MON MARCH 01
SHUT UP – TO WRITE
COLOSSIANS 1:1
‘Paul an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God… ‘(v. 1)

This is Paul’s letter to the Colossians. This was probably written by him during his imprisonment in Rome in AD 62 or 63. Paul begins by outlining his credentials: ‘an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God’.Our first reaction might be to think it was that an apostle should be shut in prison rather than winning new territories for Christ. But although circumstances prevented him from travelling, his spirit was free to reach out through his pen. Had he not been imprisoned we would not have had the captivity letters – Colossians, Ephesians, Philippians and Philemon. From prison his influence extended to the ends of the earth and throughout the ages. He was shut up – to write.
Prayer
O Father, physical restrictions may hinder me bodily but my spirit is always free to soar, Circumstances do not have the last word in my life – You do. Amen.
Have a blessed new month.

SAT FEBRUARY 27
‘ LET ME COMMEND MY SAVIOUR’
MALACHI 3:1-18
‘Then those who feared the Lord talked with each other… ‘(v. 16)

Experience and expression are the alternate beats of the Christian heart. If these two essentials are not in operation, the Christian heart ceases to beat. Then what happens? We settle down to dead forms, dead attitudes and dead prayers. This matter of sharing must not be limited only to evangelism – it applies also to sharing with other Christians the things that God has shared with us. Nothing is fully ours until we share it – the expression will deepen the impression. So in seeking to stay spiritually fresh, discipline yourself to share appropriate issues with your Christian and non – Christian friends. Someone has defined a Christian as one who says by word or deed, ‘Let me commend my Saviour to you’.
Prayer
Father, may I reach up to You with one hand and reach out to those in need with the other. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Have a great and blessed weekend.

GROWING BY GAZING
PSALM 99:1-9
‘Exalt the Lord our God and worship at his footstool; he is holy. ‘(v. 5)

In the soul of every Christian there is something that responds to what is holy. Experience has shown me that the best way to understand holiness is to gaze steadily at Jesus Christ and consult one’s heart and mind at the reaction one feels. Never did a human form hold One so pure, so adorable, so holy. This adoring contemplation of the Saviour has been called ‘the secret of the saints’.Their biographies show them to be people who did not just devote themselves to constant probing or asking endless questions of the Bible. Instead they looked in love and longing at Jesus. And their holiness was a by – product of this contemplation. They grew in holiness as they in the steadiness and fixity of their gazing.
Prayer
Father,may I receive a vision of the moral majesty and purity of the One who is divine.Deepen my understanding of all this.Amen.
Have a blessed Friday.
