Goshen: The State of Rest


As it was in the beginning so shall it be in the end. (Matthew 24:37)

We are not facing our first crisis in these times neither will we be facing the last one of this and many generations to come. Yet despite all that is happening around us as the people of God we rest safely and peacefully in Goshen not as fools but as wise aware of the times because the days are evil.

Goshen as revealed in the biblical text occurs in Genesis/Exodus as a place of safety; a space where the lands of the enemy could not touch Gods chosen people or where the ten Plagues of Egypt could not enter. Likewise, amidst the current global crisis rested assured that like the children of Israel in Egypt though you are tested and tried there is peace during the storm.

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in Godbelieve also in me. (St. John 14 v 1) Be comforted in this time of crisis for those around people of God because though the world is in that sort of mode those that call upon the name of the Lord are at peace knowing our salvation is in Christ and Christ alone. And as Moses said to the children of Israel stand still and see the salvation of the Lord; the people of God should be offering of the same word of encouragement, peace of mind and strength to those around them.

Even though the world is in crisis; Christ is…..

PATH FINDER OR FAULT FINDER

    There are two (2) kinds of people in this world; its either you’re a Path Finder or a Fault Finder. Do you see the good in everything and even the bad as well and use that to chart the way forward or do you get stuck on everything that has gone wrong and use that as justification to not move forward with your life?   Path finders are resolute and stand on the promises that were/are declared over their lives because for them nothing can stop them from advancing to the next phase of their life. Interestingly enough they don’t see failure as a stop sign but rather they see failure as an opportunity to pause and make an assessment to re-establish themselves before moving forward once again. The reverse is also true for Fault Finders instead of working with the ninety nine percent (99%) of things that have gone right they find the one percent (1%) and zoom into it so much so that it becomes magnified as the 99%.   What do you really see? Do you see possibi...

Many Hats

 For many years I've been wearing many hats yet the thing that hurts is that none of those "HATS" were mine. At anytime all the positions that I occupied could be literally taken from me at any point then it hit me. Why not create a hat made by me and only for me that I have control over, that works for me in the way that I want it to work.    So I took a leap of faith and launched out into many new experiences seeking to unearth the path that would guide me to that one discovery that I felt would make me satisfied. I wanted to have a "HAT" that would work even when I wasn't because its so designed that exceptional is the true highlight.  Still not sure what a "HAT" is then its basically anything that is tangible that can be taken from you in away that "cuts you to the core" until it leaves a scare of your heart. Yet it's something that you are able to gain strength from if you decide to get pass yourself and the fear of loosing out a...
