Most Christians believe God has a particular plan for their life and want to live wisely, but many Christians struggle to discern God's will. So either presumption or paralysis follows when it comes to decision making and stewarding opportunities. Proverbs 3 gives us great help.

The world is full of unrest at the moment but this is simply a reflection of the restlessness of the human soul. We all need physical rest but ultimately we need the soul rest Jesus offers.

We are made with a purpose and time well spent fulfills that purpose. Time well spent goes beyond Christian activity and ministry and is consistent with our purpose. But beware…..we have a sinful heart.

It seems like the world is out of control and filled with extreme reactions everywhere. Yet Peter told the early Christians that the end of all things is at hand, so be "self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers'.

The gospel of Jesus Christ is all about the initiative of God to pursue sinners, enslaved in their sin and to save them. Without God's pursuit, there would be no salvation. Yet in our world sinners wish to be left alone in their darkness. They don't want missionaries to pursue them with the gospel. They don't want a God that tells them they are in danger and need to be saved out of their lostness. Even in the church, we can subtly step back and let wanders go unpursued. A fresh reminder of God's gospel in the saving work of Jesus Christ will show us that we were pursued and we ought to pursue wanders and lost ones with gospel love.

Prayer is something that every Christian knows they ought to do, but don't do enough. We all feel guilty about our prayerlessness. And what happens when we feel guilty about something? We tend to not want to think about it. So our prayerlessness continues. What we need is to be reminded of what it means to be a Christian at prayer, praying with one another as a Church at prayer. So, remembering we are redeemed sinners, let us pray.
