“Surely it is not I, Lord?” (Mt 26:25)
But just before the wheels of the passion are set in motion, Judas says in the hearing of all that such a betrayal, for him, would be unthinkable. Trouble is—for Judas as for any of us—it’s not unthinkable. At all.
God show me how good my life can get, because I understand that this is not just a prayer of prosperity. This is a prayer for transformation. So God show me how good my life can get, because I want to be the best version of myself.

The Bible records the literal weight of Goliath’s armour: 125 pounds, 15 ounces. Every time David took down his tent and pitched it somewhere else, the armour went with him. Why? Because it doubled as a daily reminder of God’s faithfulness to him
The word remember recurs almost 250 times in Scripture. And there is a reason why. We tend to remember what we should forget and forget what we should remember. That’s why God is always telling us to build altars or make memorials. #ucbwordfortoday

I may have been through the fire, the famine, and the flood, but I know it’s my time of favour. It’s my time to see more of your goodness in my life.’ #ucbwordfortoday
Not til the loom is silent and the shuttles cease to fly, will God unroll the canvas and explain the reason why. The dark threads are as needful in the Weaver’s skilful hand, as the threads of gold and silver in the pattern He has planned.’ - Grant Colfax Tullar. 1Cor 13:12 #ucb
‘My life is but a weaving between my Lord and me; I cannot choose the colours, He worketh steadily. Oft times He weaveth sorrow and I, in foolish pride, forget He sees the upper, and I the underside.
