I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Sunday morning, the 12th of October, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

We start in the Book of Isaiah 55:11:

”So shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth; It shall not return to me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.”

Then we go to the Gospel of Matthew 5:9:

”Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called the sons of God.”

Now I want to tell you a little story and I want you to hear my heart here. I’m not talking about myself or our team, I’m talking about the word of God. This little “Thought for Today”, which has been going for almost six years, is played every morning in police stations, in front of all the constables when they are standing at ease, oh, yes, I’ve seen the videos, they’ve sent them to me. At school assemblies, before work starts, at Bible colleges, which is a great honour for me, every morning. In hospitals, in wards, and we give all the glory to Jesus Christ. The word of God never returns void. It always accomplishes that which it is sent for, and of course, the peace makers. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God. 

The other night, a beautiful family came and stayed with us - three young boys, their mom, and their dad. We were having supper together, and the mother said, ”I just want to tell you that I play the 'Thought for Today' every morning when I take the children to school. She said, ”They always used to fight. You know how they fight, “I want to sit at the door. It’s my turn now.” Yes, we know. I had five of my own. She said now that she puts on the “Thought for Today” every morning, there is absolute quietness in the motorcar. That means more to me than anything. 

So we want to give Jesus Christ all the praise, honour and glory because His Word brings peace wherever it is spoken.

Jesus bless you, have a lovely day and send that little message out as far and as wide as you can. 
Goodbye.
