We live in what has been called a post-truth age. Where is truth?Who can we trust? God's word is flawless - Jesus is Mr Truth. We can trust him. Let's be people of the truth.

Keep going serving the King even if it seems like the foundations of everything are being destroyed. That's what it seemed like to Jesus, but he kept going and finished the work he had to do, rising from the dead.

Paul tells us in Galatians 4 what Moses wanted us to understand about Hagar and Sarah. Hagar stands for trying to save yourself. One had faith in Jesus and was saved.

God is faithful even when we are faithless - he cannot deny himself. Abraham has very little, but powerful people realise God is with him. Abraham looked forward in faith to a lasting city, the new heavens and earth, whose builder and architect is God.

Sadly not everyone wants Jesus - Ishmael didn't. But even then the LORD is kind and wants Ishmael to see and believe. Will we see and believe in this kind God who rescues and saves?

Jesus brings joy. He shows us that God keeps his promises. He is the answer to every promise. May he help us to be joyful even in tough times.

The patience of the LORD with us even when we repeat the same failings. Jesus prays for us, knowing what it is like to be tempted, yet he never once sinned!

We can blot out the sun by holding a 5p in front of our eye. We do that with God when people and problems can seem like giants and we doubt and do the wrong thing. May he help us to remember and do the right thing, trusting in Jesus.

The Bible certainly isn't a boring book. God's friend Abraham had prayed for Lot to be rescued. Lot was rescued and then this happens! Yet, even in this God is working out his plan to save the world through Jesus!

The LORD is so kind in rescuing us - it's all his doing! May we love Jesus more than we love anything else and keep trusting him.
