Tree on the Bruaich, Kilmartin

I was in prayer a few days ago and waiting on The Lord, when I heard His response, “Look to the burning bush.” Now this was possibly the first Bible story that I — and many of us — had heard, and God’s message to Moses from the midst of the Holy Fire was “Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground."

Isle of Jura from Keills

We call on the name of The Lord — more often than not — when we need Him to fix something; get us out of a troubling situation or a difficult relationship, and surely He leaps into action and in an instant everything is peachy once again. Fortunately for us it doesn’t work like that. Our God knows us too well and operates on a far more creative level than we can ever know.

Bothwell Castle, Lanarkshire

Today’s meditation is from David Wilkerson’s devotional book ‘God Is Faithful’, and we present this to you as it seems to hit exactly the place where many of us are being challenged in these days. It is a timely reminder about bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.

Across the Add estuary to Kilmartin Glen in the quiet of the evening.

Apocalyptic writing is a method of presenting ideas in a surreal — or better — a supernatural way, used here to express scriptural wisdom and spiritual truth. In essence it is a literary device, and one which powerfully describes the awe-inspiring nature of the Plan of God.

The Smoke Of The Land, Kilmartin Glen

I began considering what it is that sets so many in this present age to turn away from God and look to old pre-Christian beliefs. I have heard some say that they don’t like religion, seemingly equating these old ideas — or what is now called ‘humanism’ — as not religious.

As a child I remember reading the classic story ‘Swiss Family Robinson’, which in the translation I knew — it was written by German-Swiss author Johann David Wyss — began with the words “For six days we were tempest-tossed.”

Before I became a Christian, I used to muddle along quite well. Folk generally seemed to think that I was a fairly gentle soul — a little diffident perhaps — but someone who kept himself to himself. Even the words I use to describe myself are equivocal.

As has been mentioned before in these pages, our village of Kilmartin (the name means ‘Martainn’s cell, or church’) is at the heart of an area with more pre-Christian rock carvings, burial cists, standing stones and cup and ring markings than anywhere else in the Scotland.

[Proverbs 25:2] It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter. God is concealing His handiwork because it is an internal work, and it is the glory of us as kings to search out what He is doing – to get understanding of His ways – so that we can walk in them and allow Him, in turn, to foster and grow His seed in us.

1 CORINTHIANS 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
We talk blithely about the Holy Ghost in power, about His mighty power, God is my strength and power, mighty men of power.

At the beginning of Isaiah Chapter 51, the prophet calls three times Hearken to me. The threefold repetition reveals that he brings a word from on high. These are not my thoughts, my instructions, but those of Almighty God, he is saying...
