Day 74

Let's see how many we can get done on a day off. Onto business then

Today’s readings


Numbers 2:10-3:51
Luke 1:39-56
Psalm 34:1-10


Not a lot to say from Numbers. Mushi's a fun name :) The only thing I can really see is how God provides for those that are focused on what His will is. I sometimes wish that will was clearer but I do know that when our motives are right, provision comes!

Into the New Testament and you know how women witter and squeal over the slightest thing? Well imagine the cacophany when they actually have something important to celebrate! This isn't just a pair of shoes or a snog with that boy they both like but two miracle pregnancies which will change the whole world. But let's think about the joy that really flows through these two people. I keep struggling to cheer up at the moment and be positive about things which isn't usual for me but here the Bible shows us that what can make us happiest is an encounter with God. Now I'm not wanting to be pregnant of course... but why did we like Soul Survivor so much? The music and the mates might have helped but what made it amazing was the closeness with our God in one place. Let's be seeking that to give us the smiles.

Finally our Psalm starts and we get loads and loads of praise to God for all the things He does. But I think what's important is how God helps us feel. We're always looking for solid things but I think the best things that we get from God are the feelings of peace and joy that come free of any benefit. If you're struggling then wallow in a bit of abstract happiness for a bit!

And that's your lot. Onto the next one
