22.01.2022 Genesis 12:1 Now the LORD said to Abram, ‘Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you.’

21.01.2022 Psalm 88:914 my eye grows dim through sorrow. Every day I call on you, O LORD; I spread out my hands to you. Do you work wonders for the dead? Do the shades rise up to praise you? Selah Is your steadfast love declared in the grave, or your faithfulness in Abaddon? Are your wonders known in the darkness, or your saving help in the land of forgetfulness? But I, O LORD, cry out to you; in the morning my prayer comes before you. O LORD, why do you cast me off? Why do you hide your face from me?

20.01.2022 Psalm 150 Praise the LORD! Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty firmament! Praise him for his mighty deeds; praise him according to his surpassing greatness! Praise him with trumpet sound; praise him with lute and harp! Praise him with tambourine and dance; praise him with strings and pipe! Praise him with clanging cymbals; praise him with loud clashing cymbals! Let everything that breathes praise the LORD! Praise the LORD!

18.01.2022 Luke 24:4648 and he said to them, ‘Thus it is written, that the Messiah is to suffer and to rise from the dead on the third day, and that repentance and forgiveness of sins is to be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things.

18.01.2022 Exodus 16:811 And Moses said, ‘When the LORD gives you meat to eat in the evening and your fill of bread in the morning, because the LORD has heard the complaining that you utter against himwhat are we? Your complaining is not against us but against the LORD.’ Then Moses said to Aaron, ‘Say to the whole congregation of the Israelites, Draw near to the LORD, for he has heard your complaining.’ And as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the Israelites, they looked towards the wilderness, and the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud. The LORD spoke to Moses and said, ‘I have heard the complaining of the Israelites; say to them, At twilight you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall have your fill of bread; then you shall know that I am the LORD your God.’

17.01.2022 Psalm 8 O LORD, our Sovereign, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. Out of the mouths of babes and infants you have founded a bulwark because of your foes, to silence the enemy and the avenger. When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars that you have established; what are human beings that you are mindful of them, mortals that you care for them? Yet you have made them a little lower than God, and crowned them with glory and honour. You have given them dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under their feet, all sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes along the paths of the seas. O LORD, our Sovereign, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

15.01.2022 Our lives are long enough to learn what we need to learn, but not long enough to change anything. That is our flaw. Each age must learn everything afresh. Such waste! Such waste making all the mistakes once and again, each generation making the same mistakes, fumbling in ignorance and darkness. This oak was already old when I was born. Now I am old and soon to die, and this tree grows strong still. We are small creatures.... Our lives are not long, but long enough to learn. Stephen Lawhead

11.01.2022 Psalm 37:19 Do not fret because of the wicked; do not be envious of wrongdoers, for they will soon fade like the grass, and wither like the green herb. Trust in the LORD, and do good; so you will live in the land, and enjoy security. Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will act. He will make your vindication shine like the light, and the justice of your cause like the noonday. Be still before the LORD, and wait patiently for him; do not fret over those who prosper in their way, over those who carry out evil devices. Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath. Do not fretit leads only to evil. For the wicked shall be cut off, but those who wait for the LORD shall inherit the land.

11.01.2022 John 12:2328 Jesus answered them, ‘The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. Very truly, I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains just a single grain; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. Those who love their life lose it, and those who hate their life in this world will keep it for eternal life. Whoever serves me must follow me, and where I am, there will my servant be also. Whoever serves me, the Father will honour. ‘Now my soul is troubled. And what should I sayFather, save me from this hour? No, it is for this reason that I have come to this hour. Father, glorify your name.’ Then a voice came from heaven, ‘I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.’

10.01.2022 Genesis 1:15 In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth, the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters. Then God said, ‘Let there be light’; and there was light. And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.

09.01.2022 Your love comes to me in the silence, ordinary. Like a child’s treasure I turn it over... in the nook of my hand, warming its smooth heaviness. A thought of You, stony, clearly defined, drops as though down a deep well, is lost momentarily, then turns up a certainty in the heart. Cathy Hutcheon

09.01.2022 John 16:33 I have said this to you, so that in me you may have peace. In the world you face persecution. But take courage; I have conquered the world!’

09.01.2022 Psalm 63:13 O God, you are my God, I seek you, my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory. Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you.

07.01.2022 Psalm 135:1920 O house of Israel, bless the LORD! O house of Aaron, bless the LORD! O house of Levi, bless the LORD! You that fear the LORD, bless the LORD!

06.01.2022 1 Kings 8:5456 Now when Solomon finished offering all this prayer and this plea to the LORD, he arose from facing the altar of the LORD, where he had knelt with hands outstretched towards heaven; he stood and blessed all the assembly of Israel with a loud voice: ‘Blessed be the LORD, who has given rest to his people Israel according to all that he promised; not one word has failed of all his good promise, which he spoke through his servant Moses.

03.01.2022 Ezekiel 47:12 On the banks, on both sides of the river, there will grow all kinds of trees for food. Their leaves will not wither nor their fruit fail, but they will bear fresh fruit every month, because the water for them flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for healing.’

02.01.2022 Achsah waits for Othniel Capture a city: let us prove God there. Give me a field, though dry, unpromising and bare.... Sink me a well to water all this land: let me draw deep. And feed me from your hand. Show me a cave, remind me of the past: embrace my exile. Tell me I’m loved at last. Safe in the deepening darkness, uncover a heart that sings. Feet planted firmly in the ground, release the nether springs! Andy Raine, based loosely on Judges 1:12-15

02.01.2022 Restoration Song God called forth a people, and we responded to His call ‘Rebuild this ancient ruin, restore my city walls.’ He has led us day by day, as we listened to His voice and we were fed on finest wheat, and manna from the skies.... When we started, we were strangers. We hardly knew each other’s names. Now we are brothers and sisters, and we will never be the same. As we built, brick by brick, we discovered the corner stone, and as we let Him mould and fashion us, He built us up in love. Now we have seen, and we have heard, that the Lord our God is great. For a wilderness has been transformed, into His holy place. Gerry Tuohy

01.01.2022 Acts 1:8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.’
