Do you sometimes simply run out of steam? Do you sometimes feel you simply can’t go on? Then make a cup of tea, sit down, spend some time with the Lord and let His spirit revitalise you.

“Without the Spirit of God, we can do nothing. We are as ships without wind. We are useless.” – Charles Spurgeon

When things go wrong or you are simply having a bad day, think on this: “God is too good to be unkind and He is too wise to be mistaken. And when we cannot trace His hand, we must trust His heart.” — Charles Spurgeon

Some of you may not know that C. T. Studd (1860–1931) was a famous English cricketer who gave up wealth and fame to become a missionary in China, India, and Africa. He is best known for his passionate faith and inspirational quotes. This week I hope this quote will inspire you to do great things for our great God.

“Only one life, ’twill soon be past; only what’s done for Christ will last.”

I’ve had a difficult week which included a power cut that lasted for 19 hours, a car window that remained completely down despite my efforts and a garage roller door that refused to go up or down. So perhaps this week’ quote is aimed at me and anyone else whose week hasn’t gone to plan – “Circumstances may appear to wreck our lives and God’s plans, but God is not helpless among the ruins.” — Eric Liddell

As we continue with the lovely summer weather, spend a few moments reflecting on this quote by Billy Graham: “The heavens are telling the glory of God. When I look at the sunrise, I see His glory. When I look at the sunset, I see His glory.” God’s creation is truly amazing isn’t it – simply enjoy it!
