Thought for the Day

You came near when I called you, and you said, “Do not fear.” (Lam 3:57) What are you anxious about today? Let God say to you “do not fear”. These are three words we would all love to hear right now. Whether they are being shouted from a rooftop or said to you as you […]

Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in the one Spirit, striving together as one for the faith of the gospel (Php 1:27) This crisis is one […]

He cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!” The dead man came out, his hands and feet bound with strips of cloth, and his face wrapped in a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Unbind him, and let him go.” (John 11:44) Even death has no power over God’s love. What a powerful story to […]

“Son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel and say, ‘Mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord… you, mountains of Israel, will produce branches and fruit for my people Israel, for they will soon come home.

Israel, put your hope in the Lord, for with the Lord is unfailing love and with him is full redemption. (Psa 130:7) To say we are in uncertain times would be an understatement wouldn’t it! The official advice is constantly changing, every day new challenges are arising. It can feel as though we are on […]

[God] said to me, “Son of man, eat this scroll I am giving you and fill your stomach with it.” So I ate it, and it tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth. (Eze 3:3) Over the next while we are all of us going to be spending a lot more time indoors. That […]

Laban said to Jacob, “You shouldn’t work for me for nothing just because you are my relative. How much pay do you want?” (Gen 29:15) Laban had ulterior motives. Have you thought about why you are doing what you are today? #TFTD
