Firm In Faith

"If you are not firm in faith, you will not be firm at all" Isa 7:9b

Though the context is a little different, the message is the same. When our faith is strong, we can be a pillar in the worst of storms. When our faith is weak, we sway in the lightest of breezes. Make my faith strong Lord.

True Worship

"Worship must have heart and worship must have head. Worship must engage your emotions and worship must engage your thought. Truth without emotion produces dead orthodoxy and a church full of unspiritual fighters. Emotion without truth produces empty frenzy and cultivates flaky people who reject the discipline of rigorous thought. True worship comes from people who are deeply emotional and who love deep and sound doctrine." John Piper on John 4:23

Anxiety

Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the Lord  watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain. It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives to his beloved sleep. (Ps 127:1,2)

Oh how foolish we are! We proclaim God’s sovereignty, his love, his great wisdom and yet at the first sign of trouble we become anxious. Our faith is weak Lord, make us strong. May we show the world around us that we have a greater hope. Not in weak political systems, rulers, powerful armies or economic systems. Make our faith strong, set our sights and our hearts on your glory alone and may we be willing to sacrifice all for it!
