We're so focused on the problem or the obstacle that we miss the provision of God by not trusting His promises.

 “Therefore I am now going to allure her; I will lead her into the wilderness and speak tenderly to her. There I will give her back her vineyards, and will make the Valley of Achor a door of hope. There she will respond as in the days of her youth, as in the day she came up out.” ~ Hosea 2:14-15

We take a look at how David was able to take on Goliath because of his confidence in who God is and the fact that He had already prepared him for battle with tools he knew how to use, giving him the certainty of victory.

Psalm 84:5-7

'Baka' - a poetic play on words of how God can turn our tears into a well that will bring life to all around.

We are made for intimacy with God. Don’t be fooled  by  proximity to God. Draw near by faith, with time and in the right posture.

Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.” (Galatians 5:25) Embrace His pace!

Following on from Andy's message to us last week, Marc asks some challenging questions on where our faith lies and teaches on the importance of obedience as we follow Jesus.

"It'll be fine, I'm here. Draw close, stay near." ~ JESUS

If you want to judge how well a person understands Christianity, find out how much he makes of the thought of being God’s child, and having God as his Father. If this is not the thought that prompts and controls his worship and prayers and his whole outlook on life, it means that he does not understand Christianity very well at all.

How long can you carry the weight of a worn out soul? How long can you fight against the grace that can make you whole? Will you slow down and take a breath? Will you come to Me and find your rest? ~ JESUS
