The beauty of creation constantly reminds us of the greatness of its Creator. As Billy Graham once said: “Just as the stars shine brightest in the darkest night, God’s creation reminds us of His glory even in a troubled world.”

This week, please pray for a peaceful resolution of the current crisis in the Middle East.

If you are feeling a little down this week, then be inspired by this reminder from Billy Graham:

“God never takes away something from your life without replacing it with something better.”

Never forget – the best is yet to come!

Here is a great verse to make you smile when you are faced with your least favourite household chore: “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving (Colossians 3:23).

Or as D L Moody reminds us: “Serve God by doing common actions in a heavenly spirit.” D L Moody

As we reflect on Jesus as Lord of the Sabbath, we are reminded that life is not measured by how busy we are, but by what truly endures. C. T. Studd captures that eternal perspective in these well-known words:

“Only one life, ’twill soon be past; only what’s done for Christ will last.”

We all have bad days, weeks or even months but when life feels broken, plans unravel, or mistakes leave us wondering what comes next, we’re reminded that God is still at work — even in the mess.

“Circumstances may appear to wreck our lives and God’s plans, but God is not helpless among the ruins.”
— Eric Liddell
