It’s amazing how much can change in the span of a week! As a matter of fact, in a single day, much can happen. I think of the weather that can switch suddenly without warning going from rainy to hot or from dark to sunny. Similarly, you can start a day happy and end itContinue reading “Being Steady in Faith”

Dwelling in the Almighty
The word of God is so simple yet so difficult at the same time! The principles that are found in the Bible are straightforward but often when one starts to put them in practice, one finds that they are easier said than done. What the LORD usually requires of His people is so plain toContinue reading “Dwelling in the Almighty”
The nature of God
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”
Leaving a good legacy
The Psalms do not cease to amaze me. I seem to be on a discovery with each psalm I read. There are so many different types of psalms, one for each season of life (highs and lows, good and bad etc.) it appears. Last week at church, my pastor preached on a psalm of lament,Continue reading “Leaving a good legacy”
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”
Knowing your enemy
I used to read the Psalms of David thinking his language was hyperbolic and exaggeration but the more I grow in life the more I identify with his sayings. One of those hyperboles was David’s description of the wicked and how their actions affected him. I was often surprised that many of his Psalms wereContinue reading “Knowing your enemy”
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?”
Being Ready
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 andContinue reading “Being Ready”
Singing to the LORD
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 heartsContinue reading “Singing to the LORD”
A Word Aptly Spoken
