Thank you God that Your church is for the nations. Reason no. 447 :)

Thank you God that 1 John 4:18 says: 'There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear...' Thank you God that when I'm afraid there's an invitation for You to reveal Your love to me again. As we encounter You, our fears become less plausible, and instead we see You, something far more magnificent. (Ideas from Phil Wilthew). Reason no. 446 :)

Thank you for 2 good nights sleep in a row, having slept badly for nearly a week before.

In peace I will lie down and sleep,

    for you alone, Lord,

    make me dwell in safety.

Thank you God for the power there is in speaking in tongues, in other languages. Last weekend I was reminded of a story I heard a few years ago of a lady called: Jackie Pullinger who began praying in tongues daily and consequently person after person encountered Jesus and set free from drug addictions!

Thank you God for William Booth and all that you did through him in this nation. I love how when he had a meeting with Queen Victoria, he arrived late because he meet someone who was in poverty along the way. He knew what was more important. When he arrived and she asked what was the reason for his success in reaching the poor, he picked up some chalk and drew a circle on the floor. He went and stood in it and said that everything in the circle belonged to God. William Booth gave everything to God and God used him to impact a nation and influence history.

Moses murdered an Egyptian, yet God still used him to lead God's people out of captivity! Reason no. 442 :)

It's amazing how Moses was kept safe in a basket down the river Nile and was found by Pharaoh's daughter. Having given up her son for protection, it ends up being Moses' mum who was chosen to nurse him (out of all the Hebrew women it could have been!)...definitely a God thing! From not knowing what would happen to her son as she put him in the basket, God allowed her to watch and care for him as he grew a bit older. Reason no. 441 :)
