Before the 40 Days of Devotion I felt God speak to me about the importance of praying persistently, passionately and fervently. Essentially, I was set a heavenly challenge to really go after things! In all honesty, this is a really big shift in how I have thought and prayed up until now in my Christian…
One of my favourite Bible stories is God’s rescue of his people from the hands of the Egyptians by the parting of the Red Sea. However, when I first read this it amazed me to find only a short while after this miraculous deliverance that the Israelites turned away from God and instead built themselves…
Thank you Jubilee for the 40 day devotional blogs. They have been excellent. I have absolutely loved reading each blog of the 40 day series. They have been directional, touching, honest and motivating not only for the writers, but to me as a friend and reader. We are all so different, unique and learn in…
Regrets and Excuses For some reason I don’t like regrets and excuses in my life. This is not to say I don’t ever regret/give excuses but I desire no compatibility with these two and we are certainly not friends. Early in my walk with God I realised that it was important and beneficial to be…
Do you struggle to read the Bible every day? Do you struggle to take in, understand and let what you’re reading change your life? Me too! Some people find studying the Bible easy and they do it every day without fail. But I’ve always found it hard. I long to know the Bible inside and…
I’ll be honest straight from the bat: I am really bad at being intentional. Sorry Simon. When the 40 Days of Devotion were approaching this year, I was getting a little bit nervous. Because I knew that whatever I would do, I could not do it for the full 40 days. But I decided not…
It seems like the natural thing to do, husband and wife praying together, but is it? Talking to friends over the past few months it seems not, us included, so my 40 Days of Devotion are to do just that – pray daily with my wife. Where did my inspiration come from? It’s something I…
Before writing this I spoke to someone and said “ I have no idea what to write for my blog, I haven’t done very well this year with 40 Days of Devotion, I am just at my normal level of devotion.” Having said this (and the person prayed for me for some inspiration from God)…
Fear. We all fear something. Fear of speaking in front of a crowd, fear of missing out (a.k.a. FOMO), fear of heights (for me roller coasters are no-no!), rejection, the list goes on. It can have so much control in our lives and it can stop us from stepping out and trusting the Creator of…
I was 13 years old when I realised I was a sinner in need of a saviour. I am so grateful to God that, when I was so lost, He found me. God says, “Remember your creator in the days of your youth, before the difficult days come.” Ecclesiastes 12v1 Fast forward, and suddenly I…
