As our lockdown continues, why not take a good look out of your window today? Is there anyone to whom you could reach out to with compassion this week? Everyone is finding life difficult at present, so why not ask the Lord how you can help?

‘Sure and steadfast is the anchor – the anchor that holds you fast. The Lord and his hope is fixed upon you, so do not fear, for nothing and no one can pluck you out of his hand.’ Amen.
On Friday, we celebrated VE day and the Queen made a speech to mark the 75 years that have passed since the peace treaty was signed with Germany. In her speech, the Queen quoted from her father’s speech of that era when said, “We will never give up; we will never despair.” How true that is for the Christian. She also said that despite the lockdown, “Our streets are filled with love”. How wonderful if this continues and is augmented by the love of Jesus.

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

I imagine we are all struggling with our imposed self isolation and wondering when it will end. Well this weekend, could please pray for all the families with young children who simply want to go out and play with their friends. I know they are finding things particularly difficult at present. The good news is that although our living conditions have changed, our God is still the same. He promises that when you call on Him, He will answer (Psalm 91:15). What an amazing God.

Many people are hearing only the bad news, but from Brazil to India many men and women are turning in repentance back to God at this time, as they recognise the urgency of the times we are living in.

In what ways do you see your life as a journey of discovery with God? Think about where are you on that journey. What is God revealing to you as you go along? Be assured He is walking right besides you even when you feel He isn’t!
