Another great morning at church, with an excellent message from the Lord through Pastor Simon on ‘How to recognize God Working in Your Life’. I got quite a lot out of this message and also believe it’s a very important message, especially to new Christian who have not experienced God’s hand in their life yet. Pastor Simon reminded us that searching for miracles is not necessarily how God will work in your life. A miracle will not bring you closer to God and it is by Faith that the bible teachers us, not by sight to believe in the Lord. Look for the still, quiet voice in your life and don’t always talk, listen so you will hear God.
Also remember in that time of rebuking from the Lord that He is working in your life even if it doesn’t feel great at the time. Stop and recognize Him and find joy in what He is doing. Isn’t it just a blessing that He is working in your life, even if it’s not in the way of blessings? Well I think it is! The Lord loves you today, yesterday and tomorrow, the same always. Find joy in Him because as Pastor Simon preached, you will not find satisfaction like the Lord can give you anywhere else. Money, status, big house, career or lots of expensive jewellery is never going to satisfy you and I can say that because I have seen it in my life. Yes, these things can bring you some joy and make you happy but they are not going to satisfy you and there will always be that one more expensive ‘thing’ that you will want next.
If you do not know God as your personal Savour, your best friends than PLEASE do all that you can to meet with Him. Go to your local church (whether that be us at Palmwoods Baptist Church, or just a church near you), get yourself a bible and read it or just contact somebody who knows the Lord. You are more than welcome to email us at Palmwoods Baptist Church, we have plenty of loving people who know the Lord and would be MORE than happy to help you meet with Him too! Your life will be changed forever and just like me, you will find it difficult to wipe that smile off your face when God is in your heart!

May the Lord bless your week and life. I’ll leave you with the scripture verse from our bulletin this week.
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me.
Galatians 2:20
Out the front!
