Lord, I cry out to You; make haste to me! Give ear to my voice when I cry out to You. 2 Let my prayer be set before You as incense, the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice. 3 Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips. 4 Do not incline my heart ….  Read More

Continuing with our initial meditation on the invitation of Jesus to ‘FOLLOW ME’, let us consider two other occasions, when this invitation was given to those who became disciples. If you were given the opportunity to choose a band of people to become your followers, I suspect, like me, you would probably be drawn to ….  Read More

Although Jesus was hated by many during His three years of public teaching in the land of Israel, there were those who followed Him.

O Lord, You have searched me and known me. 2 You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off. 3 You comprehend my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways. 4 For there is not a word on my tongue, but behold, O Lord, You know it altogether. 5 You have hedged me behind and before, ….  Read More

A common human trait is the ability to see the faults in others but the inability to recognise our own. The Bible does not allow us to escape from the truth that what is true of others is often true of ourselves. In our last meditation we thought of the all-inclusive word, WHOEVER. Today, we ….  Read More
