God In Nature

"When I consider Your Heavens . . ."


Psalm 8:3


Today's Bible Reading: Psalm 8.


To look into a microscope is to see another universe so small that only the electronic microscope can even find it. For instance, it is revealed that one single snowflake in a snowstorm with millions of other snowflakes is the equivalent of twenty billion electrons. Scientists are learning that the miniature world of a single living cell is as astonishing as man himself. God says that we can learn a great deal about Him just by observing nature. Because He has spoken through His universe, all men are without excuse for not believing in Him. This is why the Psalmist said, “The fool has said in his heart, There is no God” (Psalm 14:1). Would that all people would stop and consider these things.


Prayer: Father of all creation, and Lord of all mankind, the whole of creation declares Your handiwork, and it is wonderful in my sight. How excellent is Your name in all the earth. I praise You and bless You this day, In Jesus' name. Amen.

Good News !

"He is not here, but is risen!"


Luke 24:6


Today's Bible Reading: Luke 24:4-7.


The story of Easter, is one of the most powerful life changing stories in all of human history. It is the story of God's great love for us, and His willingness to sacrifice everything to save us from our sin and brokenness. In Luke 24, we see the culmination of this story, as the angels announce to the women at the tomb that Jesus has risen from the dead. 


The women were greatly perplexed and afraid when they encountered the two angels in shining garments. But the angels had a message of hope and joy for them: Jesus is risen! He has conquered sin and death, and is alive again! 


This message of resurrection is the central message of the Christian faith. It is what gives us hope and assurance that, no matter what we face in life, we have a Saviour who has already overcome all things. As we celebrate Easter, we remember the words of Jesus, spoken before his death: "The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again" (Luke 24:7).


The Lord knew what was coming, and He willingly went to the cross for us. He took on the punishment that we deserved, and He triumphed over death through His resurrection. This is the ultimate act of love and grace, and it is the reason why we can have hope in the midst of our trials and struggles.


I believe, that the Easter story, is not just for one day of the year, or for a season in the Church calender, I believe it is a message for today, and for every day of the year; Jesus Is Alive! Now that is good news!


Prayer: Lord God, help me comprehend today afresh the power that raised Your Son, from the dead. In Christ's name I pray: Amen.

Tears of Praise

"Sing praise to the Lord, you His saints . . ."


Psalm 30:4


Today's Bible Reading: Psalm 30.


In Psalm 30, David’s song “for the dedication of the temple,” he worshipped God for His faithfulness and mercy (v 1-3). He encouraged others to “Sing praise His holy name” (v 4). Then David explored how intimately God entwines hardship and hope (v 5). He acknowledged times of grief and rejoicing, times of feeling secure and being dismayed (v6-7). His cries for help remained laced with confidence in God (v 7-10). The echo of his praise wove through David’s moments of wailing and dancing, grief and joy (v 11). As if acknowledging the mystery and complexity of enduring affliction and anticipating God’s faithfulness, David proclaimed his endless devotion to God (v 12).


Like David, we can sing, “Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever” (v 12). Whether we’re happy or hurting, God can help us declare our trust in Him and lead us to worship Him with joyful shouts and tears of praise.


Prayer: Dear Lord and God, please help me trust You and praise You as I process my emotions. In Jesus' name. Amen.
