We continue to remember Mark Buff in our
prayers even though he has asked for his
name to be taken off the ‘prayer list’. He says‘I wondered if you would now like to take out
the prayer request for me? I feel so very much
better now and although I’m not quite 100%
yet, I think it would be better for people to pray
for others who are in much more need. I am
so grateful for the prayer that has gone up for
me and am thrilled that our Father has
wonderfully answered and continues to help
me, daily. With our thanks and love in Jesus’.

A ‘Prayer request’ box can be found in the
foyer at RML. This has been provided by
the Ladies Prayer Group.
All requests will be treated in confidence.

Jonathan’s Jottings
Jesus in the Everyday
In Luke 5:1-11 we read of how Jesus came to
teach beside the shores of the Sea of Galilee.
Whilst there he climbed aboard Simon Peter’s
boat in order to gain a vantage point for
continuing to deliver His message to the masses
now assembled. Having concluded His message,
Jesus turned to a weary Simon and instructed
him to once more launch his nets into the deep
waters. Simon chose to trust Jesus over his
feelings of tiredness and his experience as a
fisherman that said, ‘this isn’t going to work.’
The result: Jesus performs an incredible miracle
as a haul of fish is caught that requires the
second boat to come to their aid.
This moment has so many wonderful teaching
points that for several days of reading in
preparation for preaching, I had overlooked the
importance of the location. The shores of the
Sea of Galilee seem like an exotic location, the
perfect setting for this to play out. However, we
must see this from Simon Peter’s perspective.
This was his place of work; this was the
ordinary, the everyday, the mundane… just
another day, same as any other. Here in the
ordinary and the familiar Jesus entered and
performed incredible things through His power
and to the amazement of the people.
In our own lives we can wait for the incredible
time and place. We envisage the scene where we
would experience Jesus moving in our lives. Yet
to do so is to lose sight of our Saviour who is
with you now, today, as you sit in your chair
reading the paper, as you make preparations for
the day at work, as you meet with a friend or
relative. Jesus meets us in our ‘everyday’, our
run-of-the-mill and the supposedly ordinary
events of our life. When we are prepared to
trust in Him and acknowledge His daily
presence and relevance, God will reveal Himself
and work through us and for us wherever we
find ourselves.
Please continue to remember in prayer:
