00908 - Your Shoulders Are Big Enough
Faith gives us the strength to weather the storms of life, no matter how fierce they may seem. It’s not about our shoulders being strong enough on their own but about relying on God, who equips us to carry the burdens we face. Faith allows us to trust that He works even in the most challenging circumstances, giving us resilience and hope. Philippians 4:13 wonderfully reminds us, “For I can do everything God asks me to with the help of Christ who gives me the strength and powe
00907 - Praying The Bible
Praying the Bible is a fantastic way to connect with God and deepen your faith. It allows you to align your prayers with His Word, ensuring that your petitions and praises are rooted in truth. By speaking Scripture back to God, you declare His promises and build your confidence in His faithfulness and guidance. Isaiah 55:11 reminds us, “So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prospe
00906 - Eating Non Processed Food
In today’s fast-paced world, ultra-processed foods or ready meals can quickly become the norm, but there is great value in choosing fresh, whole foods. Preparing meals from fresh vegetables not only nurtures our bodies but honours the way God intended us to care for ourselves. By eating closer to what nature provides, we find energy, health, and a deeper connection to God’s creation. Genesis 1:29 reminds us, “Then God said, ‘I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of
00905 - Nerdy
If you’re a bit nerdy, embrace it—it’s not a problem; it’s an advantage. Your passion for knowledge, detail, and unique interests is a gift from God that can be used in amazing ways. God created each of us with different strengths and quirks, and these traits can make a real impact in the world. Your interests, no matter how niche, can bring joy, insight, and innovation to those around you. Psalm 139:14 says, “I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful a
00904 - Get Your Time Back
Finding time and peace can feel impossible in our fast-paced world, but there are ways to reclaim both. First, prioritise quiet time with God. Just as Jesus often withdrew to pray, we can find restoration in moments of stillness with Him. Psalm 46:10 reminds us, “Be still, and know that I am God” (NIV). Take even a few moments each day to be still before He provides us with His peace. Secondly, learn to say no. Only some opportunities are meant to be pursued. By setting bound
00903 - Amen
The word “Amen” holds incredible magnitude in our Christian walk. It’s not just a simple ending to a prayer but a declaration of agreement, trust, and belief. When we say “Amen,” we affirm that we stand with the truth we’ve just spoken or heard, acknowledging God’s authority and aligning our hearts with His will. Saying Amen is a powerful affirmation that resonates through our prayers and actions. 2 Corinthians 1:20 tells us, “For every one of God’s promises is ‘Yes’ in him.
Neighbours at Christmas
Each year we reach out to our neighbours with little gift bags to around 70 of them. There's a little card, a chocolate some kind of Christian gift, and invite to an open house that we do just before Christmas. We also include a local social action project we all as neighbours could get behind. This year we asked neighbours to give items to children who have been in foster care, who have since needed to leave because of their age. They have about two years then in transitiona
00902 - The Longest Border In The World
The border between Canada and The United States is the longest border in the entire world, spanning 8,891km or 5,525 miles. In our Christian life, no boundaries divide us. Whether we live on opposite sides of the globe or come from vastly different cultures, as Christians, we are part of one kingdom—God’s Kingdom. This spiritual bond transcends physical borders, reminding us that we are citizens of heaven, bound by a shared faith and love for Christ. Philippians 3:20 declare
00901 - The Benefit Of Sleep
Sleep is one of God’s simple yet profound gifts to us. It renews our bodies, restores our minds, and strengthens us for the day ahead. Sleep can often be undervalued in our fast-paced world, but taking time to rest is an essential part of living well. God created us with the need for rest, showing that He values balance and well-being. Psalm 127:2 reminds us, “It is useless for you to work so hard from early morning until late at night, anxiously working for food to eat; for
00900 - Gluten Free
Coeliac disease and other food intolerances are becoming increasingly common in our society, challenging many to adjust their lifestyles and find new ways to nourish themselves. These conditions remind us of the fragility of our bodies and the importance of caring for our health. In moments like these, we’re called to lean on God’s strength and wisdom, trusting Him to guide us through the complexities of living with such challenges. Psalm 139:14 beautifully reminds us, “I pra
00899 - Expecting An Answer
Expecting an answer to prayer involves aligning our hearts with God’s will and seeking Him earnestly. First, we must approach with faith, believing He hears and responds to His children. James 1:6 tells us, “But when you pray, you must believe and not doubt at all. Whoever doubts is like a wave in the sea that is driven and blown about by the wind” (GNT). Faith is the foundation of effective prayer. Secondly, living in obedience to God leads to answered prayers. When we follo
00898 - Jehovah-Hoseenu
Jehovah-Hoseenu, meaning "The Lord Our Maker," reminds us of God’s incredible power and creativity. He is the One who formed us, crafted with intentional care and purpose. Recognising Him as our Maker instils a profound sense of worth and direction in our lives. We are not accidents but uniquely designed by the Creator Himself, each of us holding value and potential. Psalm 95:6 beautifully declares, “O come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the Lord our Maker
00897 - Taking Flight
Taking flight in your idea or ministry requires faith and the courage to leave your comfort zone. When God places a vision on your heart, it’s not meant to remain dormant but to fly for the sake of His Kingdom. Trusting Him as you move forward allows you to experience His power and provision in ways you could never imagine. Isaiah 40:31 reminds us, “But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be
00896 - Happy Days
Experiencing happy days is more than just a fleeting pleasure; it rejuvenates the spirit and fuels our ability to lead and inspire others. When we cherish moments of joy, we find renewed strength and perspective. These moments of happiness are blessings from God, refreshing us to continue our path with purpose and passion. Proverbs 17:22 states, “A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones” (ESV). This verse underscores the profound impact that jo
00895 - Water The Seeds Of Faith
Watering your seed of faith involves nurturing each decision with prayer, dedication, and proactive steps. When you decide to do something, don’t leave it to chance—pray before God, seeking His wisdom and guidance. This surrender shows you trust Him, the true source of growth and success. Proverbs 16:3 says, “Commit your work to the Lord, and then it will succeed” (TLB). This scripture reminds us that when we commit our plans to God, aligning them with His will, we create fer
00894 - Watching Your Weight
Maintaining a healthy weight is crucial for long-term well-being, especially as we grow older. It is not just about appearance but ensuring that we care for the body God has entrusted to us. Good decisions start with self-discipline, including wise choices supporting physical health. By caring for ourselves, we set an example for those around us, showing that stewardship extends to how we treat our bodies. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 reminds us: “You should know that your body is a
00893 - Books Of The Bible : 2 Chronicles
The book of 2 Chronicles is rich with faith lessons, showing us both the rewards of trusting God and the consequences of turning away from Him. It tells the stories of kings who led with either faith or folly, highlighting that a life committed to God brings blessing while forsaking Him invites struggle. These accounts remind us that God’s faithfulness is steadfast, and when we seek Him earnestly, He responds with grace and guidance. 2 Chronicles 7:14 says: “If my people, who
00892 - Painting
Painting can be a wonderful way to express ourselves and connect with God’s creativity. When we paint, we tap into the joy of creating, reflecting the creativity that comes from being made in the image of God. It provides a space for reflection, peace, and personal growth, allowing our minds to rest and our hearts to be uplifted as we pour beauty onto a canvas. Psalm 19:1 reminds us of God’s own masterpiece: “The heavens declare the glory of God, and the expanse proclaims the
00891 - Repentance
Repentance is more than just feeling sorry for our mistakes; it is a heartfelt turning back to God. It means acknowledging where we’ve gone wrong, asking for His forgiveness, and consciously changing our ways. Repentance is an apology, an act of humility and sincerity that opens the door for God’s grace and renewal in our lives. Acts 3:19 encourages us: “Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the prese
00890 - Destined For Greatness
In Christ, we are rescued from sin and called to a life of purpose and greatness. God’s plans for us extend beyond mere existence; He has designed each of us with a unique destiny. This isn’t about recognition but fulfilling a life that echoes His glory and love. When we trust Him and walk according to His will, we step into the fullness of the life He intended for us. Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us of this profound truth: “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the
