Recent Posts: Learning From God's Word

‘Every virtue we possess, every victory won, every thought of holiness, are His alone.’

2 Samuel 8:1-9:13 David was involved in many battles with his enemies. Their antagonism had been aroused by his strong stand for the Lord. David enjoyed many victories. Why? – ‘The Lord gave victory to David wherever he went’(8:6,14). Jesus said, ‘Apart from Me you can do nothing’(John 15:5). We are not left on our […]

Standing in Christ’s strength alone, we resist the devil.

Numbers 11:1-35 ‘The people complained in the hearing of the Lord’ (1) – Remember: All our words are spoken ‘in the hearing of the Lord’! There was ‘a rabble among them’ (4): What problems there are when such people are mingling with God’s people! What are we to do when this happens? – Pray for […]

The love of God – reaching out to us and changing us

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him” (John 3:16-17). Here, we read about the love of God, reaching out to us. […]

Leaving our future in the hands of the Lord

“As your days, so shall your strength be” (Deuterinomy 33:25). God is calling each one of us to make a new beginning with him. Where will this take us? We don’t know. All we can do is take the first step… and the nexr step… and the next step… . We may wish that we […]

The light of love

“The Lord is my light and my salvation — whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life — of whom shall I be afraid?” (Psalm 27:1). The Lord shines his light upon us. He leads us out of darkness and into his light. He helps us to see our life in his light – the light of his love, the […]

Whatever the Lord tells me

1 Kings 22:14 This is the way of the true prophet of God.  Our words and our life are to be an echo of the voice of the Lord. 

Set free – to stand firm

” … Christ has set us free. Stand firm … ” (Galatians 5:1). Why does Christ set us free? Does he set us free to do whatever we like? No! He sets us free – to be his soldiers and servants. Without Christ as our Saviour, we are defenceless and defeated – when Satan attacks us. […]

The Lord is King for ever and ever.

Psalm 10:1-18 Wickedness seems to be so prevalent. Many ‘renounce the Lord’, saying ‘There is no God’ (3-4). It seems that the wicked ‘prosper at all times’, while the innocent victims of oppression feel that ‘God has forgotten’ (5-11). When it appears that God ‘has hidden His face’, when we feel that He has forgotten […]

The Kingdom Of God: Luke’s Gospel

It has been said that, in the Gospel of Luke, we see Jesus as “the Friend of the friendless” (William Barclay, The Men, The Meaning, The Message Of The Books, p. 17). This is wonderful. Jesus is our Friend. We rejoice in this great message when we sing, “What a Friend we have in Jesus.” […]

May the Lord help us to be “His faithful ones”, who walk with Him.

1 Samuel 2:1-36 What a contrast there is between the son of Hannah and the sons of Eli – ‘the boy Samuel grew in the presence of the Lord…in the favour of the Lord’, ‘the sons of Eli were worthless men; they had no regard for the Lord (21,26,12). This is the difference between ‘the […]

Recent Posts: Praying Through God's Word

Lord, we come to You in our weakness. You give to us Your strength.

John 14:15-15:17 Lord, we come to You in our weakness. You give to us Your strength. Without Jesus, we can do nothing (John 15:5). With Jesus as our Saviour, His Word abiding in us (John 15:7) and the Holy Spirit teaching us all things (John 15:26), we are led into a life of fruitfulness (John […]

To You, Lord, be all the glory.

Genesis 18:16-33 To You, Lord, be all the glory.  You have done so many great things for us. So many blessings – and they all come from You, Lord. Our sins have been forgiven. You’ve come to live in us. Such great blessing – but this is just the beginning! You’re leading us on to […]

Lord, help us to stand upon Your Word.

Genesis 31:43-32:21 Lord, help us to stand upon Your Word. You have given us a firm foundation for our faith. You have given us Your salvation. When everything around is shaking, we can stand firm because we know that You are our God. You are the God who has saved us through the death of […]

A new beginning

2 Samuel 1:1-27 – ‘How are the mighty fallen!’ (19,25,27). The tragedy of Saul was there for all to see. He had made a right mess of things! What are we to think when we read of this tragic figure? He started out so well. He ended so badly. There were high hopes – but […]

We thank You, Lord, that ‘we do not live by bread alone.’

We thank You, Lord, that “we do not live by bread alone” (Deuteronomy 8:3). We need bread for the body. We also need Jesus, the Bread of Life (John 6:35). Help us, Lord, not to become too easily satisfied by the things of this world. Help us never to forget that we need Jesus. Without […]

God invites us to come to Him and receive salvation.

ISAIAH 1:1-31  –  God invites us to ‘come’ to Him and receive salvation – ‘though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow’. He also warns us – there will be judgment ‘if you refuse and rebel’ (18-20). God speaks to us of His great purpose of salvation: ‘God did not […]

Lord, we need Your Word of encouragement.

Numbers 12:1-13:33 Lord, we need Your Word of encouragement. Sometimes, our problems seem to be so big. Help us to see that Your power is always greater than our problems. When everything in us seems to be saying, “I can’t”, help us to hear – and speak – the Word of faith, ” I can […]

We thank You, Lord, for Your love … Your Son … Your command … and Your purpose.

We thank You, Lord, for Your love – “You loved the world so much that You gave Your Son, Jesus” (John 3:16); Your Son – He died for “the sins of the whole world” (John 1:29; 1 John 2:2); Your command – “the Good News” of Christ’s love is to be preached to “every person” […]

God’s work doesn’t always move forward smoothly.

Ezra 4:1-5:17  –  God’s work does not always move forward smoothly. We face determined opposition. Where there is opportunity, there will be opposition (1 Corinthians 16:9). The servants of Satan rise up to oppose the servants of the Lord. This is what happens here. The Lord’s enemies had some success: ‘the work on the House […]

The Lord looks upon us with love. We are special to Him. We are precious in His eyes.

Isaiah 4:1-5:17  –  ‘Those who are left… will be called holy’ (4:3). The world speaks of God’s people with contempt – ‘the holy people who need to learn to live in the real world’. When God calls His people ‘holy’, He speaks in a very different way. He speaks with affection. He looks upon us […]
