A huge thank you for your support, dear friends! I hope that this week's devotions have blessed you - helping you to move from Peter in the Gospels to Peter in Acts, from ordinary to extraordinary you might say.

I want to take us to Peter's first letter to the church today. Listen to these words: "Since you call on a Father who judges each person's work impartially, live out your time as foreigners here in reverent fear." (1 Peter 1:17)‍ ‍

Remember when Peter tried walking on the water, and he became afraid and began to sink? Now see how things have changed for him later in life. It's not fear of failure, or fear of pain, that dominates his life. read or listen to this full devotion on my Patreon page here – for a monthly amount of your choice.‍ ‍

Thank you for your support my friends! In your extra devotion today, we look at Peter's words about a deep, reverent fear of the Lord which shows what Spirit-filled maturity truly looks like. Consider whether your life is marked by the holy, reverent fear of God that honours Him in all you do.

Jesus stands on trial today just as He did 2000 years ago - and each of us must reach a verdict on His claims. Consider today: how will you judge Him?

Sin brings locust-like destruction to our lives, but Jesus came as the Bread of Life to restore what was taken away and remove our shame. Praise God that for those in Christ, redemption and spiritual richness have been restored.

Don’t Ignore the Warning
Daily Devotions, Springboks Migrations

The springbok migrations of the 1800s teach us about heeding spiritual warnings, particularly the urgent call to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. Don't ignore God's warnings about eternal separation from Him while you still have time.

Jesus has some difficult words to say to those who are unfaithful to Him. We can refuse to believe them, as some do, or we can take them as the loving warning they are.

Toplady ends his great hymn by reflecting on his fleeting breath, and the fact that he would face God in judgement one day. But thank God - a story from Peter Marshall reminds us of the great work of Jesus which will protect His children on judgement day.
