John 17:9 I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me, for they are yours.

How often do you pray for other Christians? Not just the famous ones or even the infamous ones, but the ones standing next to you!

Jesus took time out to pray for the disciples, even though He knew they had this personal relationship with God fairly well sorted, He still prayed for them.

Sometimes it is the one standing in front of you giving you advice who needs the prayer because they are always giving and helping others.

Take time out to pray for your church people.

John 7:41 Others said, “He is the Messiah.” Still others asked, “How can the Messiah come from Galilee?

The people from Galilee must had had a bad reputation with the Jewish leaders, one which prevented them from seeing how their own Messiah could possible come from there!

Sometimes we too have blinkers on because we think other people are not worthy or we think we know they are bad…

I still get things wrong and I still have to catch myself from pre-judging others just because they come from a different place to me… even though I am the foreigner in this land!

Psalm 104:31 May the glory of the Lord endure forever; may the Lord rejoice in his works

Let us rejoice in the world God has given us and allow us to praise Him for all He does in the natural world around us!

After so long having been in hospital and recovery afterward, after so long of my garden being neglected, it continues to thrive during spring time and amazes me!

God has surely given us something to be proud of and something to look after and cherish. Stop and give time to the natural world around you today… and praise God for giving this all to you!
