Sometimes it’s really tough to believe that God is in charge, that He knows what is going on and is okay with the way things are.

There’s lots of stuff in us that is resistant to being broken down – but He chooses & uses the adversity that moulds us into the image of His Son. To the people of his day, Christ’s message was revolutionary, world changing – I’m pretty sure that it still is. Keep doing what you know to do, change will come, it always does….it’s important to stay true to whatever God has entrusted to us, and believe that as it grows, it has to change.

Personally, I like acorns and oak trees. We can’t have one without the other – it’s a wonder that an entire oak tree is locked up in a tiny acorn. But the Oak is also a product of its location, the weather, elevation, and so much else. We know an oak when we see one, yet no two are the same. Each tree supports a diverse community of animals, insects, plants & fungi – but we notice only what we look for…

I’ll keep praying for you all, whoever you may be – you are never alone.

A quick thought – who is it in our society that is ready for a truly radical change?

Thanks Laird this really encouraged the meeting… me and Ken.

One of the scriptures for today was :

‭Amos‬ ‭5:23‭-‬24‬ ‭NRSV‬
Take away from me the noise of your songs; I will not listen to the melody of your harps. But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.

Maybe this is the challenge…
