Perfect Peace Promised

Close-up of the face of a brown tabby cat sitting by a window, watching the rain outside. Above the image is a Bible verse from Isaiah 26:3: "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee."

Put away your distrust of our heavenly Father. Instead of talking of your doubts, break away from them in the strength of Jesus, and let light shine into your soul by letting your voice express confidence and trust in God. I know that the Lord is very nigh to give you victory, and I say to you, Be helped, be strengthened, be lifted out of and away from the dark dungeon of unbelief. Doubts will rush into your mind, because Satan is trying to hold you in captivity to his cruel power, but face him in the strength that Jesus is willing to give you, and conquer the inclination to express unbelief in your Saviour.

Health & Clothing

Viewed from behind: two young children sit on a beach in winter, watching the water. They wear grey winter coats with matching grey knitted hats and scarves. The older sibling has their arm around the younger one’s shoulders. Above the image is a Bible verse from 3 John 2: "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth."

Did you know..

The body can produce enough heat in just half an hour to boil water.

Each hour, the human body creates 350,000 joules of energy, which creates the same amount of energy as a 100-watt light bulb. This ends up being enough heat to boil a half gallon of water in just 30 minutes.

The body tightly regulates the body temperature through a process called thermoregulation, in which the body can maintain its temperature within certain boundaries, even when the surrounding temperature is very different.

Love God, Hate Evil

A dirt and gravel path leads into a dense forest as sunbeams shine down from the top right corner of the image. Over the scene is a Bible verse from Psalm 97:10: "Ye that love the Lord, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked."

"Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;

For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.

They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.

For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer.

And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love."

— Psalm 109:1-5

National Freedom Day

Watercolor illustration of an old, broken ball and chain lying on a beach, with the sun setting over the ocean in the background. Above the image is a Bible verse from John 8:36: "If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed." 

National Freedom Day is observed in the United States on February 1st honouring the signing by President Abraham Lincoln of a joint House and Senate resolution that was later ratified as the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. 

President Lincoln signed the Amendment abolishing slavery on February 1, 1865. The 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution freed more than 100,000 enslaved people when it was adopted on December 18, 1865. National Freedom Day was proclaimed by President Harry S. Truman almost 100 years later.
