Lord, thank you for your church and a group of believers I can call 'family.' Reality London has been such an answer to prayer...a lifeline when I miss home. A place where my batteries are charged. A place where I feel loved and accepted. Intimate worship with the King. I pray you would continue to bless this church plant and build your Kingdom in London.
What I've been learning...
"I am a great sinner and Christ is a great Savior.”
“I am not what I ought to be, I am not what I want to be, I am not what I hope to be in another world; but still I am not what I once used to be, and by the grace of God I am what I am” -John Newton
1) We need to sing JOYFULLY to the Lord.
We wait in hope for the Lord;
he is our help and our shield.
In him our hearts rejoice,
for we trust in his holy name.
May your unfailing love be with us, Lord,
even as we put our hope in you. -Psalm 33
2) Serve the Lord with fear and rejoice with trembling
3) Wisdom
"Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice. But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness." -James 3
Such a convicting passage...how often do I examine my thoughts and words? I want to be a peacemaker.
