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”

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.”
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”
Be Strong and Courageous
The bible is extremely clear on the fact that the sinful nature – the flesh is in direct opposition to the spirit. When Christ gave his life on the cross for us, he also redeemed us and gave us new life in him; this new life gave us a new identity and a new purpose.Continue reading “Be Strong and Courageous”
The heart of worship
The story of Israel is such a good depiction of our redemption story, isn’t it? Often times, when we read about Israel’s rebellion we wonder how a nation as unworthy as they were could be the recipient of God’s grace and favour? But a close look at our own lives enables us to see thatContinue reading “The heart of worship”

For some, it is no longer necessary because Christ has imputed his righteousness on us therefore before God we are righteous and not in needContinue reading “The mercy of God”
The legacy of Man
Among all the kings Israel had, David was the reference, the one to look to. His reference was unlike any other because he followed the Lord his God in everything. In Israel, if it was told of you that you followed in the steps of David your forefather, then you knew you did well. InContinue reading “The legacy of Man”
Unquestionable Obedience
Throughout the bible there is a common theme about God which is: He is unchanging. You see that in His various commandments and in His dealings with men. What God says always comes to pass, what He requires is always the same. For a being that is unfathomable and impossible to grasp, He sure isContinue reading “Unquestionable Obedience”
Renewing our minds on love
It’s amazing how in the bible your love for God is not measured by the strength and depth of the feeling you have or the amount of time you spend thinking about the one you love but rather by your obedience to God’s words. Indeed, Jesus said “if you love me you will obey myContinue reading “Renewing our minds on love”
Knowing the heart of God
There are not many people in the bible that are known to be men after God’s own heart. Some are known to be devout, upright, full of the spirit and pleasing to God but not many, actually no one else can boast that title except for David. If you know a bit about David inContinue reading “Knowing the heart of God”
