    December 16th - Psalm 89:8
    Dec 16 2025
    Psalm 89:8 O LORD God of Heaven’s Armies! Where is there anyone as mighty as you, O Lord? You are entirely faithful. Faithfulness is a wonderful word. To find someone who is absolutely trustworthy and dependable is an incredible blessing, and the psalmist is convinced that God is exactly that. He looks into the heavens and reflects on the awesomeness of creation and concludes that God is entirely faithful, unlike anyone else. I am happy to be the owner of lots of insurance policies! I like the security that insurance gives and am more than happy to pay up, but we only need insurance because we live in a world where there is so much uncertainty. Things break and people let us down, and we need to have the cushion of insurance to keep life going. However, when we look to God, we need to take out no insurance against the possibility that he might let us down. We can lean with all our weight on him, knowing that he will never fail us. I love Deuteronomy 33:26-27, where Moses, like the psalmist, speaks of God against the great canvas of creation: “There is no one like the God of Israel. He rides across the heavens to help you, across the skies in majestic splendour. The eternal God is your refuge, and his everlasting arms are under you.” David Winter, the broadcaster, once commented on that last verse that God has never dropped a catch yet! If you place your life in the hands of God, you can be sure that you are safe for time and eternity. Life challenges us all in innumerable ways and the future is a mystery, but if we know that God will always be by our side, we can go forward with confidence and peace. Question In what way is God’s faithfulness important to you? Prayer Loving God, I thank you that you can be depended upon completely. Help me to trust you with every part of my life. Amen

  • December 15th - Revelation 21:3-4

    December 15th - Revelation 21:3-4
    Dec 15 2025
    Revelation 21:3-4 [John wrote:] “I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, “Look, God’s home is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them. He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.” Here, John gives us a wonderful vision of heaven. If our present world is characterised by the gap between God and humankind, heaven is the place where no such gap exists. God will live with his people with an intimacy that we cannot fully experience here on earth. In consequence, it will be a place where death, sorrow, crying and pain have come to an end. All four have to do with separation, and when we are in the nearer presence of God, there will be no separation. What a joy and relief that will be! Christians have varied enormously in their thinking about heaven. Some have devoted so much time and energy to focusing on heaven that they have been distracted from their responsibilities here on earth. To use the famous expression, they have been ‘so heavenly-minded that they have been no earthly good’! However, I have met far more Christians at the other end of the spectrum. They have been so earthly-minded that they have barely thought about their eternal home. I believe that God wants us to keep our eyes fixed on our eternal home because that will give us confidence and peace as we live our lives here on earth. When Jesus was preparing to leave his disciples, he sought to give them reassurance by pointing out that there was more than enough room in his Father’s home. He told them that he was going ahead of them to prepare the way and, in answer to Thomas’ questioning, replied that he himself was the way, the truth and the life (John 14:1-6). We don’t need to know the details of heaven, and the Bible offers no more than clues about what it will be like, but we do need to know that we are in safe hands and that everything has been prepared for us. That’s precisely the assurance that we have been given. Question What do you think heaven will be like? Prayer Lord God, thank you that my future is totally secure in your hands. Amen

  • December 14th - Revelation 5:12

    December 14th - Revelation 5:12
    Dec 14 2025
    Revelation 5:12 “Worthy is the Lamb who was slaughtered – to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honour and glory and blessing.” Life is full of mysteries. The evil of our world is agonising, and the innocent suffer in ways that continually horrify and distress us. In this chapter, John shares his vision of a scroll which held the answers to the mysteries of the world, but there was a problem. There were seven seals to this scroll, and nobody could be found to open it. John wept bitterly at this, but the 24 elders pointed out that somebody had been found who was worthy to break open the seal. He was the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the heir to David’s throne, none other than Jesus Christ himself. Jesus was the victorious lion but also the lamb. He had only won his great victory because he had been willing to become a sacrificial offering. In response, millions of angels burst out in song, praising him. This takes us to the heart of this amazing book. It recognises the terrible evil of the world but directs us to the one who both understands what is going on and has won the greatest victory over darkness. I love that this momentous event was celebrated by singing, and the singing only grew in intensity. The following verse talks about every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea singing in celebration of the greatness of the Lamb. When we sing in our churches, we need to remind ourselves that we are taking part in an eternal chorus of praise to God. As we sing, we enjoy a unique form of unity not only with those around us but with the whole of God’s people in every place and in every age. There are many aspects to the book of Revelation that are strange and unfamiliar to us, but amid the strangeness, we need to cling tightly to those things which are incredibly clear. The greatest of them is that Jesus is Lord. To a society which believed that Caesar was Lord, and in which the Church faced continual persecution and rejection, this brought great encouragement. To us today, as we gaze at the brokenness and sadness of an ungodly and destructive world, we need to draw new encouragement and strength from the fact that Jesus is Lord. Question What encouragement do you draw from this passage? Prayer Lord Jesus Christ, I worship you, for blessing, honour, glory and power belong to you. Amen
