As I read the book of Proverbs, I find it odd the contrast of words that are put together. Often times I wonder if the writer did not mean a different set of words or if he made a mistake. But, as we know, nothing is a mistake in the word of God and ifContinue reading “Laziness and Poverty”

Wisdom from the Proverbs
The book of Proverbs is part of what is called “wisdom literature” of the bible which is composed of the books of Psalms, Job, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Solomon. Together, these books provide wisdom for living well this life. As Proverbs 1 says it exists “for attaining wisdom and discipline; for understanding words of insight;Continue reading “Wisdom from the Proverbs”
Being A Seeker
The older I get, the more I realize how everything that is worthwhile in life must be attained through patience, sacrifice, pain and endurance. What comes easily proves itself to be more ephemeral, it does not stand the test of time and only provides a quick enjoyment. I suppose this is the way God wantedContinue reading “Being A Seeker”
Give thanks to the Lord
There is so much we can give thanks for to the Lord. I believe, “Give thanks to the Lord” (Psalm 107:1) is one of the easiest commands that exist because we have reasons to give thanks. For a people who love to be given explanations for what we are being told to do, this shouldContinue reading “Give thanks to the Lord”
Victory in Christ
The Christian life is filled with paradoxes. Consider the following statements from various biblical passages: “when I am weak, then I am strong” (2 Corinthians 12:10). “We live by faith, not by sight” (2 Corinthians 5:7). “Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds” (James 1:2). The list can goContinue reading “Victory in Christ”
Reset, starting off right.
It seems fitting to be writing on the subject of resetting at the beginning of the year. To reset, means to start over. When you start over, you are given a clean slate, your previous achievements and or failures are tossed aside, they do not count anymore. As Christians, we have a good Father whoContinue reading “Reset, starting off right.”
Reflections on 2022
Here we are at the eve of a new year. The year 2022 has come and gone as well like previous years. Many things have happened around the world, we have had to still juggle with the continued effects of Covid-19, added to it instability in many nations and a war. This was a yearContinue reading “Reflections on 2022”
Praising God
One of the beauties of the Psalms is that it exhorts us to praise God, not only that, the Psalms draw our hearts to praising God. Through the Psalms, we get to see real examples, life cases of the psalmist going through difficulties like us; we get to see real emotions, identify with them andContinue reading “Praising God”
The Lord is on your side
Much of what I read in the word this week seemed to focus on having the Lord on your side, on having the Lord as your fortress and on having the Lord as a sure help in times of trouble. The word of God is a well of knowledge which provides understanding to the simple.Continue reading “The Lord is on your side”
The struggle of living between two kingdoms
The more I get deeper in life with Christ, the more I understand the gap that exists between the kingdom of light and the kingdom of darkness. This gap creates a tension that Paul explains well in the book of Romans saying that there are two laws at work in the life of the believerContinue reading “The struggle of living between two kingdoms”
