Pressing on and pressing in.
Over recent months we have experienced some really good times together. God has clearly shown up in our gathered times. Long may this season continue.
Yet now is the time to press on into all that the Lord has for us and, more importantly, press into a deeper relationship with Him.
Prayer, Bible study, fasting, meditation on what the Bible says, all become so much more important. Our success as a community of faith still relies 100 per cent on God.
Humility is recognising our place. God must build the house. He must be allowed to be Lord.
We need to hear His plans for us. The hearing will only come out of intimacy with God. At this stage in our pilgrimage, corporate intimacy is what is required.
May I encourage you to make time to be alone with God. Open up the Bible and meditate on the goodness of God found within the pages. Take time to hear His voice speaking back to you. Some of it will be personal, but some of what he says will be for us corporately.
Our world needs Christians who live out the teachings of the Bible. At a time of no absolutes, let us remember that the Bible is full of absolutes about God and His ways. We need to know those absolutes and live our lives under their shadow and influence.
Please press into God.
We also need to press on.
Guys, there is work to be done. The gospel is a "go" gospel.
We have a part to play in fulfilling the Great Commission (see Matthew 28:16-20). Our part is to be active in living out our light before men in order that they may see God.
So let us press on and press in. Time is short.
Have a good week -- Rob.
