The bible tells us in many forms that God is high and exalted, that He is unchanging – the same yesterday, today and tomorrow, that His ways are not our ways, that He is powerful and more. It almost seems illogical to know the Lord or seek Him. Yet, that is precisely what we areContinue reading “Knowing God”

God’s loving judgement
The more you read the old testament, the more you realize the depth of God’s love and his patience. It seems God’s patience has its limits and that is shown in his judgement. But before judgement comes, God takes his sweet time because he does not delight in the death of the wicked; as aContinue reading “God’s loving judgement”
The wisdom of God
There is something incomprehensible with God; the closer you get to Him, the bigger He seems. The moment you think you are getting Him; the moment you realize He went over your head. I think I will always be amazed at what God Himself says about His ways and ours: “For my thoughts are notContinue reading “The wisdom of God”
Living by faith
If there is anything I have learned or am learning from reading the prophets (both minor and major) is that God is a repetitive God. In His kindness, He says the same message over and over again often with different words in the hope of wooing His people to Himself. His unrelenting spirit is mind-blowing,Continue reading “Living by faith”
On Being Chosen
Prophets in the bible have this in common, they were chosen by God. They might not have been the anointed one like Jesus, but they were all chosen. The life of prophets was not always bliss, it was often filled with hardships. Today, many don’t take the time to ponder hard about what it meansContinue reading “On Being Chosen”
Nine truths from the Word
This week’s post is a bit unusual as I could not simply write about one theme as I often do. I came across many truths as I was reading my bible and it became difficult to simply expand and write about one. So, I decided to give you an overview of the nine truths IContinue reading “Nine truths from the Word”
The time of favour and the day of salvation
I believe timing is everything in God’s agenda. Ecclesiastes tells us that there is a time for everything and a season for every activity under the earth (Ecclesiastes 3:1). Similarly, whenever God has acted throughout history, it was always at a specific time. He did not just happen to be there or act, everything forContinue reading “The time of favour and the day of salvation”
The Lord of hosts
The term “Lord of hosts” seem to have such a different meaning among scholars. I must admit, the rendition in English is confusing but in French, the connotation has to do with God being the one that battles for you, He is the “Lord of armies” literally speaking. Another connotation that name has is theContinue reading “The Lord of hosts”
The God who is True.
Truth has become a word that has lost its meaning in our society; It has been stripped of its true connotation. In today’s world, truth has taken the meaning of personal relativity: “what is true for you is true for you”. Which means that anything can be true if you want it to be true,Continue reading “The God who is True.”
The God who pleads.
In today’s society, a leader should not be begging; in fact, a begging leader is a weak leader. This mentality does not only apply to those in leadership positions but to all people in horizontal relationships. To beg, to plead, to supplicate are not good action verbs; people do not like to do any ofContinue reading “The God who pleads.”
