We have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus (Hebrews 10:19). We are to live as those who are awaiting the Day of the Lord’s return (Hebrews 10:25). We look back to what Christ has done for us. We look forward to what He will do for us. Looking back …

I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust" (Psalm 91:2). Sometimes, we feel like we're failing and we're falling. We feel like we're all on our own. How are we to rediscover the faith that says, "The Lord is my refuge and my fortress, …
The Lord remembers us and will bless us (Psalm 115:12). There are times when we feel forgotten and overlooked. We feel unloved. These are the times when we need to draw near to the Lord, and let him draw near to us. We may find ourselves, asking the question, "How are we to draw near …
Jesus was tempted. Jesus is victorious. He is “King of kings and Lord of lords” (Revelation 19:16), and He’s at work in us, bringing us through temptation and into victory. We don’t live in constant victory. Often, we’re defeated. We need to learn to listen to God’s Word and be led into the pathway of …
Show me your ways, Lord... according to your love, remember me... (Psalm 25:4-7). What are the "ways" that the Lord shows to us? The first and greatest "way" that the Lord shows to us is the way of his love. He shows us that he loves us. He shows us that his love for us …
In the Gospels, we read about Jesus and his disciples. They were slow learners - but he was a very patient teacher. He didn't give up on them, and he doesn't give up on us. In the question, "Will we ever learn?", there is more than a hint of frustration - we want to learn, …
"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the …

Blessed is the one... whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night (Psalm 1:1-2). Have we forgotten these words that come to us from the first two verses of the book of the Psalms, or do we hear another voice, the voice of our Lord …
2 Corinthians 1:1-2:11 - Times of trouble can turn out to be times of great blessing - ‘God… comforts us in all our affliction’ (1:3-4). Whether good things or bad things are happening to you, don’t forget this: God loves you. His Word is ‘not Yes and No’ - ‘Yes, I love you. No, I …

"My heart is confident, O God. My heart is confident ... I want to give thanks to You among the people, O Lord. I want to make music to praise you among the nations because your mercy is as high as the heavens. Your truth reaches the skies" (Psalm 57:7,9-10). Confidence in the Lord - It's very …

What variety there is in Matthew 22 - a story about a wedding reception, a question about taxes, the dead come back to life, love God and your neighbour, how can David's son be David's Lord? When we read the Gospels, we must allow the Lord Jesus to speak to us on all the subjects …
“The voice is Jacob’s voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau” (Genesis 27:22). Be real! What we are and what we appear to be can be two very different things. God is calling us out of hypocrisy and into holiness. There can be no real holiness if we’re only trying to keep up …
Lord, there are some things that are worth repeating! The story of Your amazing grace is worth repeating over and over again - ‘Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, and He delivered them from their distress’(Psalm 107:6,13,19,28). The call to praise You is also something we need to hear again and …

Exodus 18:1-20:26 The Word of God tells us what God has done for His people: “the Lord saved them” (Exodus 18:8). The Word of God teaches us that being saved by the Lord places us under responsibility to be obedient to Him (Exodus 19:4-5). the vital connection between salvation and obedience is brought out clearly …
Genesis 21:8-34 In these verses, we read about Hagar and Ishmael, and we read about Abimelech, but we don't focus attention on them. We focus attention on Abraham. More importantly, we focus attention on Abraham's God, "the Lord, the everlasting God" (33). Abraham worshipped "the Lord- the everlasting God" (33). Following these words, in verse …
1 Kings 8:54-9:28 What is happening when we are gathered together for worship? Is this merely a human thing, something which we do? No! - There is something more. God is at work. He is there to ‘incline our hearts to Him…’(58). Before we have gathered, God is there, waiting for us, ready to speak …

“Every man did what was right in his own eyes” (Judges 21:25). This sad situation is with us still. May God give us grace to pray, “Not my will, but Thine be done” (Matthew 26:42).
In Ezekiel 35, we learn that it is through His judgment as well as His salvation that we learn that the Lord is God. It is important that we remember two things - (i) God's purpose is salvation (John 3:17); (ii) His judgment comes upon us as a result of our sin (John 3:18). The …
‘“Be strong , all you people of the land”, declares the Lord, “and work. For I am with you”, declares the Lord Almighty’ (Haggai 2:4). We are to work for God. When we commit ourselves to serving Him, the Lord promises His blessing: ‘From this day on I will bless you’ (Haggai 2:19). To His …
Lord, You're calling us to serve You. We're to serve You in the world. Before we can serve You in the world, there must be this: "ministering in the House of the Lord" (1 Chronicles 26:12). Part of our worship involves the dedication of "gifts for the maintenance of the House of the Lord" (1 …
Lord, help us to put You first in our lives. No-one is more important than You. Why do we forget this - again and again. When we forget You, Lord, bring us back to the Cross of Christ. Show us - all over again - that You have not forgotten us, that You never will forget …

"Come and see what God has done... Come and listen, all who fear God, and I will tell you what he has done for me... Let everyone give thanks to You, O God." (Psalm 66:5,16; Psalm 67:3). If we want to see what God has done for us, what's the best place to look? - …

In Proverbs 22-24, we learn about promise and danger. At every stage in our journey through life, there is both promise and danger - the promise of God’s blessing to those who keep Him at the centre of their life, the danger of coming under God’s judgment when we ignore His way and go the …
