Poverty?

Lord, you know what it is like to be without a home. Bless all those many millions throughout our world who do not have a proper home. Bring your love into their lives despite their poverty and help us to realise how poor we wealthy ones are because we allow wealth to get in the way of our knowing you. Amen

Are you poor? So cluttered up with possessions that you have no time to think about the spiritual side of life? Surely there is more to life than a computer, an i-phone and all the other things we crave after these days. Humans need more in life than these things. We need to meet together and discuss. To share our lives with others. Yes the laptop can be a good slave to help us reach new people, but it is also a cruel master if we let it take over every moment of our life.

This morning I enjoyed playing quartets with three other friends. What joy that was to share music together. I'm sure no one would want to listen to us, but we loved it. We played Mozart and Beethoven and Elgar. It is much harder to learn to play a violin, viola or cello, than to play with a computer, but the rewards are much greater also.

Life after death

When we lose a loved one it is natural to wonder how they are faring in the next life. I would warn against going to a medium to find out. At worst these people are charlatans after your money, the rest misguided or worse. We are told in the Bible not to try to reach the dead. The best person to call on in this situation is Jesus. That's right, go to the top. He is always available through prayer and doesn't make a charge. All he requires is that you look for him with all your heart. He has the answers to all of life's difficult questions.

Persecution of the sick in Britain

The British government, through the benefits system is persecuting thousands of people who are not fit to work, giving them very skimpy benefits. People who are not able to work for health reasons are not able to stand up for themselves. The goverment will answer to God when the suicides happen. People were treated in this way back in the Old Testament. Then exile was the result for the perpetrators. Something equally as bad will happen to those in power today. The churches should be aware that there are people in need and set up soup kitchens for these people.Many are in this position through no fault of their own. They should be helped not looked down upon.

Persevering

Sometimes it's hard to keep going with something we have started. A little setback can get in the way of trying to do something good. I want these thoughts to touch your heart and make you think things through. However as I cannot tell if anyone has read them unless you comment, I get disheartened and feel I am a voice calling in the wilderness. But who can tell who might light upon this page and be really encouraged or helped in their journey of life. If only one person was helped it would all be worthwhile. If you have been helped in any way by this blog do make a comment.I could do with some encouraging too.You can find more thoughts like these at this link A thought for each day
