I used to read the Psalms of David thinking his language was hyperbolic and exaggeration but the more I grow in life the more I identify with his sayings. One of those hyperboles was David’s description of the wicked and how their actions affected him. I was often surprised that many of his Psalms wereContinue reading “Knowing your enemy”

When I am Afraid
One of the beauties of the Bible is that it does not seek to paint a perfect picture of life or that of its characters. What you are sure to get in the Bible is truth, always the truth even if it is at the expense of the children of God. In the book ofContinue reading “When I am Afraid”
Who Is Like You?
Throughout this week as I spent time with the LORD, the theme “who is like you” kept coming. I saw it in the Psalms I read, in the music I listened to, in other Bible passages I heard or even in discussions. It was certainly unique to have everything I ingest prompt me to askContinue reading “Who Is Like You?”
Being Ready
If there is an attitude followers of Christ are expected to have in the Bible it is that of anticipation for the return of Jesus, our Groom. We are exhorted to be ready, to prepare for his return and to get our things in order. However, the longer his return, the lesser our preparation andContinue reading “Being Ready”
Singing to the LORD
A week into the resurrection, and our world has already forgotten the magnificence of it all. When I say our world, I am referring to the Christian world. In the Church, many of the feasts we celebrate should remind us of the matchlessness of God, His might and His omnipotence. These should cause our heartsContinue reading “Singing to the LORD”
The Confidence of the Righteous
One of the beauties of reading the Psalms is that it gives you an idea of the character of the author. Many of the Psalms that I have read so far if not all have been written by King David and as such, I have had the privilege to know more about him through hisContinue reading “The Confidence of the Righteous”
Our sure inheritance
One of the highlights of my week was worshipping through an old French hymn that popped in my spirit. The hymn was very fitting as it reinforced what the LORD was reminding me of in this season of my life. You see, when you read the Psalms, they not only teach you about singing toContinue reading “Our sure inheritance”
Crying out to the LORD
Something that I have been learning through the Psalms this week is the idea of “crying out to the LORD” or “calling upon the name of the LORD”. This is something the psalmists did by default. It was what they reverted to irrespective of their circumstances and it is an example for us today toContinue reading “Crying out to the LORD”
The Salvation of the LORD
I am currently reading through the Psalms which is a collection of songs written primarily by king David followed by other writers. The Psalms are also a compilation of five books broken down as follows: Book 1 consisting of Psalms 1-41; Book 2 consisting of Psalms 42-72; Book 3 consisting of Psalms 73-89; Book 4Continue reading “The Salvation of the LORD”
Waiting “quietly”
There are too many references in the Bible about waiting on the LORD. I myself have written a lot on this particular topic. One reason I believe the Bible exhorts us extensively on the subject of waiting is because the life of the believer is comprised mainly of waiting. We are not unique in ourContinue reading “Waiting “quietly””
