The Peace Of God & The Blessing Of The Church Family

Sunday was especially blessed for me, as not only did i get to drum with the worship team, but i was asked to play a reflective song on guitar with my lovely wife Sarah on flute & Sara (the voice) singing. I chose the song โ€œIn Your Handsโ€ by Unspoken (see video below) and shared a little about worry, and how we need to trustGod and ย have more confidence in this promise to let his peace, the peace thatโ€™s beyond all understanding to guard our hearts and minds, as we offer everything (not some things) in prayer.ย 

After the service a group of us went down to the coast at Littlehampton and had a great day walking along the beach after eating chips then doughnuts! It was fantastic spending time with sisters & brothers and i felt truly blessed! ๐Ÿ™‚ย

In Your Hands Lyrics

The dawn is breaking and I can hear Your whisper in the breezeโ€จThe world is waking and I am here to meet You on my kneesโ€จWhen I’m with You my soul finds restโ€จCause I can leave it in Your hands

โ€จThe day keeps coming pulling me a different million waysโ€จI’m always running but never seem to catch the things I chaseโ€จWhen I’m with You my soul finds restโ€จCause I can leave it in Your handsโ€จ

(Chorus)โ€จ Every sorrow, I leave it in Your handsโ€จEvery sickness, I leave it in Your handsโ€จAll my failures, I leave them in Your handsโ€จAmen, I leave it in Your handsโ€จโ€จ

So I am laying the weight of all these burdens at Your feetโ€จNo more waiting, cause You’ve already won my victoriesโ€จIn Jesus my soul finds restโ€จCause I can leave it in Your handsโ€จ

(Chorus 2)โ€จ Every promise, I leave it in Your handsโ€จEvery healing, I leave it in Your handsโ€จAnd my future, I leave it in Your handsโ€จAmen, I can leave it in Your handsโ€จ

(Bridge )โ€จIt’s Your hands that form the mountainsโ€จYour hands set boundaries for the seasโ€จAnd in Your hands You hold tomorrowโ€จThe same hands that took the nails for meโ€จ

(Chorus 1)
(Chorus 2)

Listening and Obeying

My dear brothers and sisters, always be more willing to listen than to speak. Keep control of your anger. Anger does not help you live the way God wants. So get rid of everything evil in your livesโ€”every kind of wrong you do. Be humble and accept Godโ€™s teaching that is planted in your hearts. This teaching can save you.

Do what Godโ€™s teaching says; donโ€™t just listen and do nothing. When you only sit and listen, you are fooling yourselves. Hearing Godโ€™s teaching and doing nothing is like looking at your face in the mirror and doing nothing about what you saw. You go away and immediately forget how bad you looked. But when you look into Godโ€™s perfect law that sets people free, pay attention to it. If you do what it says, you will have Godโ€™s blessing. Never just listen to his teaching and forget what you heard.

James 1:2-8ย Easy-to-Read Version

Faith and Wisdom

My brothers and sisters, you will have many kinds of trouble. But this gives you a reason to be very happy. You know that when your faith is tested, you learn to be patient in suffering. If you let that patience work in you, the end result will be good. You will be mature and complete. You will be all that God wants you to be.

Do any of you need wisdom? Ask God for it. He is generous and enjoys giving to everyone. So he will give you wisdom. But when you ask God, you must believe. Donโ€™t doubt him. Whoever doubts is like a wave in the sea that is blown up and down by the wind. People like that are thinking two different things at the same time. They can never decide what to do. So they should not think they will receive anything from the Lord.
