God is sovereign. You knew that. His sovereignty allows Him to be in control of everything. He is also omniscient which means He knows everything, the beginning from the end. These two attributes alone allow God to never be taken by surprise. On top of that, God is omnipotent. He has the power to doContinue reading “Lessons from the Judean remnant”

God the Rewarder
When it comes to loving the Lord, in the bible, king David is my model. I do not know anyone else that had such a deep love for the Father as David had. No wonder he was called a man after God’s own heart. What always impressed me with David is how unsatisfied he wouldContinue reading “God the Rewarder”
The discipline of the word
There are many spiritual disciplines that we know are good for us Christians yet we suck at. Prayer is one of them. In all honesty, when I see how we treat prayers I am not surprised at how our lives turn out to be. But, my post today is not about prayer, I will leaveContinue reading “The discipline of the word”
A call to die to self
As we get closer to the Easter celebration or Resurrection Sunday as some call it, I am reminded of the amazing sacrifice Jesus displayed on the cross and cannot help but think of his own call to us to follow him. Every time we have communion as believers, we remember what Christ did on theContinue reading “A call to die to self”
More on the love of God
The love of God is a vast topic and it can be discussed endlessly. There is always more to learn and know about it. In fact, the more you learn about it, the more you realise you do not understand. Paul in the book of Ephesians tells us that it is high, wide, deep, long;Continue reading “More on the love of God”
Why we miss the salvation of the Lord
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 calls out
In the book of Proverbs, there is a common contrast that is done between wisdom and folly. Wisdom, spelled with capital W is God and we are to seek such wisdom. Wisdom gives us life, it gives us riches, it gives us joy (Proverbs 3:14-24, 8:18-19). Moreover, Wisdom gives us understanding and discernment which areContinue reading “Wisdom calls out”
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”
