I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Wednesday morning, the 11th of March, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

We go to the Book of Numbers 14:24:

”But My servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit in him and has followed Me fully, I will bring into the land where he went, and his descendants shall inherit it.”

What a promise from God! Do you know that Joshua and Caleb were 80 years old when their real work began, when they had to take over from Moses and take a grumbling, moaning, rebellious nation into the promised land? What a task. God loved Caleb. You know Caleb had a spirit that was totally different to anybody else's. When Joshua said to Caleb, right at the end, ”Because of your faithfulness, you can have anything you want.” He said, ”Give me the big mountains where the big giants live.” Over 80 years old. Now come on boys, come on ladies, it’s never too late. Faithfulness, even when the crowd did not remain faithful!

If I had to ask you, ”Give me one word to describe Caleb?” He was faithful, that’s what he was, and that’s why God loved him so much. He did not become discouraged by what other people thought of him. He refused to be influenced by the negative talk and attitude of the majority. He remained steadfast, keeping his eyes fixed on God, right through his lifetime. He didn’t blow hot and cold, and he didn’t allow the tough things in life to keep him back from the fight, and of course, what happened? Yes, he had the victory.

Today, many of you, including me must be careful that the fear of man does not hold us back. Caleb had no fear of man. He didn’t care what people thought of him; his only concern was what God thought of him. Today, ask God to give you that same different spirit, not the spirit of this world but the Spirit of God, the Spirit that is resolute.

Hebrews 12:1:

”Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses…”

We’ve got people in heaven that are cheering us on, we’ve got to finish strong! We’ve got to be like Caleb. We’ve got to be leaders.

Jesus Christ bless you today as you remain faithful to God. He will not let you down.

Goodbye.

I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Tuesday morning, the 10th of March, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

We start in the Gospel of Luke 24:51:

”… while He blessed them, that He was parted from them and carried up into heaven.”

Then we go to Acts 1:11:

“…Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.”

Then the last scripture is Hebrews 12:1:

”Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses,…”

Jesus is coming back again! Oh Lord, we can’t wait. Today would not be soon enough. He’s coming back the same way He left. He left from the top of the Mount of Olives just outside Jerusalem. He said He’s coming back again to fetch you and me. Oh Granny, keep strong! Oh, Grandad, keep your eyes lifted up! Young man, young lady just keep running the race! That is the way we are going to finish this race.

I am what you call a cloud watcher. Every day when I get up, and I look at those magnificent clouds building up, I say, ”Lord, is it today?” He’s coming back the same way He left. He’s coming back from heaven to earth in the clouds to come and to fetch you and me and to take us home to be with Him in glory, but until that time, you and I have to keep on running this race.

Keep on looking up, opening our eyes and thanking Jesus for every single opportunity every day we have to sow good seed because He’s coming back, as He promised, to take us home to be with Him in paradise.

So today, remember, if Christ is for us, who can possibly stand against us.

Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day.
Goodbye.
