In Frozen, on the morning of Queen Elsa’s coronation, Anna oversleeps. A servant wakes her and reminds her it’s her sister’s coronation. Still half asleep, Anna says. ‘My sister’s conoration … IT’S CORONATION DAY!’

My daughters are really diffcult to wake in the mornings! That’s unless something exciting is happening. On those days, they wake up super early and can’t wait to get ready. I wonder how members of the Royal Family will react when waking up today.

On a recent KA! JAM spread, we thought about Jesus’ promise to return. In Matthew 24:36–51, Jesus reminds his disciples that no one knows exactly when he’ll come back. He tells them to make sure they’re always ready. So, are you excited and ready for the day Jesus returns as king or are you being a bit of a sleepyhead like Anna? I know which one I’d prefer to be.

Trust in God’s Promises

They say that moving house is one of the most stressful things you can do. Thankfully, it’s been a few years since my family moved house, but I can con rm moving home is stressful!

One of the things that makes moving house stressful is that it’s unsettling. For weeks after we moved, our daughters kept asking when we were going home. They understood eventually, but it took them quite a while to realise that the strange house we were staying in was our home.

So I can only imagine how Abram felt when one day God told him to move his household to a strange place miles away from home. And this didn’t happen just once – God told Abram to up sticks and move

READ THE COMMENT BELOW ABOUT TRUSTING GOD TO KEEP HIS PROMISES

says Justin Reeves

loads of times!

The reason we moved house is because we wanted our family to live somewhere better – the house we moved to has more space than our last house, the garden’s bigger and it’s on a nicer road. But why did Abram keep on moving? He kept moving because he trusted God and God had promised a better life for him and his wife.

This story might have happened a long time ago, in a land far away, but it still reminds us to trust God with everything. We might not hear God speaking to us as Abram did, but God is always there for us. Just as he promised to look after Abram, he’s promised to look after us. And God always keeps his promises.
