Sunday 1st May - Strengthend by the Spirit

Good evening. We have had a really lovely day and have enjoyed the sunshine and time to relax. We went to church this morning and had a real blessed time of fellowship. It was great to be able to worship the Lord and hear His word preached. I went out with the Target age group (11-13yr olds) and it was really good to be able to spend time with them too. I slept much better than I had the night before and which helped me be able to get on. We have rested tonight and taken time for one another. We watched 'The Voyage of the Dawn Treader' which was a real encouragement of what kingdom is to come.

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader ends with the children going back to earth with Aslan (Christ) and he says I am with you on earth. He was talking about the Holy Spirit. Colossians 1 v11-14 talks of the this when it says 'being strengthened with all power according to His glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the holy people of light. For He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the Kingdom of the Son He loves in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.' We are able to cope with the situations we find ourselves in, through the strength of the Spirit and the Lord being everything we need.

Verse of the day: Philippians 4 v 12-13

Prayer for the day: Praise the Lord that He does NOT leave us on earth alone. Praise Him for our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. Pray for God to heal my body of the cancer. Pray for God to help us sleep well and our bodies to be upheld physically by Him. Pray for our families to be also strengthened by the Spirit. Pray for people to come to know Him.
