This morning, I was reading the Verse of the Day from the YouVersion Bible app which was taken from Isaiah, and it said “…learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow’s cause.” (Isaiah 1:17). This is the desire of God for the world He created, He wantsContinue reading “The nature of God”

A call to tenacity
As I spend time reading the Psalms, I am quite struck by the fact that the psalmist knowingly or unknowingly teaches a fundamental lesson about not giving up: being tenacious. How do I see that, you ask? Simply from the repetition of the songs and the themes that they express. It is as though theContinue reading “A call to tenacity”
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?”
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”
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””
Walking in Power
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 soContinue reading “Walking in Power”
The Glory of God
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 toContinue reading “The Glory of God”
A Word Aptly Spoken
