Have you given today to the Lord friend? This is something that God had been teaching me to do recently and it’s made so much difference to my days. I will tell God the things I feel I need to, or would like to do but then I tell Him that my day is all His to do with as

I totally surprised myself this morning. I woke up and it was cold, windy and raining hard and my first thought was how good it was that we had the rain to water the earth. Now, us English are known for talking about the weather and I then realised just how often we complain about it and say what a
The table is set, it’s covered with the best food, will you come and eat? ‘Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.’ What is this table, what is this feast, is it not Christ Jesus, the living bread, the Word?… ‘And the Word was made
I felt the Lord leading me to 2 Cor today but as I began to read, I didn’t get any further than verse two, Paul’s greeting to the church at Corinth…. ‘Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.’ I have read Paul’s greetings in his various letters many times but today
I got up this morning with these words running through my mind… ‘worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.’ So I looked it up and found it in three places including Psalm 29 which is a beautiful psalm. It starts with a command, centres on the power of God’s voice and ends with a promise. David begins by saying…’Give
THIS is the generation?… Friends, may it even be as David wrote…for THIS generation…. ‘This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.’ ‘Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.’ Open your hearts and minds and the
It has just been one of ‘those’ mornings this morning. I woke up feeling so exhausted, I’m also feeling dizzy and my joint pain is worse. I still got up early but I really struggled through my quiet time seeming to get nowhere. Then I discovered that the freezer had been slightly open all night so I had that to
Is your engine running well? Does your car have fuel and oil? Have you topped it up lately? Just as your car needs fuel to move forward, so do we to move forward in our Christian pathway. Our verse card today says that faith comes by hearing. ‘So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.’
Living a life that glorifies God doesn’t mean we have to do big things. Our lives glorify God each time we LEAN on Him instead of doing things in our own strength. When we’re exhausted and don’t know how to continue and we look to God for help and God gives us that strength we need to continue, He is
If……’we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.’ Hebrews 10:10. what does Peter then mean by these spiritual sacrifices that are acceptable to God? in 1 Peter 2:5? ‘Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.’
What does being a Christian really mean? What does it mean to be a true follower of Christ Jesus? It’s as simple and as difficult and it’s as beautiful and as crucifying as….. loving ‘The Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour
I’ve been thinking a lot recently about what holiness really is. ‘therefore be holy, for I am holy.’ If we truly love the Lord, we want to do what is right but we can try as hard as we like to keep all the rules, we can outwardly follow Christ, tick all the boxes and yet still not be right
