    The answer to the question is?….

    “If you have run with the footmen, and they have wearied you, then how can you contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, in which you trusted, they wearied you, then how will you do in the floodplain of the Jordan?” Jeremiah 12.5 Have you ever asked a question and the answer…

    “And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”Matthew 27.46 NKJV In the Christian life, as in life, I think most, if not all of us, have had or will have a painful 9th hour experience.…

    God’s delight..

    Godly guidance for the week ahead: “Thus says the Lord: “Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, Let not the mighty man glory in his might, Nor let the rich man glory in his riches; But let him who glories glory in this, That he understands and knows Me, That I am the…

  • A marriage blessing

    A marriage blessing

    I went to my first marriage blessing and thanksgiving service yesterday. It was beautiful. Not only was the weather perfect but the church, St Mary’s, was the epitome of an English Cotswold village church. The village has thatched cottages and the church sits there in all its beauty with the most awesome spire (so tall…

  • A refreshing break..

    A refreshing break..

    Good morning readers and fellow bloggers. I don’t know if you missed me but I’ve been away the last 10 days on holiday. We took our little camper van which is tiny but cosy and lots of fun on a road trip. It’s a 20 year old Japanese import which has been converted with a…

  • Where are we drinking from?

    Where are we drinking from?

    It’s good to ponder such questions. I’m not thinking today of water which satisfies the physical thirst but our spiritual thirst. Where am I drinking from?

    Time for a Stretch…

    Recently, the Lord has been reminding me of the verses from Isaiah 54. I first posted on these verses back in 2021. Since then I have experienced this stretching and expansion in many areas of my life and my church. Thank you Lord. I hope this re-posting encourages you today. “Enlarge the place of your…

  • Timing..

    Timing..

    What is the perfect time? Is there such a thing. If you are like me then waiting for the perfect time and perfect conditions to act can leave me in limbo. I do nothing as there’s always a reason to procrastinate. I can be great at procrastinating when I’m minded to it. If it were…

  • The Wind…

    The Wind…

    The wind blows where it wishes. Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.” John 3:7-8 There…

  • Cast off the grave clothes

    Cast off the grave clothes

    Morning, this is my last re-post for the Easter season which I hope blesses and encourages you for the week ahead. When Jesus rose from the dead, He left his grave clothes in the tomb. I want to say that again- He left his grave clothes in the tomb. Why. Jesus didn’t need them anymore.…
