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 of…
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 ask…
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 and…
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 hearts…
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 his…

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…
