My mouth will speak in praise of the Lord.Let every creature praise his holy name for ever and ever.Psalm 145:21One of the ongoing reminders of the Psalms is that creation isn’t just about humans. In some sense, all creation praises the name of God. No, not necessarily with their mouths. Maybe you were imagining a Kangaroo bursting into “Praise the Lord”. That would be fun.But take for instance Ps...  Read More

The Lord watches over all who love him, but all the wicked he will destroy.Psalm 145:20How does God relate to His people? What about those who aren’t (His people)?

The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love.Psalm 145:8If you had to summarise your Christmas experience in one or two words, what would it be? ‘Joyful celebration’, ‘good food’, ‘family fun’ or something like that? For me, it might be (if I was to be very truthful), ‘short fuse’ or ‘abounding in frustration’. After a long year, watching family come together only to figh...  Read More
