The voice of truth

Wishing I was by the sea again!


Recently I have been trying my best to be more disciplined with getting into Gods word daily. Some days it has been a real struggle, but this morning was such an unexpected joy.

I have been working through a devotion book which splits Hebrews up into 26 days, so you read a few verses a day and then have some reflection time. It has been such a great way to access the bible and be fed daily, without the daunting experience.

Would reccomend to anybody wanting to get into the word! There's a ton of physical copies on Amazon, but there's also digital ones avaliable for free.

Anyway this morning, I was reflecting onto this new season I feel God is taking me into. I have felt a big spiritual battle these past few months and my heart has been pulled in all sorts of diirections. So God has been the only consistent thing I have felt close to me.

I was worshiping and the song 'voice of truth' by Casting Crowns came on and man I was gone. That song felt like it was speaking so directly about my life and current battles.

The whole song spoke to me on such a spiritual level, but I would like to share some words in particular.

 "Oh what I would do to have
The kind of strength it takes to stand before a giant
With just a sling and a stone"

These lyrics are talking about when David kills Goliath with just a sling and stone. A massive giant that would have taken armies of men and weapons to take down.

But nope, God came through for David as he always does. It's such an extraordinary story of how God's power always overides what the world says. All David did was be obidient to Gods word. It's a great story to read and reflect on.

Whether the giants in your life are COVID-19, Relationships, Work, Sin etc- God can and will defeat them for you as he did for David. I want to encourage you that whatever season you are walking in to- there will likely to giants in your way.

BUT God is our redeemer and refuse, so trusting in him will provide the strength and comfort we need to battle the giants we face.

I also wanted to remind you that God protecting us does not always look like him removing that battle all together. In some cases, he may well do but not always. Often our trials are a time where we grow and are stretched, so don't expect the easy way out.

When you look back on your own trials you have gotten through, I bet your character developed and you grew and matured? He has done it once and he WILL do it again.

Stay safe and keep pressing into the word in this testing time,

Charlie x

Comparision

By
So i guarantee everyone reading this has compared themselves to another person or object at least once. Comparison is very common in teenagers especially, but most of us do it. In a way it is only part of our instincts as we all get envious, but it is also really unhealthy. If you're constantly wishing to be something else, then you can't really ever love yourself can you? Then how do you expect somebody else too if you can't. There is a fine line between passively saying "I like her hair I wish mine fell like that" and saying "I like her hair, why can't I be like her. she's so much of a better person than me". There will be times where you will be jealous of somebody's appearance or their talent or personality etc. But their qualities or skills do not define your qualities or skills. What I mean by that Is just because somebody's qualities are high, it doesn't make you any better than them or any worse. Nobody can compare themselv

Are books losing popularity?

Are books losing popularity?  So personally i believe they are. Now let me explain my reasons why. So many years ago before technology most people would read books as a pastime out of enjoyment. Now that color TV'S, mobile phones and the internet are around less and less people are reading books. Also a high number of the population would prefer to watch the film as it's easier and requires less concentration. This means that the majority of people my generation (Late 1990's+) are just not interested in reading in fear of looking uncool and like a "nerd". Now obviously it is in the curriculum to read when you first start school, so most people can actually read they just chose not too. Me being an avid reader and lover of books cannot see this nonsense. but unfortunately it's the truth of today's society. So my second reasoning is fairly similar to the first as it's also down to technology. So i'm sure you've all heard of E-readers and ki

Religion...

By
Now I know religion is quite a conversational subject as every body has their own beliefs due to free will. But I would like to just explain it from my own belief and what I think on the matter. The religion I follow and believe in is Christianity and I have done for the past 8 months. Being a christian is a huge part of my daily life and I take pride in the fact I have a father as amazing as god. It's so reassuring to me that one day I will be reunited with god in heaven after serving him here on earth for many years. It saddens me that people get mocked, beaten up, even killed for believing and serving god. Most Christians mean no harm to anyone and all they wish to do is praise gods creations and spread the word of his gospel. Within my church family I know some pretty amazing people and I've had the pleasure of appearing in their lives due to god and I find that phenomenal that one god can have so much power. I believe that god gave his only son away to forgive the sins o
