This week I started reading the book of Proverbs and I have taken it slowly, meditating just on the first chapter. I am learning to spend time in the word to know the Word as opposed to spending time in the word to reach a specific goal or to mark a task as “complete”. InContinue reading “The way of Wisdom”

Dwelling in the Almighty
The word of God is so simple yet so difficult at the same time! The principles that are found in the Bible are straightforward but often when one starts to put them in practice, one finds that they are easier said than done. What the LORD usually requires of His people is so plain toContinue reading “Dwelling in the Almighty”
Leaving a good legacy
The Psalms do not cease to amaze me. I seem to be on a discovery with each psalm I read. There are so many different types of psalms, one for each season of life (highs and lows, good and bad etc.) it appears. Last week at church, my pastor preached on a psalm of lament,Continue reading “Leaving a good legacy”
The Confidence of the Righteous
One of the beauties of reading the Psalms is that it gives you an idea of the character of the author. Many of the Psalms that I have read so far if not all have been written by King David and as such, I have had the privilege to know more about him through hisContinue reading “The Confidence of the Righteous”
The law of sin vs the law of God
I have been reading the book of Romans and in this book, a topic that comes often is the topic of salvation. In the book, Paul goes at length to expound on who we are before God, how we are saved, what happens to us when we are saved and how we should live onceContinue reading “The law of sin vs the law of God”
Into the New
As I was reflecting on the past year, I thought of the unchanging character of God. Every year, He remains the same. He does not change; He requires the same level of commitment as He had the first time He saved us and made us His own. We on the other hand are ever changingContinue reading “Into the New”
Thankfulness
I had the privilege this week of celebrating my birthday with my church family through singing and dancing. I had so much joy doing that and felt the sweet loving presence of my Father with me. The sweet aroma of Christ was being spread to all who partook in that singing and this is somethingContinue reading “Thankfulness”
In Ending Jeremiah
The book of Jeremiah ends with a succession of judgement prophecies on Israel’s enemies’ nations (see chapters forty-six through fifty-one). The LORD in His justice will not let the guilty go unpunished nor the sins of the guilty unaccounted for. In enacting His judgement, the LORD started first with His people and then moved toContinue reading “In Ending Jeremiah”
Keep Going
The Bible is a book of repetition. The same message is vehiculated in different ways all with the hope that it will sit in our hearts and produce fruit. I often wonder how slow we can be for God to repeat the same thing over and over and over again. The irony in all thisContinue reading “Keep Going”
The heart of God
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”
