Daily Scripture:‘For this commandment which I command you today is not too mysterious for you, nor is it far off. It is not in heaven, that you should say ‘Who will ascend into heaven for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?’ Nor is it beyond the sea, that you should say ‘Who will go over the sea for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?’But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it.’ (Deuteronomy 30,11-14)Daily Reflection:Sometimes we make things out to be a lot harder than in fact they are. Moses assures the Israelites that God’s presence is the most natural thing in the world, a part of our existence. We don’t have to search high and low for God; he is already here with us. His will for our lives is not remote and inaccessible, but well within our reach and our understanding, And having heard and understood, we must, as Moses says, ‘do it’.Revd Rosemary Kobus van Wengen
Daily Scripture:‘While they were talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, ‘Peace be with you’.’ (Luke 24 v 36)Daily Reflection:Jesus gave the disciples his peace, the same way he is giving us his peace. Jesus gives us his peace, first to experience it within our self. He gives us peace from all the sins we have committed. He gives us peace for all the times we doubted him, for all the times we chose not to follow his will and stick to what we want. He gives us peace from all our shortcomings and failures. He gives us peace from the circumstances around us - to calm us down amidst the storms of life.As we experience Christ’s peace, we are encouraged to give it away as well. Like in love, we are able to love because Christ loved us first, we too are capable to forgive and give peace to one another.Lyn Hayes ALM
Daily Scripture‘Remember the wonderful works he has done…’ (Psalm 105 v5)Daily ReflectionThe God we speak about, today in 2020, is the same God spoken about in the Bible. The saviour God who rescued the Israelites from 400 years of slavery; the mighty God who parted the Red Sea to help them escape; the personal God who guided them through the desert as a cloud during the day and a pillar of fire at night… That was then, and this is now – the same saviour God who sent his son to die so that you could start life anew with Him; the mighty God who holds everything in the palm of His hand; the personal God who loves you, and longs for a relationship with you. The same God, still showing His wonderful works today. Vicki Young
