Steadfast

Do you know what steadfast means?

Imagine an anchor holding a ship in place. ⚓ It is firm and fixed and reliable. We are told in these bible verses that this is what God's love is like.

God wants us to know His love each and every day. This doesn't mean that there will be no problems in our lives but, instead, that He is there to help us through it.

A New Dawn

As you wake up in the morning it is a chance to start anew. Yesterday is gone and today is only here for one day.

What will you do today to make this a special day?
Is there something you've been putting off?
Where do you need change and refreshing?

Breathe in the new dawn and new day to realise God's faithfulness and that He is there for you when you call on Him.

Look out for God

Look out for a God moment today. An unexpected good event, a beautiful flower, a message from a friend. God wants you to notice Him in the ordinary and every day, not just the religious and ritual.

Prayer

In the 1971 musical Godspell (Stephen Schwartz), a prayer from St. Richard of Chichester is adapted to a create a simple prayer.

Day by day,
Dear Lord, of thee three things I pray:
To see thee more clearly,
Love thee more dearly,
Follow thee more nearly,
Day by Day.

May we pray this each day remembering His steadfast love and faithfulness. Amen.

Praise today

What is Praise? The Oxford dictionary tell us that praise is expressing approval for someone or something or showing respect and gratitude, particularly towards God. Other words that can mean the same (synonyms) are worship, glory, exalt, honour. We tell children 'well done' when we are pleased with them. We praise God because of who He is and what He has done. How do we praise? We use songs and hymns in church to help us praise. Whilst we aren't at church there are loads of resources online, particularly YouTube. 🎜🎜🎝🎜🎜 These songs are good to remind us of all the amazing things God has done and who He is. King of Kings, Faithful One, Almighty, Saviour, and so many other names. Many people find this the easiest way to express these ideas. But we don't have to sing to praise!

Choose Your Words Carefully Have you ever been upset by something someone has said to you. Or maybe it was the way it was said that hurt you. Remember that as you speak to others. Choose words that are caring and be careful to not be mean. Because, if kind words are sweet like honey, mean words are like thorns. They dig in and hurt when you say them, and they keep hurting for sometime afterwards too. Kind words So what would be kind things to say? Complements about something someone has done, made or said. Or grown, baked, drawn, mended . . . the list could go on forever Or that you like something they are wearing. This can be hard and against our natural inclination.
