Deuteronomy 34: Rest Secure
Welcome to the 34th and penultimate post in my Deuteronomy blog-series, looking at words of blessing, encouragement and reassurance that we can still claim for ourselves today.
Rejoice Always
Rejoice Always. “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!” (Philippians 4:4) Rejoice is an odd command. It doesn’t seem like the kind of thing you can just do, or is it? If someone told you: be happy always, you’d probably give them an odd look and ignore them. No … Continue reading Rejoice Always
Remember Your Leaders
Remember Your Leaders. “Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith.” (Hebrews 13:7) This is a hard time for all of us, and it would be easy to become inward-focused and dwell only on our own concerns. But … Continue reading Remember Your Leaders
In Honour of a Friend
In Honour of a Friend. “When David had served God’s purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep” (Acts 13:36) I want to dedicate today’s blog to Tim Creamer. It is written to honour the memory of a good friend who lost his battle with Covid-19 yesterday. There can be no higher … Continue reading In Honour of a Friend
God cares for those who trust in Him
God cares for those who trust in Him. “The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in Him” (Nahum 1:7) You may never have heard of Nahum, or, if you have, you might struggle to find it in the Bible. Nahum is three short chapters … Continue reading God cares for those who trust in Him
Let’s not become weary in doing good
Let's not become weary in doing good. “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.” (Galatians … Continue reading Let’s not become weary in doing good
He Will Sustain You
He Will Sustain You. “Cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous be shaken.” (Psalm 55:22) What’s sustaining you at the moment? Each day that passes it’s getting harder to be away from the people I love and my normal routine. What sustains me … Continue reading He Will Sustain You
Number Your Days Carefully
Number Your Days Carefully. “Teach us to number our days carefully, so that we may develop wisdom in our hearts.” (Psalm 90:12) I don’t know about you, but numbering my days isn’t easy at the moment. It sounds simple, but I’ve found that in lockdown the days bleed into one another and blur … Continue reading Number Your Days Carefully
Don’t be afraid. I will provide…
Don't be afraid. I will provide... “You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. So then, don’t be afraid. I will provide for you and your children.” (Genesis 50:20-21) What’s going on right now is awful, let’s not … Continue reading Don’t be afraid. I will provide…
