Consider this...

THERE is a very interesting email doing the rounds – you may have received it – it is full of brilliant anagrams - great play on words.

Things like “The eyes” when rearranged read “They see” or “The Morse code” which becomes “Here come dots” and “Slot machines” can rearrange to “Cash lost in me”. Check them out – don’t take my word for it! It is amazing how the second set of words relate so closely to the original.

It’s New Year and many of us will make a set of words -‘resolutions’ - we will resolve to change many things – and the resolution - the outworking - will have little relevance to the original, unlike the clever anagrams.

That is reality - we try to improve ourselves, but don’t always make the grade. Revd Murray Grant once said on Thought for the Day on Radio Two “The real world is a world where things go wrong, a world where we have to get stuck in and get our hands dirty. A world where we can learn from the terrible mistakes we make” [Pause for Thought page 79 Hodder & Stoughton] that’s a good resolution – ‘to learn from the terrible mistakes we make’ it is pretty certain that we will make mistakes in 2010 – but will we learn from them

Here’s two verses of scripture from Ephesians [Chapter 1 v 17 – 19] to start off 2010. “I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, The Glorious Father, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know Him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints and His incomparably great power for us who believe.”

One more anagram - ‘Presbyterian’ – when you re-arrange those letters you get “Best in Prayer” - There’s something to achieve in 2010.
