Precious Thoughts

When we hear unpleasant news or something adverse occurs do we go straight to Jesus or do we act like He doesn't exist?  Do our reactions witness to those around us that we have a Refuge, that Jesus is alive today?Join Elinor as she reflects on such occasions now and in the past and how these speak of how well we know Jesus - how much we are abiding in Him.Music citation:Rosalita by The Piano Says | https://soundcloud.com/thepianosayshttps://spoti.fi/3uvxbRUMusic promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported Licensehttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US Photo by Paige Cody on Unsplash

Do you sometimes procrastinate because something feels too hard and you feel too tired to do it?  And then, you beat yourself up about it?  Whilst not condoning sin, how does God see His people as He watches them face life's struggles here below?Join me for a few minutes as I share a recent 'failure' and be encouraged for the Biblical response to such experiences.Music citation:Rosalita by The Piano Says | https://soundcloud.com/thepianosayshttps://spoti.fi/3uvxbRUMusic promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported Licensehttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US Photo by Denny Müller on Unsplash

Do you wonder whether God has a plan in mind for the world, or whether He has any concern of direction over the intricate details of your life?Listen with me as we look at some verses in Isaiah 14 (an Old Testament book of the Bible), which tell us about God having purpose for the world.As part of these thoughts an extract from a remarkable dream by a 19th century minister is included.music citation:  Rosalita by The Piano Says | https://soundcloud.com/thepianosayshttps://spoti.fi/3uvxbRUMusic promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported Licensehttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US Photo by Cdoncel on Unsplash

Do you need encouragement today?  Perhaps you started off the year or a new project with great enthusiasm, believing you were following the Lord in what you were doing, but now you are filled with self-doubt, procrastination or even want to give up.Join us at Precious Thoughts where we delve into a Bible verse of encouragement from many years ago, and consider its application to us today.Music citation:Rosalita by The Piano Says | https://soundcloud.com/thepianosayshttps://spoti.fi/3uvxbRUMusic promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported Licensehttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US Photo by Alexa Williams on Unsplash

Do you sometimes have days when everything seems to be going wrong?  It is as if something is trying to hinder you or prevent you from getting somewhere or doing something.We can get so upset when this happens, but God is not taken by surprise, neither is He disturbed from His purposes for you.Today we share one of those days and then reflect on our Bible reading that day and the Lion of the tribe of Judah, our Lord Jesus Christ.Music citation:Rosalita by The Piano Says | https://soundcloud.com/thepianosayshttps://spoti.fi/3uvxbRUMusic promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported Licensehttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US Photo by Francesco on Unsplash
