Another test post? Really?


Take 2 minutes to relax. Pray and draw your focus to God. Thank God for something that has happened in your day.

Isaiah 40

https://www.bible.com/bible/116/ISA.40

UP:

The descriptions of the Lord God Almighty returning contrasts strength & tenderness, his vast might with his care for individuals. We tend to focus on just some of these aspects of God - are there any aspects in this passage that you need to remember more?

IN:

How do we encourage those close to us to trust in the Lord that they might pass his judgement? Do you keep your heart soft to hear instruction from those you trust to guide you?

OUT:

This passage calls to share the message, to shout it from the mountaintops. Take some time to consider how you might share God's word more effectively - to shout it from the mountaintops of your life.

God Is... Almighty

Take 2 minutes to relax. Pray and draw your focus to God. Thank God for something that has happened in your day.

The first series in this Bible reading plan is looking at different aspects of who God is and how that impacts us. They will all take the same format, starting with prayer, followed by a short reading and then some questions to help you reflect on the passage. This week we are looking at God the Almighty - El Shaddai in Hebrew. 


We will be using a framework of Up / In / Out as a basis for reflecting on the passage. This is not trying to study in great detail but more reflect on how God might be speaking to us through this passage. UP - Our relationship with God, IN - our personal relationship with people who we let guide us, and OUT - how we apply our christian faith to have an impact in the world. 

Take time to reflect on the passage through these questions (or ignore them if something else speaks to you). If you feel challenged by any of them share this with a friend - being accountable and honest encourages us to grow in our faith.

Genesis 17:1-9
https://www.Bible.com/Bible/116/GEN.17.1-9


UP:
Abram's response to God declaring He is the Almighty and calling Abram into covenant with Him is to fall face-down in worship. When you feel God prompting you what is your response? Is it in willingness and worship or reluctance?


IN:
God commands Abram not just to share this covenant with his household but to get them to take practical steps as a sign of their acceptance. Who do you support with actions to affirm and accept God's word to them? Who do you have who you turn to for support?


OUT:
God's covenant with Abram was not just for his immediate family or closest friends but for his whole community. How can we affirm God's call for our local church community?

Christmas Huts and Pasta

Jenny and I went to visit the Bath Christmas Market this year. It was a surprisingly British assault of the senses - politely queuing crowds, neat rows of wooden huts and a pervasive sweet, slightly spicy smell. This it transpired was one of the several stalls selling caramelised nuts, roasted in big round copper pans right there on the stalls. To further the culinary excitement hiding round the corner was a very friendly French man from near Lyons selling half a dozen types of saucisson from which we purchased a paprika saucisson - to be enjoyed over Christmas.
