As I close my time in Psalm 119, there have been a few themes that have come up as the psalmist wraps up his tribute to the word of God. These themes include steadfastness in our devotion to God’s law or steadfastness in keeping the faith and not neglecting to call on the LORD inContinue reading “Holding Fast until the End”

The Weapon of the word
The word of God is called the sword of the Spirit (Ephesians 6:17). Among the weapons available to the Christian, it is the only offensive one, the one we use to attack our adversary. As I have been reading in Psalm 119, there is much more to the word of God. For example, “pondering onContinue reading “The Weapon of the word”
The Benefits of the Word
Throughout the Bible, we are told that God’s word is good for our souls. It brings us life, it revives us, it blesses us, it purifies us, in other words, it is vital for the Christian. We ought to give ourselves to it. Many Psalms tell us that the one who obeys or walks accordingContinue reading “The Benefits of the Word”
Being Steady in Faith
It’s amazing how much can change in the span of a week! As a matter of fact, in a single day, much can happen. I think of the weather that can switch suddenly without warning going from rainy to hot or from dark to sunny. Similarly, you can start a day happy and end itContinue reading “Being Steady in Faith”
Goodness and Mercy
As I am writing this post, my heart is full of gratitude. The verse “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life” (Psalm 23:6) is on my mind and heart. This is the LORD’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes (Psalm 118:23). The goodness of God is somethingContinue reading “Goodness and Mercy”
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”
The nature of God
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”
