Continuing reflection on the Prayer Card from the Christian organisation called Medical Missionary News (https://mmn.uk.com), Tuesday’s prayer is for COMMUNITY HEALTHCARE PROGRAMMES. “Many cannot afford to go to the hospital or clinic. Please pray for the mobile clinics, medical camps and home visits, as medical teams go out into the rural areas to give primary…

For many years, my wife and I have been supporters of a Christian organisation called Medical Missionary News (https://mmn.uk.com), and for a few years have used their Prayer Card as part of our breakfast readings. It uses the same wording for each day of the week, and I thought for seven TFTD’s, I would quote the…

PSALM 119 verse 105 Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light on my path. I was reminded of this verse after I had read a daily Prayer Guide from Open Doors. A man in Yemen is preparing for capture by the authorities by memorising scripture. He said, “I want to be…

Mark chapter 4 verses 35 to 41 shares a lovely story that was recently the basis for my morning Bible reading, but concentrating on the storm and how Jesus is as much with us in our storms as He was with his disciples. Whenever I am reminded of this account, the phrase that attracts me…

We had been attending a church for about 18 months when we were blessed with our first daughter. We travelled about five miles from our village and determined that this new arrival would not stop our regular attendance.

Then Pilate announced to the chief priests and the crowd, “I find no basis for a charge against this man.”  Anyone unfamiliar with this story might assume that “this man” would be released. A few verses later, Pilate repeated his ruling, in verse 14 and added: “he has done nothing to deserve death.” Yet verse…

Listening to a Christian radio station, the hymn Great is Thy faithfulness was followed by Lord, I come before Your throne of grace, which includes the phrase, What a faithful God have I. It was an apt reminder that this week, my wife and I celebrate our 61st wedding anniversary. As we look back to that…

Some years ago, I was transporting an elderly Christian to a hospital appointment some miles away. As we approached a busy roundabout, he said, “And what new experience have you had of our Lord, David?”  I quickly responded, “Sorry, but I am concentrating on my driving at the moment”.  I knew that was an excuse,…

I don’t know if readers have ever experienced putting something in a saucepan to cook, and then forgetting about it. We were recently watching a TV programme when we became aware of an unfamiliar smell, and it was a little while before we realised that some beetroot was cooking. Not only had the heat been…
