“The mountains melt like wax at the Presence of the Lord, before the LORD of all the earth” (Psalm 97:5) Welcome back dear student, problems and busyness can easily pile up into mountains. When Life Becomes Overwhelming Time goes by very quickly when demands are high. Some work better with deadlines; others carefully plan and prepare well in advance. ‘Pressure is for tyres’ they say, but it’s easy to get stressed.

God speaks to all of us – in our hearts by an unction of His Spirit; through the Scriptures; perhaps by a dream or a s

“Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb” (Revelation 22:1). Welcome back dear student, this hot weather makes one long for cool waters that refresh. But a quick dip brings only temporal relief. The Scripture above reflects a vision that the prophet Ezekiel had (Ezekiel 47:1-12). In the prophecy he saw a river of living water, representing God’s Presence. God challenged him to become completely
