You have heard it say many times that God’s ways are not our ways and that as far as the heavens are from the earth so are His thoughts from ours (Isaiah 55:8-9). However, even with such knowledge in the back of our minds, we still find ourselves dealing with God like He is ourContinue reading “Why we miss the salvation of the Lord”

Proverbs 31
I have been reading the book of Proverbs for the past month and it has now come to an end. As I finish reading this book, I cannot help but say a few words on the last chapter of the book. I don’t know much about the history of the compilation of the book ofContinue reading “Proverbs 31”
Laziness and Poverty
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”
