1 Thessalonians 4:1 Finally then brothers, we ask and urge you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, just as you are doing, that you do so more and more. This month we have looked at 20 different verses to help guide our… Continue reading Daily Strength
Mark 8:18 Having eyes do you not see, and having ears do you not hear? And do you not remember? The disciples were in the boat with Jesus when they began discussing with one another the fact that they had no bread. Actually, they had one loaf between them. Now, let me ask you, if… Continue reading One Loaf
1 John 3:18 Little children, let us not love in word or talk, but in deed and in truth. We can all talk a good game at times but following that up with action is sometimes a different story. How often do we pray that the Lord will ‘send’ someone somewhere without thinking of going… Continue reading Less Talk, More Action
Titus 3:2 to speak evil of no one, to avoid quarrelling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all people. Here we have another challenging verse about our everyday behaviour toward each other. Don’t let yourself get dragged into futile discussions and unproductive arguments.

I mentioned… Continue reading Willingly Serve
Psalm 34:13 Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit. It’s frightening how something as small as the tongue can do so much damage. From a careless word to a blatant lie, one person’s life can be forever altered by the words of another. ‘How great a forest is set ablaze by… Continue reading Careless Whisper
Ephesians 5:15 Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise. Do you ever wonder how others perceive you? I know that some really worry about what people think of them, which usually comes down to a lack of self-confidence. There is a need to be liked and we also like to… Continue reading Against the Flow
Proverbs 10:4 A slack hand causes poverty, but the hand of the diligent makes rich. A phrase that I heard on more than one occasion when I was younger was, ‘stop sitting there twiddling your thumbs and give me a hand please’. I wasn’t even sure what ‘twiddling’ was but apparently, I was quite good… Continue reading Idle hands
