Join Susan Downie on this Sunday, for more Sabbath rest.  Exploring the Psalms after a restful mothering Sunday in Uk.
Today Susan walks us through Psalm 101 and parts of Psalm 121. She invites us to use Psalm 101 as a framework of confession and personal and emotional inventory. To align ourselves with God and decide on our non negotiables. 
Her review of when this psalm may have been penned allows us to understand the context of Davids words. 
With personal anecdotes and her own revelation of sins that needed to be confessed, Susan brings the psalm to life for us all to enjoy.
For  additional learning and instruction Susan recommends her local Church St Pauls Salisbury Uk, where today associate pastor Matt Harrison covers Galations 5: 13-25 the Fruit of the Spirit with new insight .

Saturday Mar 14, 2026

Join Susan Downie your host as she wraps up the book of Ruth ,using notes by Toni Merida from his reflection called Ruth for You. Susan finds that genealogy and  lineage points to  future events.
She describes her disappointment with her gardening skills as the polar opposite of the promises that God gives us in the book of Ruth. 
Exploring how jews and  non jews, Murders,Adulterers, prostitutes, moabites, woman as well as men are all included in the genealogy of Jesus. Which was not the norm at the time of writing. She indicates this is proof that Jesus came to save sinners, and that meant all sinners. 
Susan uses gardening analogies and life experience to bring God's promises to life for each one of us.
She finishes with a prayer for us all and a reminder that Jesus is the Messiah the annointed one,  promised from Abraham to today to all who will believe. 
This ends the series on Ruth for You.

Join Susan Downie your host as she comes into land on the book of Ruth. Following the book Ruth For You by Toni Merida a reflective practitioner of God's Word, Susan explores topics of Redemption and God's Providential Sovereignty in the Messiah, Jesus Christ.

Q2 How have you seen God's Provision throughout the Story?
Q3 Look at women’s praise in verses 14-15 what could you praise God for in a similar way?
Susan answers these questions with personal insights and stories of God's grace in her life.

God Provides a Messiah for the World
The Messiah saves sinners
The Messiah brings peace.

Friday Mar 13, 2026

Join Susan Downie your host as she expands on Toni Meridas Book, Ruth for you looking today at four headings as follows:
1. God has not forgotten his people. 
2. God provides a Son for Boaz and Ruth.
3. God Provides a Redeemer for Naomi .
4. God provides a King for Israel.
Susan takes an honest approach  surrounding the way writers depict pregnancy and childbirth alongside personal stories and compares it to this day and age.
In addition she turns her attention to the Israel's need for a redeemer  as they were in darkness up to the end of the book of Judges. This redeemer is previewed, again using  literary poetic licence, in the mention of King David.

Join Susan Downie your host as she revisits Ruth Chapter 4 verse 11 and 12. The prayers that the witnesses prayed over Boaz. Here we see a three fold prayer which covers Ruth Boaz and their future offspring. 
In this complex love story she compares the  deception seen in Tamar versus the transparency and integrity of both Boaz and Ruth. Susan goes on to  challenge us all to live lives worthy of the one who gave it all to redeem us. Jesus who did it all because he loves us.

Join Susan Downie your host as she delves into the reasons we decline to help those that God has asked us to help. Following the notes in Toni Merida's book Ruth for You published by the good book company, she asks us all to consider the reasons we do not help the poor. 
Looking into the anonymous redeemer in this chapter of Ruth we see motives and we see mission both in "Mr So and So" ,as he is dubbed, and Boaz.

Join Susan Downie your host as she unpacks the price of redemption,  looking at the method employed by Ruth, under  Naomi's  instructions  to ask for Boaz to be her Kinsman Redeemer.
