No Place Like Home

Monday, 27 September 2021 by ccnzwebadmin

“One thing I ask from the LORD, this only do I seek; That I may dwell in the house of the LORD, all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and to seek Him in His temple.”

(Psalm 27v4 NIV)

From the age of 5 years old when I was in primary school, and the years growing up to college, I can remember walking along the main road to school and home again. I was always so glad to arrive home and be able to change my sweaty, dirty clothes, collapse onto the couch, and most of the time have mother welcome me with her wonderful smile and cheerful hello! On the odd occasion also arriving home to the pleasant smell of mother’s baking.

Years later I found myself in a job that required me to travel extensively around the world, and I would often go to countries far away from home like Pakistan, China, Thailand, Indonesia, USA and others. But as interesting and wonderful as those places were, whenever I was flying home and flew over Auckland City, I would always look out the window and know I’d soon be home to the warmth and joy of my wife and children and I’d say to myself “There’s no place like home!”     

In our scripture today, David the Psalmist knew how wonderful it was to be in the presence of the LORD and he made it his supreme desire. Home to the Psalmist was in the presence of the LORD! it was his ‘go to place’!

This is what I believe GOD wants us all to enjoy, the warmth and knowledge of His presence! He has promised us His presence would always be with us. “Lo I am with you always!” (Matt 28v20) GOD’s presence was faithfully with the children of Israel every day! Not just for Easter and Christmas and when we feel we’re good enough to have His smile, no He was with them every day and every night! “By day in a pillar of Cloud, and by night in a pillar of Fire” (Exodus 13v21).

When a Christian person dies we often hear it said that “they’re at home now with the LORD”. David the Psalmist didn’t wait until he died, he said ‘I’m asking GOD for this one thing, to live with Him in His home my whole life long! That’s in the presence of the LORD!

Wherever you may be, remember He is with you and like David, there’s no place like home!

God’s GPS Finds Us

Thursday, 16 September 2021 by ccnzwebadmin

 “God is patient,…He wants everyone to turn from sin and no one to be lost!” (2 Peter 3v9 CEV)

Growing up in the neighbourhood of Kingsland, some of the kids in our street would play in the gully and bushes nearby. We’d on occasion find a caterpillar hanging from a leaf waiting to become a chrysalis, and being the naughty, impatient children we were, we’d sometimes try and ‘help’ things along!

Of course this would only make things worse and the caterpillar would be lost and die. We did not have the patience to allow the hand of God to bring about what is His perfect plan in changing the caterpillar into a beautiful butterfly!

Our verse today reminds us how patient God is with His creation in desiring we all come to be saved! I want to share with you a story I read some years ago, so I’ve dug it out of my archives, and I know it will be an encouragement to you!

A London bus driver was assigned to shuttle passengers to special crusade services with Billy Graham at Wembley Stadium. When one of the passengers invited him into the crusade to listen he declined. The following year he moved to New York, and when Billy Graham was speaking at Madison Square Garden the man’s job again was shuttling people to the meetings.

One day as he arrived and parked his bus to allow passengers to disembark, a lady asked him if he’d like to join them inside. Once again he politely declined. He later married an Australian woman and eventually ended up working in Sydney where, surprisingly, he was again assigned to drive people to the stadium where Billy Graham was preaching. This time when he was invited he figured there was no escape, so he gave in and went inside.

Looking back he says, “No matter where I went I was confronted with Billy Graham, so I went to hear him and committed my life to Christ! It was the best decision I ever made.”

Jesus said “For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save the lost!” (Luke 19v10). No matter where this bus driver went he was never out of range for GOD’S GPS. The Psalmist also said “You hem me in….You have laid Your hand upon me…where can I go from Your Spirit?” (Psalm 139v5,7).

Do you have someone like that bus driver who is dear to your heart? Keep praying for them, He knows all about them and where they’re at! As you pray, His amazing grace comes into play!
