Come, Holy Spirit

Continuing my journey through the Psalms, and today was 104. It’s a beautiful song of praise to God as Creator and Sustainer.

A little aside, but one thing I’ve been learning recently about reading Scripture, is reading DEVOTIONALLY.

I Will

Just a short thought.

I’m reading through the Psalms at the moment - and loving it. Lingering longer than I have done in the past. And enjoying things strike me in a new way.

Thank God for Women...

It’s International Women’s Day today.

So in that spirit….

Today, I am thankful for Mary…who allowed her world to be shaken as she obediently carried the Saviour of the world.

For the life of the world.

That’s what Jesus said.

This bread is my flesh.

Which I will give.

For the life of the world.

A Change of Perspective

I’m working my way through the Psalms and this morning I was in Psalm 77.

I started reading and got caught up in the Psalmist’s despair.

The Word

Do we know what we’re doing when we come to the Bible,

to Scripture,

to the Word?

Do we know what it is we have in our hands?

The Woodpecker

Yesterday I heard the woodpecker;

drum his beat in a tree.

Fast and steady. Pausing, I’m guessing,

to catch his breath.

Grace

It’s your grace that broke into my life – not in a dramatic way…not in a thunderbolt kind of way…but in an almost unnoticeable way…gently wooing me…gently winning my heart…gently drawing me nearer and nearer to yourself.

Being a Child of God

There’s a great 1960s anthem written by Joni Mitchell called ‘Woodstock’ which aims to capture the spirit of that iconic music festival. And one of the best versions of the song is by Crosby, Still, Nash and Young with their trademark harmonies being a highlight.
