GUESTBLOG: What to do in the meantime?


 Recently, I find myself in a place where the predominant question that surrounds my spiritual life is “What do I do in the meantime?” When we read Psalm 27, an amazing Psalm by David that asks to dwell in the house of the Lord’ (Psalm 27:4), the Psalm closes with perhaps one of the hardest activities to do as a Christian: wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord’ (Psalm 27:14). 

In a post-modern world, waiting is something that is often unfamiliar to us as we become impatient at the traffic lights, especially when they are red and we even opt to use ready meals as opposed to enjoying the long process of preparing a meal. It becomes clear when we study how we operate in the 21st Century the trait of patience and waiting appears to be scarce.

GUESTBLOG: Are Our Bodies Really That Important?

Our bodies are made up of millions of cells, hundreds of bones and muscles, over a
mile worth of nerves, arteries and veins but amazingly they are each working in unison every
second of every day to keep us alive. Something that we hardly take time to think about. It is
so often the case that when we forget about the work that something or somebody is
doing we don't appreciate it nearly as much as we ought to. Our bodies are not only
amazing they are the 'cherry on the top' of God's intricate plan of creation. The
account in Genesis 1+2 reaffirms this.
