Oh for the day foreseen by Isaiah when 'the word of the Lord will go forth from Jerusalem, and the LORD will judge (mediate) between nations and settle international disputes. When nation will no longer fight against nation, nor train for war anymore and swords will...
Come Down O Love Divine
This is such an amazing offering! Hymnary.org tells us that the inspiring words of this, one of my all-time favourite hymns, were written by Bianco da Siena, a 14th century Italian poet and wool worker from an Italian city I love dearly, and where I have met the Lord...
Praying for our Leaders
The night is nearly over; the day is almost here, so let us cast off the deeds of darkness and put on the full armour of light. (Rom. 13:12) We know that what Paul wrote in connection with church circles: Here is a trustworthy saying: whoever aspires to be an overseer...
We will gradually be adding many longer books and articles onto this website, as we transfer them from our existing site. We would love to encourage you to try searching for any theme, topic or nation you are interested in and see what you can find.
But the Lord is often very concise, and we are offering some shorter thoughts to ponder here.
May these short reflections bring you blessings as you too spend time in Thoughtful Places with the Lord.
short thoughts
“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.”
Colossians 3:16
For thousands of years, God’s people have been weaving music, meditation and prayer together in a fragrant offering to Him. We have had the privilege of working with some remarkable song writers, composers and minstrels who have played beautifully rich music and anointed worship, that inspires faith, aids the release of healing and powerfully undergirds intercession. May you receive a deep touch from the Lord as you enter in to these extensive libraries and collections.
On the right you will find links to Sound Cloud tracks, and below a number of Playlists that feature themes, songs and items by individual composers.
Jesus, let Your presence draw near as we listen!

ABOUT
We will be adding many things to this website as it develops and these drop-down boxes will provide easy navigation to access them. We are at the very beginning of this process but are excited as to what we will be going to share with you.
ARTICLES TO READ
The Hebrew word ‘mashal’ means ‘to speak’, as in a short prophetic utterance. It is used of parables and teachings that focus on particular issues and that impart specific truths. It seemed a good word to run with – especially because I was looking for something beginning with M to go with the town we live in: Malvern!
We send out regular ezines that combine devotional meditations, teaching articles and intercessory prayer themes and insights with powerful music that we have recorded with outstanding musician friends.
We will soon be adding many more articles and links to the website – watch this space!
LISTEN
Listen to beautiful music – sometimes set to thoughtful prayers and meditations – that will inspire prayer and draw you into the presence of God.
WATCH
Open our eyes, Lord, we want to see
(Matt. 20:33)
PRAY
I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my understanding; I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my understanding. (1 Cor. 14:15)
