Nothing Can Separate Us from God's Love... & UK Fellowship Friday

When I was 19 years old I went to university for the first time. It was the University Of Dundee, in Scotland - 500 miles away from my parents. Once they had dropped me off with all my bags and finally said goodbye, I went for a walk along the beautiful estuary.

My beautiful view for walking in Dundee!

It suddenly occurred to me that I didn't know a soul in the whole of Dundee, or even Scotland! But very soon after that the thought came to me that it really didn't matter, because God was right there, and He loves me, so what else do I really need?!

The Bible says that nothing can separate us from the love of God, and as I was thinking about these verses today I realised that they are more deep than I had first thought.

For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Rom 8:38-39

God loves us affectionately

The word for love in the Greek here means affection. I am a mother and would love my children dearly whether they are in a submarine under the sea (depth), or on the moon (height), and even if the Queen told me not to (powers)! God also loves us despite whatever else gets in the way.

God loves us in action

'Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy...'  1 Cor 13:4

True love is not just a feeling, like we so often get from watching films. It is an action - resulting in patience, kindness and all these other things.

As a mother I might have difficulty expressing some of these action forms of love if my children were on the moon or under the sea, because I'm not actually with them. But God is always with us, so he doesn't have any problem with that and will love us in action, wherever we are!

God loves us through Christ

Did you notice that it says, 'Nothing...shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord'?

God’s love was shown to us in Him sending His only son to die on the cross for us. And the cross means that we can always go to Him for forgiveness and mercy, and sin’s power is forever broken.

Even if you're not a Christian, God still shows His love to you in this, since you can at any time repent of your sins and ask for forgiveness because of Jesus dying on the cross in your place.

What does it mean for our life?

Confidence - We don’t need to worry about what people think about us, because God loves us so it really doesn't matter that much!

Security - We don’t need to be afraid or feel lonely because someone who loves us is there with us and looking out for us: we can be secure in His love.

Boldness in prayer - We can be bold to ask whatever we want or need, because God loves to answer our requests.

Hope - We don’t need to be afraid of death because if we are saved we will go to be with the One who loves us. I loved this little story I read:

Mr. Hugh Kennedy, an eminent Christian of Ayr, in Scotland, when he was dying, called for a Bible; but, finding his sight gone, he said, “Turn me to the eight of the Romans, and set my finger at these words, I am persuaded that neither death nor life,” etc. “Now,” said he, “is my finger upon them?” And, when they told him it was, without speaking any more, he said, “Now, God be with you, my children; I have breakfasted with you, and shall sup with my Lord Jesus Christ this night;” and so departed.

Thankfulness – if everything else goes wrong we can still be thankful that God sent Jesus to die on the cross to  save us, and that we can have eternal life in heaven.

Here is a really cool song which we learned from a video of Jana Alayra, a children's worship leader in the USA. I've copied the words below. By the way if you are looking for new children's songs, hers are great - simple, Biblical, deep, and fun!

Nothing! Nothing! Absolutely Nothing!

Nothing! Nothing! Absolutely Nothing!

What can take your love away?

Nothing! Nothing! Absolutely Nothing!

What can make us separate?

Nothing! Nothing! Absolutely Nothing!

In death or in life

What’s deep or what’s high

There’s one thing that stays the same

No power or King

Can do anything

To take your love away!

by Jana Alayra

Pure Pleasure

We often have to fight problems that come with pleasure, like when we give them too much time so that they cut out more important things or dull our love for God. Or when we let them take too much of a hold on our lives, or when we indulge in pleasures that are bad for us.

But God also created everything that gives us pleasure, and there are many, many things which won't be harmful for us, if we use them well, which are a gift from God.

I loved this when I read it recently:

He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end. I know that nothing is better for them than to rejoice, and to do good in their lives, and also that every man should eat and drink and enjoy the good of all his labour - it is the gift of God. Ecclesiastes 3:11-13

There is so much that we can rejoice in, and so many blessings that God has given us, and we enjoy them better than ever after we have laboured and done our duties. Then we have the refreshing knowledge that we have worked hard, and can enjoy pleasure as a reward.

Some things can give us pure pleasure, like fresh flowers that smell and look beautiful, and wonderful mountain scenery with nothing to hear but the wind, and sheep bleating.

Along with the mountains, what has given me more real joy and pleasure than anything is music. I have always loved music and with the amount of times it is talked about in the Bible, God must love it too! I was listening to this song yesterday, and it really lifted up my soul. 

The harmonies and melodies are amazing, but it is combined with words that worship God - so I think it is the best kind of music, glorifying God both in melody and in words. 

I think when we enjoy these pleasures and remember that they are a gift from God, then we are also enjoying and therefore honouring God. 

Make a joyful shout to the LORD, all you lands! 

Serve the LORD with gladness; 

Come before His presence with singing. 

Know that the LORD, He is God; 

It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; 

We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. 

Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, 

And into His courts with praise. 

Be thankful to Him, and bless His name. 

For the LORD is good; His mercy is everlasting, 

And His truth endures to all generations. 

Ps 100:1-5

Choosing Our Response

I think God is trying to show me right now that I can choose my response to what happens to me. In my head I know this, but my will and heart often need reminding. Like for instance when I grab the biscuits and eat 5 of them in a row, blaming tiredness for my lack of self-control!

I have been reading two books, and they have both been saying the same thing in different ways.

In 'One Thousand Gifts' Ann Voskamp describes when her son threw toast at his brother, and says something very deep:

'What compels me to name these moments upheavals and annoyances instead of grace and gift? Why deprive myself of joy's oxygen?...Isn't it because I think complaining, exasperation, resentment will pound me up into the full life I really want? When I choose - and it is a choice - to crush joy with bitterness, am I not purposefully choosing to take the way of the Prince of Darkness?'

We have a choice in how we respond to situations, to those little things that can make us so mad or upset. I remember once having a mini-revelation as I walked through the school playground feeling angry and resentful. I suddenly realised that if I wanted to, I could decide to cheer up.

It's just that I didn't want to, because I liked feeling sorry for myself. I finally persuaded myself to cheer up anyway, and did - just like that.

She goes on to say, 'In His presence is fullness of joy. He is in this moment. The well is always here. God is always here - precisely because He does care.'

We can choose our attitude, and as she beautifully points out we can find joy, because in God's presence is joy, and He is with us at all times if we are saved - 'I will never leave you nor forsake you'.

In the other book I've been reading, 'The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People', Stephen Covey says this:

'Anytime we think the problem is "out there," that thought is the problem. We empower what's out there to control us... It is so much easier to blame other people, conditioning, or conditions for our own stagnant situation. But we are responsible - "response-able" - to control our lives and to powerfully influence our circumstances by working on be, on what we are.'

So what I am taking from these thoughts is that what happens to us, or what we are going through, doesn't determine how we respond - we can choose how to respond.

It is definitely a lot harder, and takes effort, to choose joy, love and forgiveness (and in my case self-control!), rather than discouragement, bitterness and resentment. But we can do it, and we will be blessed when we do, because it is what God wants us to do.

We can also do what Stephen Covey says and be proactive to work on the problem. We might not be able to change someone else, but there are often things that we can do ourselves to help. I hope to write soon on how to figure out Biblical responses to situations, as that is not always that easy!

Linking up with A Holy Experience, Sharing His Beauty

Don't Look at the Clouds... & UK Fellowship Friday

I was up in the night several times from 4am onwards with little ones. Just as I was thinking I might get a small amount of sleep, another one woke up crying! So I got up feeling tired, wanting to go back to bed, struggling to keep my eyes open.

I kept thinking, ‘How am I going to get through today?’. It was our first day back at school after the Christmas holidays. The kids were grumbling and my mind was complaining.

Then my mind went back to Ann Voskamp’s reminder about ‘doing the next thing’, where she refers to Elisabeth Elliot, whose missionary husband became a martyr when he was killed on the mission field. Elisabeth Elliot said this:

'Have you had the experience of feeling as if you've got far too many burdens to bear, far too many people to take care of, far too many things on your list to do? You just can't possibly do it, and you get in a panic and you just want to sit down and collapse in a pile and feel sorry for yourself.

Well, I've felt that way a good many times in my life, and I go back over and over again to an old Saxon legend, which I'm told is carved in an old English parson somewhere by the sea. I don't know where this is. But this is a poem which was written about that legend. The legend is "Do the next thing." And it's spelled in what I suppose is Saxon spelling. "D-O-E" for "do," "the," and then next, "N-E-X-T." "Thing"-"T-H-Y-N-G-E."

The poem says, 

"Do it immediately, do it with prayer, 

Do it reliantly, casting all care. 

Do it with reverence, tracing His hand

Who placed it before thee with earnest command. 

Stayed on omnipotence, safe 'neath His wing, 

Leave all resultings, do the next thing." 

That is a wonderfully saving truth. Just do the next thing.'

You can read the rest of her story about how it helped her at Back to the Bible, which is where I got this extract from.

So I tried to change my focus. Instead of wondering how I was going to get through the day, and whether I should just drop school for the day and try to rest, I thought, ‘Let’s just do the dishes right now and not think ahead more than that.’ I turned some worship music on – Hope’s choice since she already had said, ‘I’m not having a good day’! And just did the dishes.

It really did help an awful lot, and it reminded me of a verse I read recently which said,

‘He who regards the clouds will not reap’ Ecclesiastes 11:4

I think a lot of our troubles come from looking at the clouds. They might not actually be dropping rain on us, but we look at them and think ‘Rain is coming, is it worth starting if it’s going to rain? I might get wet, I might have to stop, maybe I just shouldn’t start…’

We focus on the negative thoughts, on what people think about us, on how bad we feel, whereas often we just need to forget the thoughts, feelings, discouragements and excuses and just do the next thing and get on with our responsibilities. Often when we do that we feel better as a result.

Matthew Henry says, ‘The discouragements we meet with in these duties are but as winds and clouds, which will do us no harm, and which those that put on a little courage and resolution will despise and easily break through.’

The outcome of the day was that by the time lunchtime came I felt an awful lot better, and we did manage to do school and everything else that was important. So it wasn't as bad as it seemed at the beginning of the day!

I would love you to link up if you have recently written a post about your faith that might encourage other Christians - for example a testimony, reflection or challenge. The only other requirement is that you live in the UK. Please link to the specific post you've written, then it will help people to find it.

Which Bible and Christian Book Would You Take to a Desert Island?

I like thinking about 'what ifs' sometimes, just for fun, and I thought it would be interesting to ask this:

If you were to be stranded alone on a desert island, and could have one Bible and one Christian book what would you choose to have with you?

What I would like to take:

Thompson Chain Reference Bible  - I love this Bible because it has a massive index of topics in the back so you can find whatever you are interested in, and also lots of other ideas for study, Bible helps and great maps. I would take the New King James Version because it's my favourite!

Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible - for a long time I thought I would want Baxter's Christian Directory (by saying 'a long time' that shows I've been thinking about this for a while!!) because it has so much practical wisdom and advice. But then I realised that if I had Matthew Henry's Commentary it would help me understand the Bible better as well as helping me apply it, since he is very good at making it relevant for daily life.

It is very deep, and comments on scripture by using other scriptures. It is also very devotional - it inspires me to love God more, and it's big so it would keep me going for a long long time!

I feel quite spoilt asking which Bible you would take, as I know that in countries where there is persecution, it can be hard to even get hold of one Bible. We are blessed to have as many choices and Bible helps and notes as we do.

On a side note, you can download the entire Matthew Henry commentary for free if you download E-Sword, also free, which is a great resource. And there is The Treasury of Scripture Knowledge on there which is wonderful for finding parallel passages, and Torrey's topics to find verses on different topics. So I guess if we could take a laptop to the desert island we'd be sorted!

What do you think? I would love to hear which Bible and Christian book you would like to have on a desert island, so please leave a comment if you would like to share!

Getting Back Up Again & UK Fellowship Friday

Have you ever decided to do something in your life to obey or glorify God, and then failed miserably and got discouraged?

I used to do that a lot - fail, and then feel guilty and depressed. And the worst thing was that those feelings would keep me down. I would feel like I didn’t want to try again in case I repeated my failure. I would feel embarrassed and small at how stupid I was.

Then one day I read a verse in Proverbs, and it was a moment that changed my whole outlook on life!

‘For a righteous man may fall seven times and rise again, but the wicked shall fall by calamity.’ Prov 24:16

I realised that God knows that we fall, and He also knows that we will rise again. We should expect to fall in this life, and He's not up there condemning us. He knows it's just part of our growth, like when babies start learning to walk. The important thing is that we get back up again!

But how do we rise again?
 
Ask God for forgiveness

If we have sinned, then the way that God has given us to get back up again is coming to the cross in repentance. There we find God’s mercy and grace for us, and we can know that we are forgiven, and can have peace.

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1Jn 1:9 

I love this song, which always reminds me of God’s mercy and grace at the cross:

‘I come to the cross seeking mercy and grace.
I come to the cross where you died in my place.
Out of my weakness and into your strength,
Humbly I come to the cross.
Your arms are open you call me by name.
You welcome this child that was lost.
You paid the price for my guilt and my shame.
Jesus I come to the cross.’
By Bill Batstone

Start again

We also have to remember to start again! We are often afraid to risk failing, but God is with us and is on our side, and has immeasurable mercy and grace for us. That is why I love that verse so much. It doesn’t just say ‘A righteous man may fall and rise again.’ But it says ‘A righteous man may fall seven times and rise again.’!

Go to God for help

God loves to help us when we ask, and He will strengthen us. Sometimes we fall into trials, or fall short of what we were hoping to accomplish. God has promised a way of escape, and if we pray He will guide us and help us to start again.

Use practical means

Sometimes as Christians we pray and that’s it. But the Bible also calls for diligence, and if we have already failed at something it makes sense practically to also look for what we can do differently. Maybe there are things we can do that will help, or friends that will give us accountability, or temptations to put far away so that we are less likely to fall.

The wonderful thing about understanding all this is that it then won’t bother us so much if we are convicted about something that we are doing wrong, or if we fail yet again in obeying God, or even just fail in our own goals.

We just need to remember that God has grace for us and knows that we fail, and all that we need to do is come to him and repent, and He will extend His mercy and forgiveness and help us rise again and get right back on our feet.

It's All About Him

Do you ever find that it takes you a while to remember what worship is really about?

In church this morning it wasn’t until the last verse of the second song that I suddenly remembered I was supposed to be thinking about the words, and I was supposed to be focusing on and worshipping God!!

Last night I was up for about 2 hours in the night with my 2 year old, so I was a bit tired, and I am out of practice since I have missed church for three weeks running due to the same 2 year old being ill. But those are just excuses, and I was quite shocked that it took me so long to realise where my mind was.

So I tried to refocus my thoughts, from thinking about how good the band was, and how I liked that song, and whether I should sing harmony or melody, to how great God is!

And very appropriately for me, the next song was, ‘When the Music Fades’ which says, ‘I’m coming back to the heart of worship, and it’s all about You, it’s all about You, Jesus.’ I grinned inwardly as I rebuked myself and tried to take that message on board.

In thinking about those words as I sung, I also realise that the words could be applied to our life too. It’s all about You, Jesus.

‘For to me, to live is Christ’ Phil 1:21

Why are we here? To know God, bring glory to God, and bear fruit in His name. It’s all about Him.

It’s amazing how it simplifies everything to focus on God. Other worries and problems become insignificant when we remember why we are here.

• It doesn’t matter what other people think of you, because what is really important is what God thinks.
• It doesn’t matter so much if nobody loves you, because God does.
• It doesn’t matter what things you gain or lose in this world, because at the end of the day ‘it’s all gonna burn’ and only what’s eternal will last.
• It doesn’t matter how hard tomorrow might look like it’s going to be, because the great God who made heaven and earth is for you, and is on your side!
• It doesn’t matter if you die tonight, because you will see Him who loves you more than anyone else, and will go to a place where there is no weeping or pain (assuming you are a Christian).

Now we just need to refocus our straying minds more often on what we are really here for: Him! Lord I pray that my life, my thoughts, and my ambitions would be all about You.

And He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again. 2 Cor 5:15

Introducing UK Fellowship Friday Blog Hop

Last year I was really struggling with feeling tired all the time. One thing that helped me more than anything was our weekly home fellowship. I was able to chat about the Bible (with no children to take up my thoughts!) and be inspired and encouraged by others.

The only problem was that during school holidays or times when something different was going on, and there were no home fellowships, I barely kept my head above water.

But there came a day when I wasn't counting down the days to my home fellowship anymore, and didn't need it quite so desperately... and that was when I started using Twitter!

Twitter introduced me to lots of Christian women (mainly in the USA) who are similar to me: stay at home mothers who homeschool. What was even better is that most of them had blogs.

I could read their blogs, and be encouraged, without even meeting them! That really demonstrates to me the value of fellowship via blogging, although of course we still need our home church fellowship as well.

Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing. 1 Thess 5:11

When I first started blogging, I searched for Christian bloggers in the UK and had difficulty finding them. Now I know of quite a few more, but many of them are not very widely known.

In contrast to that, the USA seems to have a gazillion Christian bloggers! Of course the country is a lot larger than ours, which might help with that too :)

When I come back to the UK from the USA I often get a feeling that there is a spiritual darkness over here. Many people seem depressed, and Christians find it difficult to live in victory.

So I wanted to have a link-up for Christian bloggers in the UK to encourage each other and to find others that are doing the same thing, as well as helping readers to find more Christian blogs.

If you know other Christian bloggers in the UK who blog about their faith please consider sharing this with them! I'm planning on hosting this blog hop each Friday.

Bible Reading Plans

Since it is a new year, I thought it would be a good time to post a few Bible reading plans. I should really have done it earlier than this, but little Josiah has had vomiting and diarrhoea since Friday, so I have been overtaken with sleepless nights, cleaning messes, lots of laundry and a clingy toddler!

I think it is really important that Christians know their Bible. If you only do a short devotional each day with a Bible verse and an explanation, you won’t get to know your Bible very quickly, and you will only know certain bits of it.

It is then a lot easier to be misled by wrong doctrine, or make wrong decisions, because you don’t really understand God’s ways.

I believe that all Christians should aim to read through their Bible regularly – the whole thing. That means that you will understand more of the fear of the Lord (which I get from reading the Old Testament), how to be wise (from Proverbs), and how great God is (from Psalms and of course many other books too).

And just generally you will understand more of how God thinks, what is right and wrong, what to do when trouble comes, how to counsel others, how to live in victory, what pleases God and lots more.

So here are a few different plans that you could think about using if you want to try and read through your Bible on a regular basis:

For a new Christian

One chapter or more a day, going through John first, then you could do Ephesians and Philippians, then the rest of the New Testament picking different books as you like. 1 John is good if you are not sure if you are really saved or not, and my husband recommends you save Revelation till last!

My husband’s plan

Read one to any amount of chapters a day, going through whatever book of the Bible you choose. Tick off the books you have read in the front of the Bible until they are all read through. Then start again.

He doesn’t like a schedule so this is a good system for him, and you get variety because if you’ve just read a hard book you can then pick an easy one afterwards. He reads with a Bible highlighter in hand, to highlight passages that stand out to him. Sometimes he will read a whole book in one sitting; other times he will meditate in depth on one chapter.

My Dad’s plan

Read one to any amount of chapters each day depending on time, going through the Bible from beginning to end and reading the study notes as you go along. He likes getting new Bibles and reads each new one this way.

I have tried reading the Bible through like this before but usually end up giving up somewhere around Leviticus or Numbers, because they are hard to understand and read! My son read the whole Bible through this way, but got stuck in Isaiah for a month or two, then went back to it and finished eventually. We are all different, so this works better for some than for others.

M’Cheyne’s plan

Read through the Old Testament once and the New Testament and Psalms twice in a year. Each day has a set 4 chapters to read. You can find it here.

This is the plan I have been using for years now, and is a wonderful way of reading through the Bible every year. I think of it as a four course meal, with variety each day. Every so often I try other methods of reading the Bible, but so far have always come back to this!

If I have to skip a day I usually don’t catch up on the missed day unless I have time, because otherwise you just find yourself getting more and more behind, and get discouraged and give up. I think it is better to miss those few chapters and figure you will get them in next year than end up giving up completely!

A good all-rounder

Get three bookmarks, and put one at Genesis 1, one at Ezra 1, and one at Matthew 1. Then read a chapter a day from each place, or more if you feel like it. If you want to add an extra course to your meal you can stick a bookmark in Psalms too!

If you want an easy way to read through the Bible in a year but aren’t very good at sticking to schedules I think this would be a good plan for you. It also means you read from different places which I like for variety. If you skip a day then it doesn’t matter because you come back to the same place the next day.

The only real issue with this plan is that you might forget which was the last chapter you read, but hopefully that would motivate you to concentrate more next time!

Professor Grant Horner’s plan

Read 10 chapters a day, or modify the plan to suit you. Doing it as given will take you through the New Testament four times, Acts and Proverbs 12 times, Psalms 2-4 times depending if you read one or 2 a day, the books of Moses 2 times, and the rest of the Old Testament about 1 and a half times in a year. You can read how to do it here.

I wouldn't start this plan unless you have already been reading at least a chapter a day, and can devote half an hour to reading. This is the system I am using at the moment, but I have modified it to read through the whole Old Testament twice, Proverbs once a month, and the New Testament and Psalms four times in a year. That comes out at 9 chapters a day (with 2 psalms).

It takes me about 30 minutes, with reflection and writing, which really is nothing like as bad as I thought it would be! And I love how the chapters comment on and complement each other when I am reading from so many different places.

I once read somewhere that every Christian should read through their Bible once a year, and if you’re in ministry you should read through it four times a year. That has stuck in my head as something to try and do one day, which is why this system appealed to me, along with a means to get to know my Bible and God better.

More Bible reading plans

Justin Taylor has put together a list of different plans at his blog over here, and John Piper writes about reading the Bible in 2012 here. There is also the Bible in 90 days which I know many have tried, but I haven't listed it because it seems like a hard one to keep up with for more than a one off!

For more help on having a devotional time, you might like to read my 10 tips for devotional times, or what I have written about my devotional basket. And please remember, this is not something you should feel is a rule or a demand of the Christian life. Rather it is something you would want to do because it will help you to know God and His will better, and live in victory.

Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper. Psalm 1:1-3

Please feel free to share what you have been doing or are planning to do with your Bible reading.
