You Know All My Thoughts You discern my thoughts from afar. Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O Lord, you know it altogether. Psalm 139 Research is done on a myriad of topics across the globe, so it probably won’t surprise you to hear that a university in Canada embarked on a… Continue reading I Am Fully Known (2/3)
Author: Carolyn Dawson
I am a writer of Bible devotions, a writer of songs and occasionally a writer of poems. I am also a Christian, so I suppose you could call me a Christian writer. My first book - aptly named 'The Narrow Path' will be published in September 2024. I live in Northern Ireland and when I get the opportunity, I love to travel.
I Am Fully Known (1/3)
You Know All My Ways O Lord, you have searched me and known me! You know when I sit down and when I rise up; You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. Psalm 139 How many people really know you? Is there anyone that you have… Continue reading I Am Fully Known (1/3)
Habitual or Ritual
For I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings. Hosea 6:6 Getting into the habit of practicing these 5 elements of prayer, meditation, generosity, stillness and fasting is spiritually beneficial, but they must come from a place of obedience to God’s word, for the soul desire of experiencing… Continue reading Habitual or Ritual
Fasting – A Healthy Habit
But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, that your fasting may not be seen by others but by your Father who is in secret. Matthew 6:18 There are various times throughout scripture that we are given access to someone’s personal time of fasting – Moses, Elijah, David, Daniel. The occasions may… Continue reading Fasting – A Healthy Habit
Stillness – A Restorative Habit
I find it so hard to sit or stand still for any length of time because I’m just too fidgety. Even at night, if I manage to get my body to lie still, my mind is constantly replaying conversations or playing the ‘what-if’ game. It’s exhausting. I have two verses that relieve the night-time mind-agitation… Continue reading Stillness – A Restorative Habit
Generosity – A Pleasing Habit
Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his deed. Proverbs 19:17 Living generously is about far more than money; it’s about being generous with whatever the Lord has blessed you with; it’s about being generous of spirit. Don’t hide your talents where no-one can see them,… Continue reading Generosity – A Pleasing Habit
Meditation – A Protective Habit
The LORD is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? Psalm 27:1 Life is a busy place and sometimes there doesn’t seem to be enough hours in the day to fit everything in. The ‘to-do’ list never gets shorter and we are usually juggling more thoughts than we can handle, which… Continue reading Meditation – A Protective Habit
Prayer – An Essential Habit
Pray then like this: “Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name” Matthew 6:9 Prayer was essential to the Lord Jesus, and he was in the habit of rising early, going someplace quiet, and talking to his Father. These conversations were vital to everything that the Lord would face and what he was… Continue reading Prayer – An Essential Habit
A Grand Design
By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established; by knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches. Proverbs 24:3,4 Not everyone has been blessed with wisdom, understanding and knowledge, but it is available to all of us. James tells us, ‘If any of you lacks wisdom, let him… Continue reading A Grand Design
The Great Commission
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:19,20 The Great Commission certainly lives… Continue reading The Great Commission
