If you were Satan, where would you attack you? It’s a good question to ask, because it helps you to pray for the Lord’s protection in that area and to watch and pray so that you don’t fall. In Numbers 22-25, Satan tries 2 different ways to destroy God’s people. First of all He tries…

Congratulations if you have reached the book of Numbers in the Bible reading plan! Well what about Numbers? Let’s be honest, unless you’re into maths, it’s not the most exciting title! And as we begin to read about now many from each tribe, we might be forgiven for wondering what relevance those has to us…

What is at the centre of the book of Psalms? There are 5 books in the book of Psalms, so the middle book is book 3, and the middle of book 3 is Psalm 81 and the middle of Psalm 81 is verse 8: “Hear, O my people, while I admonish you! O Israel, if…
