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”
A call to tenacity
As I spend time reading the Psalms, I am quite struck by the fact that the psalmist knowingly or unknowingly teaches a fundamental lesson about not giving up: being tenacious. How do I see that, you ask? Simply from the repetition of the songs and the themes that they express. It is as though theContinue reading “A call to tenacity”
When I am Afraid
One of the beauties of the Bible is that it does not seek to paint a perfect picture of life or that of its characters. What you are sure to get in the Bible is truth, always the truth even if it is at the expense of the children of God. In the book ofContinue reading “When I am Afraid”
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?”
Being Ready
If there is an attitude followers of Christ are expected to have in the Bible it is that of anticipation for the return of Jesus, our Groom. We are exhorted to be ready, to prepare for his return and to get our things in order. However, the longer his return, the lesser our preparation andContinue reading “Being Ready”
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”
Our sure inheritance
One of the highlights of my week was worshipping through an old French hymn that popped in my spirit. The hymn was very fitting as it reinforced what the LORD was reminding me of in this season of my life. You see, when you read the Psalms, they not only teach you about singing toContinue reading “Our sure inheritance”
Crying out to the LORD
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”
