved ones as we honour the sacrifice our Saviour, Jesus, made for us on the cross. Let’s remember today that Christ is risen from the dead. Because of that, we have a reason to celebrate and worship the One who gave His life, so that we may experience love and have hope and eternal joy. Let us come humbly before our Heavenly Father; and then let’s go out and spread the Joy of Christ this Easter. It’s all because of amazing grace! (Ephesians 2:8-9)
Lord, I am available – my hope is in You… - May we declare this week: Here we are Lord, help us to wholeheartedly exercise the gifts and talents You have given us – all for Your Glory! Help us to listen for where You are calling us to restore and rebuild Your Kingdom here on earth. Give us eternal hope and the confidence and wisdom to share our faith at all times. (Ephesians 2:10)
Rejoice in the God of our Salvation… - Let us pray this week that our Lord will give us eyes to see ourselves and others the way He sees us. This will help us understand our identity, purpose and calling. Then, even when we go through trials or seasons of waiting, we will not become weary, confused or shaken. We will hold onto God, knowing in our hearts that He will heal, keep and guide us. Let us continue to draw closer to God, allowing Him to fill us with His truth, His love and His Spirit. (Habakkuk 3:17-18)
