Something that I have been learning through the Psalms this week is the idea of “crying out to the LORD” or “calling upon the name of the LORD”. This is something the psalmists did by default. It was what they reverted to irrespective of their circumstances and it is an example for us today toContinue reading “Crying out 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”
Love in the Bible
I have been camping in the book of Romans for quite some time now and the first eleven chapters of the book focus on foundational doctrines on who we are before Christ, who we become in Christ, how the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross changes everything for a believer, the tension that exists betweenContinue reading “Love in the Bible”
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”
Waging War
In his second letter to the church of Corinth, Paul tells us that we do not wage war according to the flesh even though we walk in the flesh (2 Corinthians 10:3). What exactly did Paul mean by that and what war does he refer to? Are Christians in a war? The Bible tells usContinue reading “Waging War”
Seeing as we are seen
The more I read the word of God, the more it is evident that our ways are not His ways. Far too often in biblical stories you see the gap between how people viewed a situation or themselves and how God viewed them or their situation, the results are always drastically different. When we areContinue reading “Seeing as we are seen”
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”
