Recovery Meditations

Within the safety and the comfort of God’s favour and unfailing love for us, we were meant to have the strength and care that would enable us to develop sound and trusting relationships in our family circle and with friends.

“Comfort, oh comfort my people,” says your God.

At this time of year, as we prepare our hearts for the celebration of Christ’s birth, many may have regrets about some Christmases in their past.

Troubles come, sometimes one on top of another. Pressure builds.

Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, “I am the light of the world.

Today we read a promise God gave to His people hundreds of years in advance of the birth of Jesus.

One day while the prophet Isaiah was praying, he saw a vision of God sitting on his throne in heaven.

What sorrow for those who drag their sins behind them with ropes made of lies, who drag wickedness behind them like a cart!

What sorrow for those who get up early in the morning looking for a drink of alcohol and spend long evenings drinking wine to make themselves flaming drunk.

For Jerusalem will stumble, and Judah will fall, because they speak out against the Lord and refuse to obey him.

For the Lord of Heaven’s Armies has a day of reckoning.
