‘re’

no not the subject some students go through in school, but these two letters have got me thinking the past few days “re“.

In life we all like and need an injection of energy, encouragement, hope, vitality etc but the past number of days I’ve been thinking about many words that we sing and quote in the christian life.

Words like….. renew, revive, revision, re-fire, refuel, recreate, reenter, reform, re-adapt, reaffirm … to mention a few,

the facts are life is hard for everyone at times, for some the odd time, for others all the time, but in life we have ‘RE’ moments, when we are challenged to pursue a new thing, a new way, a new idea, a new strategy, a fresh desire, we are inspired to reach higher, to look beyond the four walls that we live within, to risk all for God.

These moments I am now naming ‘Reality Encounters’, those moments when we don’t care how odd we are, its all about God, those times when standing out for God will maybe mean us loosing ‘friends’, but He is the one we know we will never lose, those times when tears fall uncontrollably but we don’t care what people think, in life it is in these Reality Encounters when change happens, this is when stale vision gets RE visioned, when new ideas we had are RE newed, when passionate fire feelings for God are RE fired, when ideas God created in us, suddenly are RE created.

My prayer today is that you will have RE moments, that’s when life changes in the direction of Gods Will!
