Jesus tells us to come to Him when we are weak and weary. What are you trying to fill your tank with? Go to Him - for He alone can give you the strength you need.

Even the strongest leaders grow weak and weary... but God never falls asleep at the wheel. This is why we trust in Him, not people!

Some preachers will teach that you that all the answers are found within. But the truth is that all the answers are found in God. Don't look within - look to Him for the things you lack!

As I ran the mountainous Clarens-Golden Gate road, I forced myself to keep pushing up the hill. But eventually I realized that it's ok to pause and take a breath, and gather some strength to carry on. Don't forget to do the same in life!

The highlight of our time away was a tough hike up the mountains in the Golden Gate National Park. When people came past us at a speed, we started to get down on ourselves for being so slow. But then we remembered - why compare? Don't let other people's achievements get you down. God made you to be YOU, nobody else!

Clarens is filled with shops - how tempted we were to buy all sorts of little things! Of course, there's nothing wrong with buying nice things, but let's remember that Jesus taught us to be on our guard when it comes to spending. Life is so much more than stuff.

As we walked down to the river on De Molen Farm we were accompanied by two joyful dogs whose enthusiasm was infectious! Let's remember that the joy of the Lord is our strength today.

We witnessed an amazing thunderstorm at De Molen Farm in Clarens last week! Amazed at God, we also remembered just how badly the country needs rain. The God of thunder and lightning will provide... let's rise up and pray for Him to do so.

Why do we celebrate Holy Communion? Because in that moment, Jesus' presence is manifested in a special and tangible way.

Sometimes the best way to feel God's presence is to simply be still. When we learn to encounter him in the stillness, how much easier it is to find him in the busyness!
