Thought for the Day by Matt Jones
​(Associate Minister for Music)

​In you, Lord my God,  I put my trust.
Psalm 25v1
 

Sometimes a verse stands out at you when you read it. In the case of Psalm 25 v1, I believe it was the simplicity of the phrase. My trust, I put in my God. It is stating the obvious, but it’s a simple truth that we often forget.
 
Our wayward nature often causes us to stray from this truth. So readily we will find something or someone else to put our trust in. We trust other things to keep us safe, to fulfil us, to provide for us. We trust people around us, in what they do and what they say.
But ask yourself, where does your ultimate trust really lie? If all those other things you trust in were to become unreliable, or fade away, or die, would you be able to say verse 1 of chapter 25 still confidently? That is a challenge to me indeed!
 
I would suggest this would be a good verse for the Christian to memorise and say daily, reorienting ourselves to put our trust in the one whom is completely trustworthy. 
Matt

Hardship Fund

We have for a while now had a BH Hardship Fund which we have from time to time used to help out some BH members who have been having a difficult time financially. It's been greatly appreciated. But now the tank is running dry, and it may be that some would like to contribute something to enable us to continue to help those facing hard times. If you'd like to, do please send your donation to the office (electronically, direct to our bank account 40.52.40 Account no. 00092749, or by cheque or cash).
Many thanks
Phil
