Flex your Muscles

Hedge trimming is not something I do often but this has been a week of it; David Carter was employed to trim a hedge that was 4 metres high and more than 150 metres long! On the face of it just a few days work... but this became something of a Team exercise with Themis, Jamie & myself all getting involved. The thing about it is that you find muscles you didn't know you had and today, wow, do those muscles ache.... still it's good to know they exist and with a little effort they can be brought into shape.

This made me think about treasure stored in secret places. The word of God says there is treasure stored in secret places and if we begin to dig a little, we will find that when we encountered the Lord he invested amazing treasure in our lives through the work of the Holy Spirit.

At such a time as this when the world feels more unstable than ever, its not natural ability that will change the world - but by drawing from that invested treasure, the Lord will take ordinary folk and cause you to flex you Spiritual Muscles - draw from that Treasure and change your world.... and Yes, those ragged hedges look sharp & transformed!

I really think you should have asked permission before posting a picture of me exercising with my weights!

Blessings & greetings from an autumnal England.
