You can read the NIV translation of Psalm 24 here. This is an interpretation. My God is so big, so strong and so mighty; there’s nothing that He cannot do. My God is so big, so strong and so mighty; there’s nothing that He cannot do. The rivers are His, the mountains are His,...
Joshua: Strong and Very Courageous (Part Three)
One of my very favourite things about the Bible (second to Jesus) is how many kick-butt women God sowed into His story. Not just women; but strong, real, unafraid, beautiful women, who become a part of the story in a massive way. Rahab is one of those women, and this is the part that...
Joshua: Strong and Very Courageous (Part Two)
It’s almost ironic that my plans for the beginning of this series on Joshua have not worked out quite the way that I thought they would; and that instead, God has come in and changed things up a little bit. The book of Joshua breaks down quite nicely into four “acts”, which we had...
How To: Survive Uni Without Cracking
It’s that time of year: pack up your suitcase, pop to B&M Homestores, raid your Mum’s kitchen for spare spatulas, load up the car and head off to university. Whether you’re just starting, or going into your second or third year (or beyond!), this is a massively important time of year – lots of...
Joshua: Strong and Very Courageous (Part One)
Here’s story so far: at the very beginning of the Old Testament, we see God choose Abraham, and his family became the people of Israel, who quickly become slaves in Egypt. Through Moses, God rescued the Israelites out of Egypt (remember the red sea?); He made a covenant with them at Mt. Sinai, and...
Happy Endings: Lessons from Ruth (Part Four)
We’ve reached the good bit, guys: the part where you sit up a little bit straighter on your sofa, popcorn in hand, with that familiar warm, fuzzy feeling as the lovely rom-com comes to an end. We’ve reached the finale of our journey with Ruth, the young girl who was widowed, and who made...
Finding Home: Lessons from Ruth (Part Three)
Home is one of my very favourite places to be. At the moment, I have the honour of sharing a beautiful house in Cambridge with four other girls, and it is a delight. It’s a place that has stepped straight out of Pinterest – we have the fairy lights, we have the flowers and...
Well Done: Lessons from Ruth (Part Two)
Time to play catch up, friends: if you missed last week’s post, we’ve been looking through the book of Ruth. Ruth is one of my favourite books in the Bible: four chapters that are more beautiful than the majority of chic-flicks that I would pick out on a Friday night in. Ruth is this...
Faithfulness Trumps Logic: Lessons from Ruth (Part One)
I’m a big fan of a good love story. There’s literally nothing better than time spent under a blanket on a rainy day, with some chocolate and a great movie. If you grew up around the same time that I did, I hope you share the same love for that scene at the end...
Psalm 27: ish
You can read the NIV translation of Psalm 27 here. This is an interpretation. God is my everything – He is the one who saves me, who keeps me secure; He is the one who I run to and He casts light on everything around me. He is the one who fills me...
