Throughout the Bible, there are many stories that depict the character of God. At its core, the Bible is the story of a Husband who pursues His Bride which started with the people of Israel. This love story is what we would call “complicated” as the love is often one-sided and filled with disappointments forContinue reading “The heart of God”

God’s Unchanging Character
In my reading of Isaiah this week, I was struck by a verse that says, “You come to the help of those who do right, who remember your ways” (Isaiah 64:5). Another translation says, “you meet him who joyfully works righteousness, those who remember you in your ways” (ESV). This latter translation jumped out evenContinue reading “God’s Unchanging Character”
Who is Like God?
Humans are a very proud species. There is not a single human being that does not fall prey to this gangrene that is pride. Most of our actions, if not all are tainted with it. It shows itself in various ways, to the point that it can be hard to discern at first. For example,Continue reading “Who is Like God?”
Being Watchful
“The fool speaks folly, and his heart is busy with iniquity, to practice ungodliness, to utter error concerning the LORD, to leave the craving of the hungry unsatisfied, and to deprive the thirsty of drink” (Isaiah 32:6). What a horrifying description of a fool that is! Have you ever thought of a fool as someone whoContinue reading “Being Watchful”
True Worship
One of the Verse of the Day this week on the Bible App was “for he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name” (Luke 1:49). This verse puzzled me because in it you have two statements that do not usually follow each other, there is not even aContinue reading “True Worship”

How many of us can testify to the Lord’s amazing hand upon our lives? How many of us canContinue reading “The Grace of God”
Know the Lord
I have been following a chronological yearly Bible plan for my leisure reading and I have recently hit the book of Isaiah. It is a book packed with prophecies concerning the people of Israel, Zion, and Jerusalem. It is also a book where we get to see how the Lord speaks of His tender loveContinue reading “Know the Lord”
The Favour of God
At times, when you read the word of God you wonder “what in the world is going on?” We must admit that God’s words can often seem far fetch or simply not just make sense. This alone should humble us because we don’t understand God. His ways are not ours indeed. I am reminded ofContinue reading “The Favour of God”
The mercy of God
As I conclude my time in the book of Daniel, I must say it has been a delight to study the book. Unlike other times when I have read it, this time among the many points I got from the book, the humility of Daniel and the matchless wisdom of God were by far theContinue reading “The mercy of God”
Humility: the portion of the Christian
It has been a month since my last post. Life got busy and sadly, I was not able to set time aside to write nor was I in the capacity to do so. However, in all this busyness, I am thankful that the Lord was continually with me, He never left me and unlike me,Continue reading “Humility: the portion of the Christian”
