We recently started doing a series at our church called ‘Who Told You That?’ and we’re looking at some of the misconceptions we have about God and the Bible. It’s been an interesting series to prepare for as it’s made me look at some of my beliefs and ask myself where that belief started. The …

DEVOTIONAL | Now to Him Who is Able
One of my favourite verses in the Bible is Ephesians 3:20: Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us. It’s a verse that is very personal and dear to me. And one that I have recited and …
DEVOTIONAL: Sing, my soul!
I came across a song the other day called Sing Of This by Bethel Music. It’s an upbeat, faith song that encourages us to sing of who God is in our lives. Like many others, I can forget what I had for breakfast yesterday but can belt out a 90’s song at the top of …
DEVOTIONAL: He Delights in You
The other day as I was sitting at the kitchen counter, my little one starting dancing around the house. At 2.5 years old, she’s bursting with energy and doesn’t need music to break out her little dance moves. And every time she does, it just makes my heart smile. No matter what day I am …
DEVOTIONAL: Proclaim His Wonderous Works
We are doing a series at church on the book of ACTS, and I have found myself stuck in chapter two. On the day of Pentecost, with all the believers gathered in one room waiting, the Holy Spirit come upon them all and they all started speaking in other tongues. The bible tells us that …
DEVOTIONAL: He Is Still Worthy
Still Worthy Those that have been reading my blogs for while know that one of the ways that I connect with God is through music. Music is one of the few things that can still my mind. Worship music especially, can just centre my mind on Jesus and block everything else out. So I’m constantly …
DEVOTIONAL: Then Jesus
It was a dark and spooky night… I’m a visual person. I like to see things in front of me and I like to have little notes or signs to remind me of things. On my desk, I like to have pot-it notes and little signs to remind me of things and encourage me. One …
DEVOTIONAL: New Year, Same God
2024 has well and truly begun. It’s easy to be excited at a new year starting; there is a sense of anticipation the coming year will be better than the year before. Some of us had a great 2023 and some of us were counting down the minutes so we could farewell 2023. Some people …
DEVOTIONAL: Take refuge
Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” – Psalm 91 I love the imagery of God being a shelter and a refuge. When I read this verse, I imagine someone …
DEVOTIONS: Still
Still. Something God has been working on teaching me is around the word, still. It has long been a word that I have associated with being still before God; sitting at his feet and waiting on him to speak or move. Being still and trusting that He will do something in the current season. But …
