Devotions for Tuesday 27th July

Go to home page

For everything, there is a time, a place, and a season under God.

The rain falls, the sun shines, the winds blow and the seasons come and go;

But the Lord holds the balance of all life in His hands.

Our nations are policed, the judges enact law and our prisons seem full;

But the Lord brings true justice to the whole of His world.

Nation contends with nation and end up fighting others or themselves;

But the Lord alone defeats the evil which creates war.

Doctors do miracles by curing diseases, and research promises better health;

But the Lord heals all flesh and bone, and mind and spirit.

Politicians promise reform, we are cynical, and the press makes money out of it;

But the Lord changes people’s hearts and lives by love.

For everything there is a season, but the Word of the Lord lasts for ever.

Prayer ideas

Pray for the person who is nearest to you, your spouse, one of your parents or your children, or your closest friend.

On-going prayers

When I am sorrowful; Lord Jesus, comfort me.

When I am troubled; Lord Jesus, cleanse my heart.

When I am tempted; Lord Jesus, deliver me.

When I am forgetful; Lord Jesus, remind me.

And as I receive your help, may I grow in confidence,

for I have nothing to fear.  Thank You Lord Jesus:   AMEN

Bible studies from Philippians, Paul's letter to a church he had founded, to keep them on the right track!

Paul commends Timothy to his readers; this was a man he trusted, who would both bring the letter to the Philippians and also report back to Paul about whether it was received.
