We have entered the Hebrew year 5786, aligning with 2026. The number six is represented by the Hebrew letter vav—visually represented as a hook, peg, or connector. It is also the connecting word “and,” a joining point between what was and what is coming. But not every connection is meant to continue. Six is the number of man (Genesis 1:26–31), signalling a year where God works through people, partnerships, and alignment. This will be a year of divine connections—but also divi

Stop looking backwards, start looking forward. Recently, I have spent a lot of time looking back in time. I am a historian, so that is where my natural gaze goes. There is value in looking back, remembering what God has done, and celebrating his goodness. We share our testimonies of God’s actions in our lives to encourage each other to do it again in his power and favour. We also look back in order to examine ourselves. We look to see whether we have anyone to forgive, or t

I want you to imagine that you are locked in a room. It’s pretty dark, But you can see, even in the darkness, that the room is empty. Your hands are bound, but you can walk around. The door is barred. There are no windows. You don’t know how long you’ve been there, but you are ready to get out. You try to push the door, but it doesn’t budge. You sit defeated, thinking you will be forever bound to this dark, dismal room. There is no way of escape. After what seems like months,

Grief doesn't stay in one place Sorrow is experienced worldwide No matter the time or place Wherever we go, it is always there We all handle death differently Our location on Earth isn't key No matter the level of sympathy Grief is a real personal journey Grief takes on board our own tears Keeps our memories - always reminds No one knows what tomorrow brings But every day it always follows us Grief always travels with care Travels with compassion and love There is no ticket f

There is a stirring in the heart of my people who want more of me that is manifesting as frustration, frustration in the lack of expression of who I AM is in the world, says the Lord. You read in my Word and see what is possible, but you can be frustrated by what you lack in your experience and observation. It is easy to see what the enemy is doing in the world, but it takes discernment to see what I AM doing. This desire for more of me can be expressed as frustration and, at

All living creatures of the sea, let them swim, set them free. All mammals on the earth, let the live, free to roam. All living things on earth, let them breathe, let them be. All the birds in the sky, let them sing and soar on high. All trees, flora and fauna, Let us nurture with care. All of the tiny to the mighty, Let us care for their welfare. All on land, air and sea God created them all to be. ©Sarah Joy Holden

Dear Child Keep wearing my armour. The helmet of salvation protects your thought life. Fix your thoughts on me. Keep lasooing those wandering thoughts that are not from me and think of me. The breastplate of righteousness protects your heart. It keeps you on the right path. The shield of faith protects you from the arrows of doubt. Keep trusting as you lift that shield. The sword of the Spirit. My word is powerful; keep speaking it out. The belt of truth keeps all the armour

The hardest thing today When I had to walk away I simply could not stay Walking away is necessary I reached out day after day For us every day, I would pray I gave us every opportunity Walking away is necessary So, walk away, walk away We've nothing more to say There's no more aces to play Walking away is healthy Daily asking the question why But getting not one reply For us, my heart does cry Walking away is necessary So, walk away, walk away We've nothing more to say There'

Dear child Every person that you come across is my sheep. They have not yet encountered their good Shepherd. Each person you struggle to love, the ones that get under your skin. The outspoken ones, the angry ones, the unkind ones , even the ones that say they hate me. They are all my sheep. They need a Shepherd. Most are unaware of their need for me. You’re my sheep and you recognise my voice. You walk close to me. Keep close, and as you keep responding to my whisper, others
