When the storm is raging, and we're too tired to row we can weigh anchor and ride out the storm. The hope we have in Jesus Christ does the same for us.

The invitation to come close to God and meet with Him has been extended for thousands of years. The Lord's Table is pointed to throughout Scripture, God fulfilled His plans and sent Jesus to make it possible to be washed of our sin and have true communion with Him.

What are you craving right now? If it's some sense of certainty then you're not alone. Scripture shows us that God wants us to have certainty about our eternal salvation. This provides us with a sense of love, acceptance, significance and permanence.

How do we deal with being warned? Do we listen and respond, or get offended or ignore the warnings? When God warns us in the Scriptures it's because He loves us. We need to be careful to listen to the warning, respond and trust in God's grace and love.

How do we know what God's will is for our lives? Hebrews 6:1-3 starts us on a journey of asking three questions which help us to answer that question.

Are we trying to please God in our own strength thinking that it's easier than trusting Him? Every aspect of our faith and lives are subject to His power and work, we must trust, believe and surrender to His will.

Through Hebrews we find out that while we start out as spiritual infants, God calls us to grow and mature as we learn from His Word and apply it. We can't live on milk, and have others chew our spiritual food for us forever. God loves and nurtures us as infants, but doesn't want us to remain that way.

The last few months have seen so many well laid plans fall apart. We can not know the future and so we need to entrust our plans to the One who does. The figure of Melchizedek show how perfectly God planned the ministry of His Son Jesus. As we get ready to start again after lock-down, how can we ensure our plans fit in with God's?
