Taste and see ______ Lord, what You have done for us – we could never have done for ourselves! It’s so amazing what You have done for us. We were making plans for ourselves – but our plans didn’t include You! You came to us. You said to us, “I have a wonderful plan for …

Am I on the way up - or the way down? This question can be asked in terms of our social standing - upwardly mobile or downwardly mobile? Let's think about this question in a different way: Are we moving up - towards the Lord? or Are we moving down - away from the Lord? …
"He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus" (Philippians 1:6). Are we travelling on a road that's going nowhere? Sometimes, it feels like this. God's Word says, "No." Is there the glorious hope of an eternal future - with God? God's Word says, "Yes." …
"Esau hated Jacob because of what he had done to him (or because of the blessing with which his father, Isaac, blessed him, Jacob)" (Genesis 27:41). The story of Jacob and Esau can be read at a purely human level. Esau's reaction to Jacob's trickery was perfectly understandable. What are we to make of all …
It is no secret what God can do _____ Lord, everything seems so hopeless – when we take our eyes off You! Help us to keep our eyes on You. Fill us with fresh hope. Sometimes, we can be optimists. Often, we’re pessimists. You’re always “the God of hope” (Romans 15:13). You’re always saying to us, …

"We can plainly see that the Lord is blessing you ... We bless you in the name of the Lord" (Genesis 26:28-29). Thank God that he is blessing you and pray that he will keep on blessing you. Think of how much the Lord has blessed you, and let your heart be filled with praise …
"The older son shall be the servant of the younger son" (Genesis 25:23). Grace isn't defined by human expectations. Human wisdom gives priority to the older son. God chooses the younger son, Jacob - to carry forward his great plan of salvation. Why did God choose Jacob? Was Jacob better than Esau? We won't find …
"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. 4 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight" (Ephesians 1:3-4). We sing praise to the Lord. He has blessed us so much - …

"You are an honoured prince of God among us" (Genesis 23:5). How great this is! When people thought of Abraham, they thought of God. We think of Abraham, and our thoughts move forward to Jesus; "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God ... The Word …
"Now Moses was keeping the flock of his father-in-law, Jethro, the priest of Midian, and he led his flock to the west side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God" (Exodus 3:1). For Moses, it started off like a very ordinary day - looking after sheep! It turned out to be an …
"Abraham is a prophet, and he will pray for you" (Genesis 20:7). The prophet speaks for God. The prophet speaks to God. Speaking for God and speaking to God - we need both. We bring the Word of God to the people, and we pray that his blessing will be upon the people. When we …
In the morning, when I rise, give me Jesus - sung by Fernando Ortega Often, Lord, we have too much self-confidence and not enough confidence in You. May there be less ‘I can’ – that’s the pride we can do without – and more ‘God can’ – this is the faith we need so much. …

"Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God" (1 John 3:1, King James Version). "See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!" (1 John 3:1, New International …

"Sarah laughed" (Genesis 18:12). It wasn't only Sarah who laughed. Abraham, also, laughed (Genesis 17:17). The laughter of Sarah and Abraham was the laughter of unbelief. There is, however, another laughter, a better laughter. It's the laughter of faith; "Faith laughs at impossibilities, and cries, 'It shall be done.'" (Charles Wesley). Here's a link to …
"No longer will you be called Abram; your name will be Abraham, for I have made you a father of many nations" (Genesis 17:5). From Abram to Abraham - it doesn't seem like a very big change. It is a big change. It seems to suggest a movement from the blessings given to Abram - to …
“You are the God who sees me, I have now seen the One who sees me.” (Genesis 16:13). God sees the big picture. We only see part of it. To understand what life's all about, we need revelation from the Lord. We need God to shine his light upon us. God shows us who he is …
"The word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision: 'Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your very great reward.'" (Genesis 15:1). Abram was given great promises by the Lord. He received great blessings from the Lord. When we sing the words, Be Thou my Vision, we are affirming our faith in the Lord. With him as our …
"Further down the road, heaven waits for me." Whatever the future may hold - none of us knows, only the Lord, let us hold on to this: By the grace of God, we are heading for heaven. "Further day down the road, heaven waits for me" - Take this thought with you on your journey …
We wonder about the future. God's Word teaches us "to take one day at a time." Here's a link to a song that I hope will help you to keep your eyes on Jesus, as you travel through life with him. One Day At A Time - Charlie Landsborough - YouTube May the Lord bless …
"Abram worshipped the Lord" (Genesis 13:4). Here, we see Abram, returning to a place where he had, at an earlier time, worshipped the Lord. As I was reading this verse, I thought of a song that I haven't heard for years. Here's a link to it: How long has it been since you talked with …
Amazing grace _____ Lord, we thank You for Your “amazing grace” – “I once was lost but now am found” (John Newton). We think about our life. Did we find our way back to You? – No! You found us! You came looking for us – and You found us. We think about this, and we …

"Building a tower and making a name for ourselves" (Genesis 11:4) There is no salvation in ourselves. Salvation is in Christ alone (Acts 4:12). The Lord is our "strong tower" (Proverbs 18:10). Salvation doesn't begin with ourselves. It comes to us from Christ: "Who came down from heaven to earth? - Jesus Christ,our Saviour." Here's a …
"Noah went into the ark" (Genesis 7:7). For Noah and his family, the ark was the place of safety. For us, Jesus is the 'ark' of our salvation. We are "safe in the arms of Jesu." He has invited us to come to him. He welcomes us when we come to him. We belong to …

Enthusiastic and energetic - sometimes, these are the words churches use to describe the minister they're looking for.

This time of worship is not only for Sunday morning (or some other time on Sunday). You can come back, again and again, during the week, and be blessed by the Lord. He is with us every day. He loves us - always and forever. However difficult and distressing our present circumstances may be, let …

The Humbled and Exalted Christ 5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, 7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself …
'O Lord, You are exalted for ever… The Lord reigns, He is robed in majesty… ' (Psalm 92:8; Psalm 93:1-2). You, Lord, are ‘exalted’. Help us to exalt You in our worship. You are not exalted because we exalt You. We exalt You because You are exalted. You are ‘exalted far above all gods’. That is why we sing, ‘I exalt …

“Take the staff, and you (Moses) and your brother Aaron, gather the assembly together. Speak to that rock before their eyes and it will pour out its water.

What did Moses do? – he “struck the rock twice with …

"These also who erred in spirit will come to understanding, and those who complained will learn doctrine." (Isaiah 29:24).

"When the kindness and love of God our Saviour appeared, 5 he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy" (Titus 3:4-5). "He saved us." We do not save ourselves.

"You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore" (Psalm 16:11). I was about to set out on a life of ministry. It was a "path of life" that had been chosen for me by God. At the beginning of this life of ministry, I received a …
"I lift up my eyes to you, to you who sit enthroned in heaven. 2 ... our eyes look to the Lord our God, till he shows us his mercy. 3 Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy on us ... " (Psalm 123:1-3). We lift up our eyes to the hills - and we look beyond the hills to …
"We wait for the blessed hope — the appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour, Jesus Christ" (Titus 2:13). Where is history taking us? Is there a future for us? We ask questions. We're looking for answers. Where are the answers to come from? Do we make up our answers? or Are they …
‘How I love Your Temple, Almighty Lord! How I want to be there! I long to be in the Lord’s Temple. With my whole being I sing for joy to the living God’ (Psalm 84:1-2). Lord, we read this words, and we know that this is much more than paying lip-service to You. This is real. ‘I long …

"And Joseph said to his brothers, “I am about to die, but God will visit you and bring you up out of this land to the land that he swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.”" (Genesis 50:24). What great words of encouragement! Joseph was very near to the end of his life on earth - …
“Joseph is a fruitful bough, a fruitful bough by a spring; his branches run over the wall. 23 The archers bitterly attacked him, shot at him, and harassed him severely, 24 yet his bow remained unmoved; his arms were made agile by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob (from there is the Shepherd, the Stone of Israel), 25 by the God of your …

"Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow" (Isaiah 1:18). As I was thinking about the wonder of God's forgiveness, my thoughts turned to the gospel song, "What can wash away my sin? Nothing but the blood of Jesus." We ask our question - "What can wash away my sin?" God …
At this difficult and distressing time, we're not able to gather with one another to worship the Lord in His house. In our own homes, we can come to the Lord and we can bring our praise to Him. Let's begin our worship with "We have come into His house and gathered in His name …
‘I love the Lord... I will call on Him as long as I live’(Psalm 116:1-2). Our love for God is to be a lifelong life. It is to be the love of our life. What are we to do when our love for God grows weak? We must remember His love for us. ‘Great is …
We thank You, Lord, that Jesus has risen from the dead (Luke 24:6). Death could not hold Him (Acts 2:24). He has triumphed over death – “Where, O death, is your victory? … Thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Corinthians 15:57). _____ When we read the …
