More than a posture, it is a command from the LORD our God. As the creator of heaven and earth, He says “Be still and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” (Psalm 46:10). Although this is a well-known verse, it is nonetheless seldom obeyedContinue reading “Be Still”

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”
The Art of Lamenting
The second book of Jeremiah is called Lamentations. It is a book that relieves and cries at the state of Judah who went from being “the apple of the Lord’s eyes” to His enemies. In it, Jeremiah recalls the height from which Jerusalem has fallen down, he brings us closer into what being separated fromContinue reading “The Art of Lamenting”
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”
Working out your salvation
One of the qualities that are unique to God is that He does wonderful things, plans formed of old, faithful and sure (Isaiah 25:1). Indeed, He is the only God who announces what He will do before He does what He says He will do. Moreover, when what He announces comes to pass, it stillContinue reading “Working out your salvation”
Boasting in the Flesh
The way of the LORD is sure to make one pause and question oneself because it is often contrary, if not always to human logic or rationale. Many of the prophets in the Bible had to do things that were non sensical to our intelligent brains. Indeed, to the LORD, the wisdom of this worldContinue reading “Boasting in the Flesh”
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 mercy of God
As I conclude my time in the book of Daniel, I must say it has been a delight to study the book. Unlike other times when I have read it, this time among the many points I got from the book, the humility of Daniel and the matchless wisdom of God were by far theContinue reading “The mercy of God”
Strong Faith
The character of Daniel in the Bible has been a challenging one to read. There are so many facets about him that I find shake me in my faith. As much as I find him challenging, the truth is, I want to emulate him and be like him. One of those character traits is hisContinue reading “Strong Faith”
Eyes on the Prize
This week I was pondering upon Solomon’s life. I did not randomly start thinking about Solomon but as I read the ending of his life in 1 Kings 11 and 2 Chronicles, I could not help but wonder how he managed to fall so miserably. Since he was the wisest man the earth has everContinue reading “Eyes on the Prize”
