This week’s portion, Ki Tavo, invites us to reflect on what it means to “enter in.” For Israel, it was about stepping into the Promised Land, but for us it also speaks to entering into God’s presence, His promises, and His calling in our lives.

This portion journeys us through remembering, honoring God with our firstfruits, rehearsing the story of deliverance, and acknowledging that every good thing comes from Him. It paints a picture of ones that fix their mind and attention on Who God is and what He’s done. There is an aroma of gratitude and humility upon those who “enter in.”

Isaiah 60 lifts this even higher with its
prophetic declaration “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.”
Marking the end of a season and the beginning of a new day.
These words remind us that no matter how dark the world around us feels, God’s light always breaks through, bringing us into the full ras of His promise in our lives.

His glory doesn’t just rest on us, it transforms us, calling us to radiate hope, peace, and love in a way that draws others to Him.

The New Testament readings echo the promise of restoration and belonging, reminding us that in Christ we are brought near, adopted, and chosen.

To “enter in” is to walk not only in blessing but in the new way He has laid before us. To forget the former ways and to live as people of light, reflecting God’s kingdom wherever we go.

Is there something from your old season trying to come with you into your promised land? This week, take a moment to ask Him, and step forward in faith into the new He has prepared for you.

The portion of Ki Tetse brings us into the heart of God’s concern for how His people live, not just in their worship, but in their everyday choices, relationships, and integrity. These chapters in Deuteronomy hold many detailed laws, but together they remind us that holiness is not separate from daily life, it’s woven into how we treat others, pursue justice, and guard our hearts. It is about carrying God’s character with us “when we go out,” letting our faith shape the most ordinary and practical parts of life.

The reading from Isaiah 54 is especially powerful here. After laying down instructions and boundaries for holy living, God reassures His people of His steadfast love: though mountains may be shaken, His covenant of peace will never be removed. In a portion filled with commands that call us to order and discipline, Isaiah reminds us that it is God’s mercy and compassion that anchor it all. Even when we stumble or feel burdened, He calls us His beloved, restored and covered by grace.

Jesus, in the Gospel passage, intensifies this by reminding us that holiness begins in the heart, what we allow our eyes, thoughts, and desires to dwell upon matters deeply. And Paul, in 1 Corinthians, points to the responsibility of community: to walk in truth, discipline, and love, holding each other accountable so that Christ’s body is strengthened.

This week, let’s choose to carry God’s love into the ordinary moments, living with truth, compassion, and faith wherever we go.

Shoftim (Judges) calls us to walk in truth, justice, and integrity. God’s heart is for His people to lead and live without favoritism or corruption, but with righteousness and mercy. Yeshua reminds us that justice is not about retaliation but about reconciliation and grace, while the apostles warn us of the danger of hard hearts that resist God’s truth, urging us instead to walk in repentance and faith.

At the heart, these readings together reveal that God’s justice is not cold law but holy love. It is both mercy and accountability, comfort and correction. We are called to live as people of integrity, judging fairly, reconciling quickly, and pointing others to the true Judge, Messiah, who embodies justice perfectly.

This week, may we lean into God’s holy love, choosing mercy over pride, reconciliation over division, and integrity over compromise. May our words and actions reflect the justice of the Messiah, drawing others to the hope and truth found only in Him.

23/08/2025

Re’eh (See!) reminds us that God continually sets before us a choice: to believe His word, to align our hearts with His truth, and to let that shape lives marked by love and integrity. Faith is not just inward—it’s the overflow of our hearts into how we worship, how we treat others, and how we live in community.

I am excited and stirred by the prophetic words in Isaiah 55:5 (CJB): “You will summon a nation you do not know, and a nation that does not know you will run to you, for the sake of Adonai your God, the Holy One of Israel, who will glorify you.” I believe this is a prophetic declaration for the time and season we are entering, nations being drawn to God because of His glory upon His people.

Remember, God doesn’t ask us to see with natural eyes. As Paul reminds us: “We fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal” (2 Cor. 4:18).

This week, may we see with fresh eyes the ways God is inviting us into blessing. Let us choose His ways with courage, trust His promises with hope, and walk in love with those around us.

Blessings friends 💛

This week’s portion, Ekev (“On the Heel Of”), is an invitation to consider the quiet, often unnoticed moments of obedience, the everyday faithfulness that seems small but leaves a lasting imprint. It reminds us that blessings often follow “on the heel of” listening hearts and humble steps. We’re called to remember God’s faithfulness in the wilderness, not just through miracles, but through His steady provision and loving discipline. In a world that celebrates the spectacular, Ekev honours the slow, faithful walk of trust.

These readings reflect God who remembers us even when we forget Him, who comforts His people in Isaiah and assures us through Paul’s words in Romans that nothing can separate us from His love.

They echo with a deep assurance: that God’s presence is not contingent on our perfection, but on His covenant. Our part is to walk closely, to heed His voice, and to let gratitude shape our lives in response to His care.

This week, trust that God sees your quiet obedience, and that His love is never out of reach, even when the path feels long or hidden.

08/08/2025

There’s something tender and deeply human about this week’s portion, Va’etchanan. We meet Moses in a moment of raw vulnerability, as he pleads with God for something he has longed for but yet won’t receive. Despite this, his posture remains faithful.

It’s a quiet invitation for us to reflect on how we respond when God’s answers don’t match our desires.

Can we trust His goodness even when the outcome hurts?

Can we hold space for both longing and obedience?

Moses does, and instead of turning inward, he turns toward his people, choosing to bless, instruct, and prepare them for what he will not get to experience himself.

Woven through these readings is the deep compassion of God, seen in Isaiah’s words of comfort, in Jesus’ call for genuine love over empty religion, and in the reminder that the greatest commandment is to love God and love others.

Together, these passages invite us to reflect on what it means to truly follow, not just in word but in posture of heart.

They ask us to remember where we’ve come from, to honour God’s voice, and to lead others with humility and truth.

💛 This week, slow down and listen, tune in to what He’s saying, let your love for God guide your actions, your words, and the way you carry the responsibilities He’s placed in your hands.

He sees your heart, and He’s still leading you forward.

In this weeks portion, Devarim, Moses stands as a leader who uses his final words not for glory, but for guidance. He doesn’t shy away from the truth of Israel’s failings, yet he speaks with tenderness, recalling the past not to shame, but to prepare their hearts for what’s ahead. His words are weighty because they are honest, and they come from a place of love and responsibility.

Isaiah echoes this call, but in sharper tones. Where Moses gently reminds, Isaiah cries out: “Your rituals mean nothing without righteousness.” It’s a prophetic warning about empty religion, words without justice, worship without love. Isaiah calls the people back to real repentance, to cleanse their hearts and return to God not just in words, but in action.

Then we meet Saul in Acts, someone who had all the right words, the right zeal, and yet was blind to the truth. His transformation is radical. His encounter with Jesus humbles him, strips him of everything, and gives him new words, words of grace, mission, and mercy. In 1 Timothy, Paul (formerly Saul) then passes on the wisdom he’s gained: leaders must be people of integrity, not just in speech, but in character.

Reflecting on the Common Threads
Words matter—they can build or destroy, lead or mislead.
Leadership is sacred—whether guiding a nation, a church, or your own household, integrity is non-negotiable.
Transformation is possible—past failure doesn’t disqualify; it refines us for greater purpose.
God is always calling us back—to remember who we are, to return to what is true, and to walk forward in grace.

May this weeks portion inspire you to speak truth with humility, lead with compassion, and open your heart to the transforming power of grace. Let your words and your life be a reflection of the One who is always leading you home 💛

25/07/2025

This week’s Torah portions, Mattot (“Tribes”) and Massei (“Stages”), invite us into a tender reflection on the importance of our words and the journey of our lives. We’re reminded that vows matter, not just the ones we speak out loud, but also the silent promises we make to ourselves, to others, and to God.

These readings ask us to pause and examine the weight of our commitments and the sacredness of follow-through. At the same time, we’re guided through the Israelites’ wilderness journey, a map of their wanderings that mirrors our own seasons of movement, struggle, and growth.

Together, these portions speak of accountability and grace, discipline and direction. They nudge us to consider where we’ve made vows that need honoring or releasing, and to look back at the stages of our lives not with regret, but with awe at how God has carried us through.

As we reflect on the past and prepare for what’s next, may we walk with softened hearts, clear intentions, and a trust that God is guiding each step.

May this week be a time to gently reflect…on the words you’ve spoken, the path you’ve walked, and the God who has never left your side. Let His faithfulness stir in you a renewed trust for the next stage of your journey.

18/07/2025

This week’s portion, Pinchas (Phinehas), calls us to reflect deeply on passion, justice, and the heart of worship. It’s a stirring reminder that when we stand boldly for what is right, even in difficult or uncomfortable moments, it catches the heart of God. Phinehas’ zeal wasn’t about violence, it was about purity, devotion, and protecting what was sacred.

These readings speak to the cost of compromise and the beauty of restoration. We see a call to integrity, wholeheartedness, and a life set apart, not in rigid religiosity, but in deep, genuine devotion. There is also a tender reminder that God sees our faithfulness and records it, not just for a moment, but for generations.

The accompanying passages show us weary prophets, inner cleansing, and the God who knows what’s in a person’s heart. We are not called to strive but to offer our lives honestly, letting God shape us from the inside out.

This week, examine what you’re zealous for. Where is your passion pointing? Let your actions be shaped by love, justice, and a desire to honour God in both the quiet and public moments. May your life speak of a devotion that brings peace, hope, and healing to a hurting world.

11/07/2025

This week’s portion, Balak, reminds us that even when others plot against us or speak words meant to harm, God’s hand remains over His people. In this story, we’re gently shown how God’s will prevails, even using unlikely people and unexpected means to bless instead of curse. It’s a powerful picture of divine protection, and the mysterious, beautiful way God works all things for good, often behind the scenes.

The readings also echo the truth that God’s wisdom isn’t like the world’s wisdom, His ways are higher, and His love is unshakable. At times when we feel misunderstood, judged, or even opposed, this week’s portion invites us to rest in the truth that God’s voice is louder than any other. He sees the full picture and continues to call His people to humility, justice, and walking closely with Him.

Let this be the week you release the fear of what others may say or do and trust in the God who defends, guides, and blesses. Stay grounded in Him, walk humbly, and let His wisdom and love lead the way.
