Do Not Be Alarmed By The Fact That Jesus Christ Knows What We Are Thinking
Good leaders and poor leaders, but spiritual leaders in particular, need to be aware of the fact that Jesus Christ knows what we are thinking. He knew the thoughts of men then and He knows the thought of men today. The Lord knows the thoughts of men and he knows that they are futile, writes the Psalmist, and singer Ian White takes these words for the refrain in one of his superb songs inspired by the Psalms.
We have been reading in Luke Chapter 11 where Jesus Christ has been casting out an evil spirit and He has had to listen to stupid unwise critical comments.

Moses has led the people of Israel across the Red Sea - and God - the same God and Father of our Saviour and Lord, Jesus Christ - had performed that mighty and amazing miracle - rescuing and saving His people - and dealing with those who chased them seeking to enslave them again.
Faith to Sustain Us
Kim tells of God giving us faith to sustain us.
God gives us faith to sustain us. No matter what your tragedy is or was, you and I are still here for a reason. You might not realize it, but you are living by faith to sustain you. We can’t see it but God gives it to us to sustain us. We’re still here aren’t we? Why? Because we have faith there must be something more for us. If we didn’t have it we might just choose to end it all. In other words, If this is all there is why keep living? Why spend the little energy we have left from our tragedy to keep on going in a place we don’t want to be anyway?
