Trust and Hope

Over the last few months there has been a lot of doing, family and work wise presenting much challenge  but I hope opportunity for God's word, purpose in action. Not unusual for any Christian you may be  rightly thinking, I know, but it's been intense. 

God at work in the everyday

Continuing on from the theme of testimonies from the previous Sunday, I shared at last Thursday’s lunchtime prayer time, thankfulness to God in honouring my prayers, that had started at the beginning of the week, regarding two work ‘issues’ (the kind of workaday problems we all face). What I didn’t know at the time, was that I was to be faced by an even larger ‘issue’ on Friday – the sort that seems to come from nowhere!

"O Lord, Thou knowest how busy I must be this day. If I forget Thee, do not forget me."

which he followed promptly with the order "March on, boys!"
