I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Friday morning, the 27th of March, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

We start in the Book of Isaiah 47:12:

“Stand now with your enchantments and the multitude of your sorceries, in which you have labored from your youth—Perhaps you will be able to profit, perhaps you will prevail.”

The Lord speaking through Isaiah. Trust in your enchantments and maybe, maybe, you’ll profit by it. We don’t think so, do we?

Then we go to the Book of Numbers 23:8:

“How shall I curse whom God has not cursed? And how shall I denounce whom the Lord has not denounced?”

We’re talking about the Children of Israel. Balak wanted the prophet Balaam to curse the Children of Israel, but he was not a fool. He said, ”How can I curse what God has not cursed and how can I denounce what the Lord has not denounced?”

I believe the Lord is saying to us today and this is a special word for certain people including myself. There is no security in the wisdom of the world. The is no security in fortune telling, old wives tales, horoscopes, etc. There is no security in lucky charms and there is no security in false prophets. Whoever comes and tells you something, ask them one question, ”Can you show me where it says that in the Bible?” And if they say, ”No, I can’t show you but somebody told me,” disregard it. It’s the word of God in these last days that will keep you and me from straying and going the wrong way. Even Balaam would not prophesy against the Lord.

If you look at Proverbs 3:5-6, we know it very well:

”Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.”

So it doesn’t matter who it is. It doesn’t matter if it’s some person with a great reputation. If they cannot back it up with the word of God, please disregard it.

Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day.
Goodbye.

I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Thursday morning, the 26th of March, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

We go straight to 1 Corinthians 13:1: Paul says:

“Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.”

Then we go to verse 13:

“And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.”

There is no doubt about it, it is the most powerful force on earth because it is God. God is love. He who does not love God does not know God.

Many years ago, I had the privilege of speaking to a large group of Welsh farmers, their wives and their children, in a big agricultural hall. I will never forget it. They started to sing that well-known hymn that originated in the Welsh Revival at the turn of the last century. But they didn’t sing it in English. They sang it in Welsh, a beautiful language. And I want to sing it to you, just the first verse, and think of these words.

Here is love vast as the ocean,
Loving kindness as the flood,
When the Prince of Life, my ransom,
Shed for me His precious blood.
Who His love will not remember?
Who can cease to sing His praise?
He shall never be forgotten,
Through Heaven’s everlasting day.

After that hymn was sung, I was weeping, I could not speak. Such love! Love is also powerful. Do you know the story of the lady who was in the kitchen? Her son was working on a car outside, and the jack that was holding up the car, a huge American limousine, slipped and fell, and he was trapped underneath the car, and obviously, he shouted out for help. His mother ran out, a little lady, and picked up the car so that they could get the young man out from underneath it. The car weighed 3,000 lbs. How is that possible? It is only possible through love. Such love she had for her son that she did something that defied gravity completely, and she held that car up until the neighbour came and pulled the boy out.

Today, go out and love one another because that is what Jesus said.

God bless you and have a wonderful day.
Goodbye.

I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Wednesday morning, the 25th of March, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

We go to the New Testament, Matthew 6:9:

”In this manner, therefore, pray, Our Father in heaven,…”

What a beautiful sound in Father’s ear to hear his children cry out to Him: “Our Father who art in heaven…” That’s for young men and young women, old men and old women, and especially the children. It’s the best name by which we can think of God as our Father.

Martin Luther said, ”It is a loving, deep, sweet, heart-touching name, for the name of Father is, in its nature, full of inborn sweetness and comfort." As a father myself, I love to hear the name, when my children, grandchildren call me “Father”. It makes me feel so wanted, so warm. You might say, ”But Uncle Angus, I don’t have a father.” You might not have a father on earth, oh, but you’ve got a Father in heaven who created you, and He is just looking forward to seeing you at home time. Can you imagine the day when Father says, ”Welcome home John, welcome home Mary”? What a day that will be! In Zulu we say, ”Baba.” In the Xhosa language we say, ”Tata.”

I have many men that have asked me to mentor them, five hundred and forty at the last count. I’m not their father. No, no, I don’t even pretend to be their father, but I do mentor them. Many of them don’t have an earthly father so they call me “Dad,” but they don’t call me “Father.” I love them dearly. When I get a message from them to say, ”Dad, we just want to tell you, we were praying for you this morning.” It touches my heart deeply.

Maybe there’s a lady out there who says, ”I’ve never had a father. I don’t know what a father’s like.” Oh, spend time in your closet speaking to Him and you’ll get to know Him so well. He is such a very special God. He’s your protector. He is your soon-coming king. He is your all-in-all. If you acknowledge Him as Father, you’ll have nothing to worry about.

Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day.
Goodbye.
