Shalom,
If you are anything like me, you will know that overcoming temptation and sin can be a real struggle. Having someone on your side to pray for you really helps. Stuart Webster is one of those people for me. A couple of weeks ago he sent me an amazing prayer he had written. It was such a blessing to me, that I want to share it with you. Scroll to the bottom to read it.
It’s also been over five years since Resisting the Devil was published, which many of you have read. It’s probably time for a refresher, so get yourself a copy of the audio book, read by Robert Prins. You can find it at https://www.booktopia.com.au/resisting-the-devil-robert-prins/audiobook/9798868750908.html and then you can listen to it any time!
I hope you enjoy today’s Thinky Thing.

Isaiah 66
GOOD CHOICE OR GOOD LUCK?
If we wake up and discover that we are in the kingdom of God on resurrection morning, it won’t be because we are just lucky. And if we wake up on resurrection morning with weeping and gnashing of teeth, that won’t be just bad luck either. It all comes down to choices.
God says this about the people that rejected him: “These have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights in their abominations; I also will choose harsh treatment for them and bring their fears upon them, because when I called, no one answered, when I spoke, they did not listen; but they did what was evil in my eyes and chose that in which I did not delight.” (Isaiah 66 v 3 – 4 ESV).
So much for those who choose evil. If we want to choose good, we need to choose the opposite. Choose God’s way, delight in righteousness, respond when God calls, do good, choose the things that delight God. Today’s choices will make a huge difference to God’s choice for you in the future.
How are we going to choose to live our lives today?
May God grant us wisdom to live in his ways this week.
With love in our Lord,
Robert

Have you ever wondered what all the honking is about as Canadian geese fly from America to Canada in a vee formation each year? There is more to a honk than a goose call. Take a gander and prepare for goosebumps as you wing your way into new research that will cook the goose of older theories. This extraordinary story will knock you down with a feather. Honk for support.
