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 to…
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 4…
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 our…
When you read about the life of Jesus, it seems so common, so monotonous, banal even and it is easy to miss what he was showing us. This week I spent a few times in the book of John, the miracles Jesus did and how he spoke were so simple and plain yet commanded so…
I have been camping in the book of Romans for quite some time now and the first eleven chapters of the book focus on foundational doctrines on who we are before Christ, who we become in Christ, how the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross changes everything for a believer, the tension that exists between…
I have been reading the book of Romans and in this book, a topic that comes often is the topic of salvation. In the book, Paul goes at length to expound on who we are before God, how we are saved, what happens to us when we are saved and how we should live once…
In his second letter to the church of Corinth, Paul tells us that we do not wage war according to the flesh even though we walk in the flesh (2 Corinthians 10:3). What exactly did Paul mean by that and what war does he refer to? Are Christians in a war? The Bible tells us…
Just mentioning the subject of the glory of God, I feel an inadequacy and humility as I know it not to be a simple matter. I have often heard pastors and worship leaders, mostly in the charismatic stream refer to the glory of God as a powerful “weighty” force if there is a way to…
The more I read the word of God, the more it is evident that our ways are not His ways. Far too often in biblical stories you see the gap between how people viewed a situation or themselves and how God viewed them or their situation, the results are always drastically different. When we are…
In addition to studying the word of God daily, a spiritual discipline I started incorporating in my habits is to read through the Bible in a year. This is me simply listening to the word of God without necessarily meditating or studying. It is a habit that forces me to be filled with the word.…
