Hillsong - "Still" with lyrics

Just an awesome song - enjoy

How can we adapt ?

Well its been awhile since I have sat down to write something and since my move down to Cape Town things have been a little crazy for me – crazy in the sense that everything has felt all upside down for me, if that makes any sense.

Why did i feel upside down ? well its quite simple really and my reasons are as follows:

I moved to Cape Town as i was unemployed and it was where i got employment , My routine changed, I had to adapt to new surroundings, Weather is different, Scenery is different, peoples culture is different, roads are different, everything of what i been used to is just different and i moved 1400km away from everything i was used to.

Cape Town is a world famous holiday destination even for South Africans and everybody worldwide knows table mountain for which it is most famous and i have found that as soon as you end up in a place that is regarded as a great holiday destination people usually say “wow that is so cool – you live in Cape Town”

Well, yes i do live in Cape Town but you know what ? Be it me or you it might be cool but we still have the same life issues daily and just because one might stay in a great place does not mean one always feels great.

Life will always have the same challenges no matter where you live.

I believe that when we are faced with any major changes in life we are unable to face it on our own and in Ephesians we learn about the “ARMOUR OF GOD” – some will say yes but the armour of God is to protect us against evil – yes but God wants us o feel comfortable and an uneasy feeling means we do not have God close enough as God always wants the best for all of us and he has given us what we need to get through all situations that make us uneasy and  Ephesians 6:10-18 says:

10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11Put on the full armour of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13Therefore put on the full armour of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.

God tells us what to do – feeling uneasy is not what he wants so all that is needed is the ARMOUR OF GOD – THE ARMOUR is what gets us through all situations and most importantly to know that JESUS is always by our side and no matter where we go or end up - we always have a helping hand close by – His name is JESUS

Just reach out and take the armour and may God Bless and Protect you always.

Thank You Lord
