Clouds
Psalm 36:5 AMPC Your mercy and loving-kindness, O Lord, extend to the skies, and Your faithfulness to the clouds. Today the skies are covered with a soft blanket of grey clouds. These are times when clouds are a blessing, giving respite from the relentless summer sun. We experience all sorts of spiritual clouds in our lifetime. Each one teaches us of the faithfulness of our Lord. When the dark, stormy clouds come, we learn to know that God is still there, still the same lovin

Let it rain!
Isaiah 55:6-11 NKJV Seek the LORD while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near. [7] Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the LORD, And He will have mercy on him; And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon. [8] "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways," says the LORD. [9] "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.

The Cross
"Nothing in my hand I bring Simply to the Cross I cling Foul I to the Fountain fly Wash me Saviour or I die" "There is a Fountain filled with Blood Drawn from Immanuel's veins And sinners plunge beneath that flood Lose all their guilty stains" Hallelujah for the wonder of forgiveness we find at the Cross of Jesus "Not the labour of my hands Could fulfill the laws demands Could my tears forever Could my zeal no respite know All for sin could not atone You must save and You alo

Giving back what belongs to God
1 Chronicles 29:14-15 GNT "Yet my people and I cannot really give You anything, because everything is a gift from You, and we have only given back what is Yours already. [15] You know, O LORD, that we pass through life like exiles and strangers, as our ancestors did. Our days are like a passing shadow, and we cannot escape death. This is part of David's prayer of dedication. He had gathered together a great wealth of precious materials for the building of the Temple. Yet he a

Don't stop praying
Ecclesiastes 11:1 NKJV Cast your bread upon the waters, For you will find it after many days. Prayer is like throwing bread on the waters of God's unfathomable loving kindness. Yesterday some of that "bread" came "floating back" to me after many days. It was a prayer request that I had been repeating off and on for quite a few months. It seemed hopeless, but I prayed it anyway, but not with any great faith or conviction. Yet, there it came, unexpectedly in an email. The mirac

EVEN in old age!
Psalm 92:5-15 CSB How magnificent are Your works, LORD, how profound Your thoughts! [6] A stupid person does not know, a fool does not understand this: [7] though the wicked sprout like grass and all evildoers flourish, they will be eternally destroyed. [8] But You, LORD, are exalted forever. [9] For indeed, LORD, Your enemies- indeed, Your enemies will perish; all evildoers will be scattered. [10] You have lifted up my horn like that of a wild ox; I have been anointed with t

Coming to nothing
1 Corinthians 2:6-8 NKJV However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. [7] But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, [8] which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. I say a hearty "hallelujah" to this promise that the puffed up rulers of this w
