My Body Rest Secure


Therefore my heart is glad and my spirit rejoices; my body also rests securely. For You will not abandon me to Sheol; You will not allow Your Faithful One to see decay. You reveal the path of life to me; in Your presence is abundant joy; in Your right hand are eternal pleasures.
Psalms 16:9‭-‬11 HCSB

I am so glad I have the Lord. Yesterday I had a dolefull day endeavouring to allow my body to heal. I even managed a short walk down the dusty road to the shops. I had bought a warm top at a shop and left my cardigan there. The lovely ladies kept it for me. I went to the makeshift chemist and bought a mask. Most Nepalis here water masks as thr pollution is so great. Next i turned around and made my way back dodging newly dug holes in the road, dogs, motorbikes, cars, trucks, buses and people.

I had been recommended to buy a few Nepali dresses as they cover more of my legs they I am used to showing in Australia. I met a delightful seamstress who's command of English is not the best, but we managed, somehow, to communicate. I bought two dresses, one needed altering and she asked me to retun at 5. When I returned her 14 y of son was there. His command of English was good. One of the main things they wanted to know was: 'are you a Christian'. I said 'yes' and they broke into smiles. They had found a foreigner who loved their Lord.

When air returned to the United Vision complex I began to feel unwell again and it wasn't long before bouts of diarrhoea and vomiting descended. Pest! However, I kept confessing: ' the way out is through!' My belly had been distended for two days and I knew some bug had set up camp in the middle somewhere. It had to be expelled.

I was visited by two men from United Vision inquiring if I was well enough to be take on the planned journey to the villages, I said, 'Let's see how I am in the morning.' Well the morning is upon me and air am going nowhere, just yet. Another day of rest and recuperation. It is quiet and a tad boring but I have a book I am reading about Asset Based Community Development. It is dry but insightful.

I hope.there might be some podcasts for me to listen to. I live for a fresh word. The word of God is sharper than any two edged sword, it is living and active. Hebrews 4:12. Amen!

Who Rules?

The princes of Judah are like those who move boundary markers, I will pout out my fury on them like water. Hosea 5:10 World leaders of church and state are now all highly visible. When they are not open to consultation or do not listen they make judgements that are judged as foolish by both God and man. In Australia we just celebrated Australia Day and at this time various people are honoured for their contribution to society. Our Prime Minister, Mr Abbott, without consultation, conferred a knighthood on the Queen of England's husband, Phillip. Almost to a person, Australians judged this to be foolish. Even supporters have now distanced themselves. Imagine what it is like when church leaders follow their own emotions or the emotions of their people and change what is acceptable to God. For example, no longer considering adultery something that precludes a man from ministry. We might think we are clever, but actually going with a sinful flow. Where is God in all this? My emotions ar...

Know Your Sword!

So he took Him to Jerusalem, had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, "if you are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here. For it is written: 'He will give His angels orders concerning You, to protect you, they will support You with their hands, so that you will not strike Your foot against a stone.' And Jesus answered him, "it is said: 'do not test The Lord your God." And the Devil had finished every temptation, he departed from Him for a time. Luke 4:9-11 In this third test Satan quoted scripture but Jesus knew His scripture and was not going to be deceived by his enemy twisting the truth. I am amazed at what Satan tempted Jesus with. He did not know Christ. He had succeeded in tempting the first Adam yet he was thwarted in this attempt. Jesus had lived 30 years and been tutored in godliness with contentment, he was prepared, baptised in the Spirit and sold out to the Father's purpose. Every time our enemy comes against us we ...

Little Things Grow

The boy's mother said to Elisha, "as The Lord lives and you yourself live, I will not leave you. So he got up and followed her. 2 Kings 4:30 The Shunamite woman had travelled to Mt Carmel to find Elisha after the death of her son. Although Elisha had sent his servant Gehazi to the boy with his staff the woman had come to find Elisha and was not leaving without him. I like this lady's spirit. I am sure The Lord God Almighty also valued her heart. She had a heart for God and made room for Him in her world. Now, having lost her son she knew what to do: find Elisha and not let him go until he came to restore her son. What made the Shunamite woman believe that Elisha could raise her son? Was it the same faith that made her provide him a place to stay in her home? I believe it was God working in her life. I am grateful for her faith, I can read and be encouraged. We do not know her name yet her story lives in scripture. What a little thing it was to feed Elisha and then provide ...
