Minute Devotions: God's all consuming love

Minute Devotions: God’s all consuming love

Many are the woes of the wicked, but the Lord’s unfailing love surrounds the one who trusts in him. – Psalm 32:10 Life is never going to be without trouble. Where there is people, there will be issues and dramas. The unfortunate thing about this world we live in is that there always has been, and always will be, people that are just mean and wicked and out to hurt others. It doesn’t make sense,…

He weeps with us.

The other day I woke up with a song in my head. I don’t often wake up with songs playing in my mind, but the song Weep With Me by Rend Collective was playing on repeat. It’s a beautiful song, one that asks questions of God whilst also praising Him for His goodness. It’s a song that’s bought me comfort over the years and been a bit of a prayer. Questioning God Weep with me, Lord, will You weep…

Minute Devotions: Praying for belief.

Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, “I believe, help my unbelief!” – Mark 9:24 Hope can be hard to hold onto sometimes. Trust can be even harder. In the midst of trials or heartache, holding onto God’s promises that He won’t let us go and has great plans for us can be a trial itself. Especially when we feel overwhelmed and the situation seems bigger than even God can…

When it's OK to be the villain.

When it’s OK to be the villain.

Relationships and people can be hard work. If you’ve had any sort of relationship, whether it be parent and child, siblings, friendship, partners etc. you would have at some point experienced some form of conflict or misunderstanding. Maybe you have only had some mild disagreements that don’t even register. If that’s you, you are fortunate. For the rest of us though, we’ve likely had to navigate…

Dwelling in the shelter of the Most High

I was sitting this morning reading Psalm 91. It’s a beautiful psalm and one I’ve read many times. Many of us know a few verses out of it, such as verse one: Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. There are many stand-out verses in this psalm, verses that we recite in moments of struggle. But as I sat and read it this morning, verse four really…

Welcome to the New Year

Well, Happy New Year, all. No matter where you are in the world, we are all officially in 2022. And most likely, you’re hoping and praying that unlike the last 2 years, this year will be different. I know I am. The Year that was. As I’ve sat and pondered on the year that was, I’ve tried to find some words that articulate what 2021 was for me. And all I can say is this: 2021 was the year that I…

Minute Devotions: Lean on God

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths – Proverbs 3:5-6 In a world that constantly tells us to ‘do what makes you happy’ and to ‘do you,’ it’s more important than ever to lean on God and His Word. We don’t always understand why things happen. We also don’t always understand or know…

Minute Devotions: The Lord does not change

I the Lord do not change. So you, the descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed – Malachi 3:6 If you have been alive for a few years, you likely would have experienced some disappointment. At times people hurt us. Other times, we find ourselves suffering the consequences of other people’s actions. There are times when people turn on us, or betray us, and we are left brokenhearted. Life can seem to…

Minute Devotions: Fearless

When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. In God, whose word I praise – in God I trust and am not afraid. What can mere mortals do to me? Psalm 56:3-4 It is easy to be overwhelmed by fear. With so much discord and disunity around us, you would be forgiven for feeling discouraged or afraid. I know that I have felt both. But as I read this verse this morning, it was like a balm to my soul. When I…

Minute Devotions: The joy of the Lord!

The joy of the Lord is my strength! For so long, I never fully comprehended what ‘the joy of the Lord is my strength‘ meant. For a while, I understood it to mean that if I know Jesus, I will have His joy. But as I’ve walked with Jesus for a few more years, I’ve come to realise that I had this verse wrong. Knowing of Jesus isn’t enough to have His joy; it takes spending time with Jesus and…

Minute Devotions: Choose to trust Him.

When I am afraid, I put my trust in you – Psalm 56:3 ESV Trusting God is hard sometimes. I think we would all like to say that no matter what, we trust God, but sometimes, seasons are just hard. When everything feels like a fight, it can be hard to trust God and believe that He is for us. Some days, heaven is so silent that it feels like God doesn’t even care, let alone listen or fight for us.…

Minute Devotions: Christ be magnified.

He must become greater; I must become less – John 3:30 Who does our life magnify? Is it Jesus, or is it ourselves? I think if we were all to answer that honestly, most of us would say that tend to feature as the star of our lives. I know that in my own life, more times than I care to admit, I have made it about me, not Jesus. But this life isn’t about us. Yes, we feature heavily in the story of…

He will do a new thing.

“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” Isaiah 43:18-19 The first time I read this verse, many years ago, I was sitting in a prayer meeting pleading with God to pull me out of a situation I was in. As I knelt on the flooring, praying and begging…

Minute Devotions: He sings over you.

“The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.” Zephaniah 3:17 If there is one verse in the bible that makes me smile, it’s Zephaniah 3:17. The thought of God, the Creator of heaven and earth, singing over me, just settles my spirit. It’s hard to imagine someone as…

Minute Devotions: It is well.

This morning as I sat with my coffee, I was listening to some worship and the song ‘It is Well‘ came on. It’s a song that I love. As I sat and listened to the lyrics, I asked myself, “is it well with my soul today?” There is a lot happening around me at the moment, some of which is really discouraging, but is it still well with my soul? Despite what is happening around us, one thing is certain;…

Sounds of Worship: Hold onto Me.

‘For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, “Fear not, I am the one who helps you.” Isaiah 41:13 If there is one thing we can say about God, it’s that He knows exactly what we need when we need it. And He knows we need it long before we do. For the last little while, I’ve faced some difficult health challenges. Amid these health challenges, other challenges have…

Because He lives.

Sunday is here. I often think of the despair and heartache the disciples felt on Friday as they watched Jesus on the cross. Taking His last breath, I imagine they looked on in disbelief. How could this have happened? The Messiah they had waited for, dead. Hope for freedom, gone. As they retreated to their safe place of hiding, I imagine they would have felt a heartache so deep, they felt it to…
