God is with us. How do we bear this out? God is with us. How do we bear this out? In the places of deepest despair, pain and suffering, how is God present? Is God present? In the places of death, is God with us? How is God with us? To be honest, I struggle to answer these questions in a logical way. All I can say is yes, God is present. Yes, God is with us, but how I would translate this to the people facing suffering and pain…I have no idea, because simply saying the words “yes, God is with you” might not be enough. Simply saying the words is not enough, but words have the strength to form us. Jesus comes to us as the Word and this living Word, continues to form, transform and renew us. And maybe through this living Word, we are empowered and challenged to act and live out our faith. So let the Word unsettle you and let the Word of God live in you, for God is doing amazing things throughout you and us. This week think about the Word of God that continues to inspire you and the word of God that continues to unsettle you? How are you bearing witness to this Word? How are you living out this Word?

‘Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind…..’ Romans 12:2 (NIV)
Why do we need a renewing of our mind? There may be many answers to this question, but let me give you one. It is a temptation for us to gaze into the future, instead of living in the present. Jesus said in his Sermon on the Mount,“…..don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.” Matthew 6:34 (NLT)
When we gaze into the future our mind plays tricks with us, and we tend to worry about what might or might not happen. Worrying about the future actually blocks our relationship with God, and prevents us from receiving Jesus’ peace and serenity. So what is the answer? ‘Don't worry about anything, but in all your prayers ask God for what you need, always asking him with a thankful heart. And God's peace, which is far beyond human understanding, will keep your hearts and minds safe in union with Christ Jesus.’ Philippians 4:6-7 (GNT)
So…...ask, say thanks at the time of asking, then just rest in God’s peace.
