He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Psalm 23:3 It seems strange, at first, to think that the Christian who is under the care and protection of Almighty God would ever need restoration after salvation. We know, of course, that life is not simple and circumstances can… Continue reading Choose to be led

I am a writer of Bible devotions, a writer of songs and occasionally a writer of poems. I am also a Christian, so I suppose you could call me a Christian writer. My first book - aptly named 'The Narrow Path' will be published in September 2024. I live in Northern Ireland and when I get the opportunity, I love to travel.
Rested and Refreshed
He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. Psalm 23:2 The wonder of this verse is in the first five words, for the truth is, no-one can make a sheep lie down. Fear, tension, irritation and hunger will all keep a sheep standing. The only time these creatures will… Continue reading Rested and Refreshed
The Playground
Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 1 John 2:15 Does the world entice you? Are there elements of the world that bring you pleasure? When you read the words ‘the world’, what image do you see… Continue reading The Playground
Soul Protection
Thorns and snares are in the way of the crooked; whoever guards his soul will keep far from them. Proverbs 22:5 There is truth in the saying that life is not always a bed of roses, or more correctly, rose petals. All of us will know this to be true, for we all have scars… Continue reading Soul Protection
Clean, Holy, Righteous
But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. 1 Corinthians 6:11 At the beginning of the book of Acts, when Peter preached the gospel, he instructed all those who accepted the word to ‘repent and be baptised’ (2:17).… Continue reading Clean, Holy, Righteous
Inward Reflection
By this we may know that we are in him: whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked. 1 John 2:5,6 At various times throughout the gospels we hear the Lord Jesus saying, “By this all people will know that you are my disciples.” He was… Continue reading Inward Reflection
United in Word
Now the whole earth had one language and the same words. Genesis 11:1 Genesis 11 brings us into the generation of Noah’s great-grandchildren. As the families grew, the people migrated out, and finding a good plain of land in Shinar, they decided to settle. The people were intelligent and industrious, and they said to one… Continue reading United in Word
Seemingly Justified
Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the heart. Proverbs 21:2 As a Christian, I don’t think that any of us want to do wrong, go the wrong way, or make a wrong decision. Sometimes, however, we react negatively to a situation but feel that we had… Continue reading Seemingly Justified
The Rainbow
I have set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. Genesis 9:13 A rainbow is the most beautiful visual promise of God that we have the pleasure of seeing with our own eyes. The earth was birthed from the waters at the command… Continue reading The Rainbow
Choose Prayer
Let your ear be attentive and your eyes open, to hear the prayer of your servant that I now pray before you day and night for the people of Israel your servants, confessing the sins of the people of Israel, which we have sinned against you. Nehemiah 1:6 Nehemiah had been separated from his family… Continue reading Choose Prayer
