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”
The Sabbath, a Day of rest
We often declare “God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow” without really thinking about the implications of such a statement. Often times, when that statement is made, it is as a way to encourage the hearer that what God did in the past, He is still capable of doing today. Most of us believersContinue reading “The Sabbath, a Day of rest”
Fear is not your portion
As the title of this blog post suggests: “Fear is not your portion” if you are in Christ. Indeed, as a believer in the LORDJesus, there is no such thing as fear because our saviour and LORD has defeated any enemy we could have. He defeated sickness, defeated pain and suffering, defeated anxiety, defeated poverty, defeated fear andContinue reading “Fear is not your portion”
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?”
Still Standing
If there is something that I take comfort in in the Christian life, it is that Christians are never completely down. We are never out of the picture, the enemy may think he has finished us, but we always get back up. I have the image of a boxing match where we are fighting withContinue reading “Still Standing”
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”
The Grace of God
The words of the hymn “He will hold me fast” hold so much truth. Indeed, they bear witness to the truth of God’s character, that is, His faithfulness and trustworthiness as we see in our lives. 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”
On loving the Lord with our heart, soul and strength
The commandment of the Lord to the people of Israel spoken through Moses to love Him with all their hearts, souls and strength was given straight after this premise: “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one” (Deuteronomy 6:4). Before hearing and obeying any commandment from the LORD, it is important toContinue reading “On loving the Lord with our heart, soul and strength”
