Another day in Paradise, if you like a bit of frost first up. Rode up to the entrance of the Mount Kaputar National Park about 67 km round trip. #cycling #Narrabri

Praising Him is not something we do because we feel good; rather it is an act of obedience.  Merlin Carothers

Another frosty morning with the temptation touching 0. A nice ride past Bunnings and around the edge of town. #cycling #Narrabri

But His perfect plan is to bring each of us into fellowship and communion with Him, and so He allows circumstances and incidents which will bring our wrong attitudes to our attention. Merlin Carothers

Foggy one day, frosty the next! A beautiful but cold morning today. Nice ride to Jacks Creek and Gun Club Roads #cycling #Narrabri

Jesus didn’t promise to change the circumstances around us, but He did promise great peace and pure joy to those who would learn to believe that God actually controls all things. Merlin Carothers

Thick fog this morning. A cold and damp ride to Haire Drive 😀 #cycling #Narrabri

Satan can’t do a thing to us unless he first gets God’s permission. Remember God allowed Satan to test Job. The only time God gives Satan permission is when God sees the tremendous potential in the thing passing through us and coming out as joy, pure joy! Merlin Carothers

We say we believe in God. But do we really believe that He controls every detail of our lives, or do we think He’s off on more important business? Jesus said that God knows how many hairs we have on our heads. So why can’t we believe that He is more intimately concerned with every detail of our lives than we are ourselves? Merlin Carothers

A cloudy morning on my ride to Turrawan and Tariaro. The cloud stopped it getting too cold overnight but then stopped the sun from warming us. I love this stop at the Namoi River. It is always so peaceful here. #narrabri #cycling
