    Prayer Wednesday

    The heavens declare the glory of God;
    The skies proclaim the work of his hands.
    Day after day they pour forth speech;
    Night after night they display knowledge.
    There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard.
    Their voice goes out into all the earth,
    Their words to the end of the world.

    Here are two messages that the stars are saying to the people of planet earth:

    1. The Living God is bigger than you think! The next nearest star is 4.3 light-years away ( a mere 40 trillion km away). The farthest star ever viewed (thank you Hubble Telescope!) is 5 billion light-years away. Stars have been around for so long! The distances and timelines are mind-blowing for us and point to One whose mind is not boggled or overwhelmed.
    2. The Living God loves you more than you know! The writer of Psalm 19 compares the stars in the Universe to the Word of God which “ revives the soul, makes wise the simple and gives joy to the heart ”. The truths He speaks to us are as old as the stars and yet as fresh and life-giving as ‘honey from the comb’!

    This day as we pray, listen to the stars! Pour forth your own praise to the One who made us, loves us, and one day will make new heavens and new earth for the praise of His name. Maybe you’ll even step outside your home this night and listen to the stars and take a few frozen moments to express your praise.

    Praying and star-gazing with you this day.

    Andrew

    The Story | Could God Still Love Me? | Chapter 19

    February 9, 2025
    Ezra 3:10-13 - The book of Ezra tells the story of the return of God’s people from exile. The account details the extra care that was taken by the returnees in doing their best to reproduce what they once had. Very quickly, they got the old altar operational and began to rebuild the temple. Our story is about what they chose to do on the day the foundation of the new temple was in place. There was a party that didn’t feel like a party for everyone, and that’s just honest!

    The Story | Can Your God Rescue You? | Chapter 18

    Daniel 6:1-24-The book of Daniel is all about the Sovereignty of God. The God of Israel proves himself sovereign even in faraway Babylon: boys receive foreign favour and are released from having to eat rich and potentially unkosher food. Young men are saved from a fiery furnace, and old man Daniel doesn’t get eaten by a den of hungry lions. God proves he’s not limited by international borders, arrogant kings or wild beasts. All of this points forward to Jesus, who demonstrated his sovereignty (he is God, after all!) in different ways.

    The Story | Does God Ever Give Up On Us? Chapter 17

    January 27, 2025
    Ezekiel 36:22-28- The people of God deserved to be in exile in Babylon. They had betrayed their relationship with God by worshipping idols and committing horrible acts of violence. But instead of giving up on his people, God goes with them into exile. He shows up with a message of hope: he will bring them back, clean them up, and make them new. It was good news for the Israelites, and it’s good news for us today.

    The Story | What Do I Do With Sin In My Life? | Chapter 16

    January 19, 2025
    Isaiah 6:1-10 - Most of Isaiah’s writings don’t have a timestamp on them, but one event does. The day that he had his most profound encounter with God was shortly after King Uzziah died. King Uzziah would have been on the throne long before Isaiah was born and would have been the only king that Isaiah knew. That’s a big loss. Sometimes, God is able to meet us best when we’re tender from loss or grief.

    The Story | Who Are You Following? | Chapter 15

    January 12, 2025
    1 Kings 18:16-39 - Elijah lived at odds with his culture. An evil king (and queen!) wanted him dead, so he went into hiding. After 3 years, God prompted him to set up a showdown: Yahweh vs. Ba’al, good vs. evil, a battle to the death. Sadly, good’s triumph barely left a mark on the life of his country. Thankfully, there was another good vs evil showdown years later, and its impact is still being felt around the world.

    The Story | Whose Advice Should I Take? | Chapter 14

    January 5, 2025
    1 Kings 12:1-16: King Rehoboam continues the descent that has been the story of the kings since the throne was established. No one seems to be able to get it right. Leadership is tough. It requires listening to God and keen self-awareness. Rehoboam’s legacy is that he divided the people of God. May that never happen again.
