I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Thursday morning, the 21st of May, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

We go to the Book of Acts 19:11:

“Now God worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul, so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were brought from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out of them.”

Oh, I want to ask you a question today. Do you believe in miracles? I really do and I have seen too many of them to doubt the hand of God. I looked up the Oxford Dictionary to get the definition of the word “Miracle”, and this is what it says: A miracle is a welcome event that is so extraordinary that it is thought to be the work of God or a saint. It is a wonder, it is a marvel, it is unbelievable.

Now, I want to tell you about another miracle that happened in my life. Many years ago, there was a farmer. His name was Job. He was going through a terrible drought in the north-west of our country. He reached out and said, “Please pray. We need rain. My boreholes are drying up. We don’t have enough water.” He had a dairy farm and his cows were really battling, no food, no water. So we flew up to the farm and before we went up there I had read the account of Elisha and the salt. If we look at 2 Kings 2:22, and this is what it says: “So the water remains healed to this day, according to the word of Elisha which he spoke.” So I took a bag of coarse salt with us, about 5 kilos, and we flew up in the aeroplane. I got to his farm. I wanted to know, “Where is his main borehole?” and I walked up and all the staff got around. We poured the coarse salt down into the borehole and we prayed a prayer.

Well, it wasn’t a week later, we got a report that there was a flood in that area and there was so much rain that it actually washed the road away. God answered prayer.

I’ve been to that very spring which Elisha poured the salt into the bitter water and I can tell you it is sweet even to this day. Please do not limit God!

Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day.
Goodbye.

I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Wednesday morning, the 20th of May, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

We go to the Gospel of Luke 19:13. This is a parable of Jesus:

"So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, ‘Do business till I come.’

I want to speak this morning about stewardship. I looked up the Oxford dictionary to try and find out the definition of the word “stewardship” - a person who is employed to look after or manage a large estate or a home. Now, I want to speak to you specifically about the stewardship of resources entrusted to servants to look after. For example, silver, gold, but also about giftings and abilities and opportunities that God gives us to develop and to tell people about the Kingdom of God, faithful investments.

Many of us say, ”What can we do? You know, I’m an old-age pensioner now. There’s nothing else I can do.” There is plenty that you can do. The first thing you can do is to start praying for others. Yes, using what you’ve got for the Lord. There’s a man, he is 90 years old, his name is Bill Gaither. He was being interviewed, and the man interviewing him said, ”You have lived a long time, and you have done many, many wonderful things.” This man has written over 700 songs. He has been the father to many of the greatest performers and Christian singers of the era.

He got the award for the Christian songwriter of the century, oh yes. Him and his wife have won six Grammy awards, twenty Dove awards. He is an absolute giant in the Christian music industry, and he was asked by the man who was interviewing him, ”What is the most important thing that you think a man should concentrate on?” And you know what he said? He said, ”Stewardship. Looking after what you have been given.”

Now, we go back to the scripture today that the Lord has given us and the nobleman said to his servants, ”Do business till I come.” I want to say to you today. The Lord is speaking to somebody specifically. He says, ”Do not stop. Complete what you started and the Lord will give you more.” Don’t be concerned about yesterday, it’s gone, we haven’t got tomorrow, it’s only today to be concerned about, and we need to do business until He comes because He could come at any time, and when He comes, it is good that He finds you and me working hard for the Kingdom.

Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day.
Goodbye.

I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Tuesday morning, the 19th of May, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

We go to the Gospel of John 2:5:

“His mother said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.”

I want to tell you about a lady who did just that, and she lived many years ago. Her name was Florence Nightingale. She is known as the founder of modern nursing. She reduced the death rates by simply improving hygiene and living standards. She was known as the “Lady with the Lamp” because she used to make her rounds every night to check on the wounded soldiers during the war. I have a daughter who studied nursing and it is wonderful to see the heart of compassion that these kind of people have. Now we’re not talking about great preachers or people that have done great things. We are talking about people who simply obey the Word of the Lord.

You might be saying today, ”Well you know, I have had very little education. I have had very little opportunity to serve the Lord.” You can serve the Lord wherever you are and whatever you are doing. Now I want to read a quotation from this woman of God, Florence Nightingale. She said, “If I could give you information of my life, it would be to show how a woman of very ordinary ability has been led by God in strange and unaccustomed paths to do in His service what He has done in her. And if I could tell you all, you would see how God has done all, and I nothing. I have worked hard, very hard, that is all; and I have never refused God anything.” Isn’t that beautiful?

I want to say to you today, whatever it is that God has told you to do, do it with all your heart. Because the servants filled up the water vats with water, Jesus turned the water into wine. The first miracle that took place in the marriage feast in Cana. Now, maybe God has called you to be a school teacher, maybe God has called you to be a farmer, maybe God has called you to be an airline pilot, or maybe God has called you to be a housewife. Do it with all of your heart, and the Lord will use that to change the lives of many.

Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day.
Goodbye.
