Showing the Whole Picture
As some of you will be aware, a number of us UK bloggers have paused our outputs for a few days as a mark of respect to the passing of Queen Elizabeth the second.
For today, I share a few brief verses for you to ponder throughout the day.
“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”
Psalms 147:3 NIV
We thank God who binds up broken hearts!

Some Bible verses for you to meditate on today
“After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. And they cried out in a loud voice: “Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.””
Revelation 7:9-10 NIV
Sharing some audio of a talk I gave a couple of years ago. Hope you enjoy.

Leading Home Bible Study for Children
This post, originally published over two years ago, was released during the height of the Covid pandemic in the UK.
While I hope we have now moved on from lockdowns and restrictions, the UK now faces another crisis in energy costs. I am sure it is the same where you are as well.
As our bills in every area increase, what does that mean for our giving to God? Should we cut it back? Should we stop altogether?
I hope you find the post interesting, and welcome your thoughts in the comments.
Giving can be a tough subject to discuss, and particularly at the moment with all the other issues going on in the world. However, a Christian who does not give is like a Christian who does not pray. Christians should be generous givers. There are many individuals and groups struggling because of the impact of…

“I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.”
Psalms 119:11 NIV
My family and I are experiencing a challenging time at the moment. this means I am blogging on the go, and so please excuse any formatting or lack thereof!
Over the past few days, I do not think I have stood still for one moment! My time with God has been seriously restricted, as has my time in his word.
Can you relate? Have you had similar seasons in life?
I rejoice that I have had opportunities to store God’s word in my heart in the past, and can draw on those resources now.
I strongly encourage you to hide God’s word in your heart during the sunny seasons in life. Life will always throw times of trouble at us, but we can prepare ahead of time.
This verse tells us that by hiding God’s word in our hearts, we will reduce the risk of sin. The more Bible we have within us, the stronger we will be to face temptation when it comes. And temptation is harder to resist during times of trouble, when we are tired or stressed.
Thank God for his precious word!

Today I share a timely post from Nicola over at Eaglesight – A blog I highly recommend!
I find myself feeling overwhelmed at the moment, trying to keep up with the demands of life and family. so this reminder in due season that Christ is my anchor and loves me dearly, is much appreciated.
