The Hazardous Journey
In due time their foot will slip. Their day of disaster is near and their doom rushes upon them.. The Lord will judge his people and have compassion on his servants when he sees their strength is gone. But as for me, my feet had almost slipped; I had nearly lost my foothold. For I […]
The Heavenly Vision… for the people of earth
Stop dwelling on past events and brooding over days gone by. I am about to do something new; this moment it will unfold. Can you not perceive it? Even through the wilderness I shall make a way, and paths in the barren desert. The wild beast will do me honour, the wolf and the desert-owl, […]
Healthy roots produce enduring fruits
A person away from home is like a bird away from its nest. [The righteous] are like trees that grow beside a stream, that bear fruit at the right time, and whose leaves do not dry up. Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: if you fall down, […]
On vocation
The angel of the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush… When the Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, ‘Moses! Moses!’ And Moses said, ‘Here I am.’ …the Lord said… ‘So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh […]
Real Questions
I will not keep silent; I will speak out in the anguish of my spirit, I will complain in the bitterness of my soul… Who are we that you make so much of us, that you give us so much attention, that you examine us every morning and test us every moment?… Does it please […]
This Holy Whisper
This Holy Whisper (Thomas Kelly) Hear, O heavens! Listen, O earth! For the Lord has spoken. The Lord would speak to Moses face to face, as a person speaks with a friend. Eli realised that it was the Lord who was calling the boy, so he said to him, ‘Go back to bed; and if […]
To will one thing
To will one thing (Soren Kierkegaard) For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him. Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold […]
The Last enemy to be overcome
Lo! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. For this perishable nature must put on the […]
Idolatry and the image of God
Do not make for yourselves images of anything in heaven or on earth or in the water under the earth. Do not bow down to any idol or worship it, because I am the Lord your God and I tolerate no rivals. Be certain that you do not forget the covenant that the Lord your […]
To the beat of a different drum
Whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, […]
