Psalms 100:1 Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.

Don’t you just want to get out there and shout out your praises to God alongside hundreds of other people?

I know I have missed my summer of Christian gatherings where we can be with thousands of other Christians and all sing out in praise and worship together...

But we are in the middle of a global crisis and we need to act accordingly so we can protect one another.

Have you thought about meeting together with a single friend so you can talk about Christ together – surely it will help our well-being, both spiritually and mentally.

Luke 18:32 He will be delivered over to the Gentiles. They will mock him, insult him and spit on him;

What would you do if you knew you were going to get beaten up? Would you still go to get beaten up, or would you try to find a way out of it?

Be honest, we would all try to avoid getting beaten up because it’s not a nice thing to happen to you!

We know Jesus was not looking forward to it and He did ask God if there was any other way other than being crucified for us...

But, because of His love for us, He stepped forward and allowed this all to happen to Him...

Luke 9:17 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.

When we stop trying to do it all, we find we can do more by allowing others to work with us...

It is hard to let go and allow others to do more when you have spent a lot of time being in control, but God can do so much more when you allow Him to work!

I love watching people thrive when they allow God to work through and with them instead of trying to do things their own way.

I know I have failed many times when I have tried to get it all the way I think it should be done – God can do so much more – let Him!
