This morning, I was reading the Verse of the Day from the YouVersion Bible app which was taken from Isaiah, and it said “…learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow’s cause.” (Isaiah 1:17). This is the desire of God for the world He created, He wantsContinue reading “The nature of God”

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”
Who Is Like You?
Throughout this week as I spent time with the LORD, the theme “who is like you” kept coming. I saw it in the Psalms I read, in the music I listened to, in other Bible passages I heard or even in discussions. It was certainly unique to have everything I ingest prompt me to askContinue reading “Who Is Like You?”
Singing to the LORD
A week into the resurrection, and our world has already forgotten the magnificence of it all. When I say our world, I am referring to the Christian world. In the Church, many of the feasts we celebrate should remind us of the matchlessness of God, His might and His omnipotence. These should cause our heartsContinue reading “Singing to the LORD”
The Salvation of the LORD
I am currently reading through the Psalms which is a collection of songs written primarily by king David followed by other writers. The Psalms are also a compilation of five books broken down as follows: Book 1 consisting of Psalms 1-41; Book 2 consisting of Psalms 42-72; Book 3 consisting of Psalms 73-89; Book 4Continue reading “The Salvation of the LORD”
Walking in Power
When you read about the life of Jesus, it seems so common, so monotonous, banal even and it is easy to miss what he was showing us. This week I spent a few times in the book of John, the miracles Jesus did and how he spoke were so simple and plain yet commanded soContinue reading “Walking in Power”
The Glory of God
Just mentioning the subject of the glory of God, I feel an inadequacy and humility as I know it not to be a simple matter. I have often heard pastors and worship leaders, mostly in the charismatic stream refer to the glory of God as a powerful “weighty” force if there is a way toContinue reading “The Glory of God”
The Blessing of Hospitality
In addition to studying the word of God daily, a spiritual discipline I started incorporating in my habits is to read through the Bible in a year. This is me simply listening to the word of God without necessarily meditating or studying. It is a habit that forces me to be filled with the word.Continue reading “The Blessing of Hospitality”
Know the LORD is LORD
Throughout the Bible and specifically in the prophetic books including the Psalms, there is a statement from the LORD that is repeated several times: “Then you will know that I am the LORD” (Ezekiel 25:7), or “They will know that I am the LORD…” (Ezekiel 25:17). The book of Ezekiel certainly did not escape thisContinue reading “Know the LORD is LORD”
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”
A Word Aptly Spoken
