Luke 5:5b “But because you say so, I will let down the nets.” I have often used a variation of this on my son when he was younger. He has a penchant for tireless explanations to try and get out of things I ask him to do and in doing so he would wear out... Continue Reading →
1 Peter 1:13 “Therefore prepare your minds for action: be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed.” I was reading 1 Peter 1 in my daily reading and was really struck by this verse especially the first part that said ‘Therefore prepare your minds for...

Psalm 27:4 “One thing I ask from the Lord, and that I will seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. To gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek Him in His temple.” This Psalm was written by David, a man after God’s... Continue Reading →
2 Kings 5: 2-3 “Now bands from Aram had gone out and taken captive a young girl from Israel, and she served Naaman’s wife. She said to her mistress, if only my master would see the prophet who is in Samaria! He would cure him of his leprosy.” Naaman was a commander of the army... Continue Reading →

At the beginning of the chapter we read that Elijah brings word about the drought on the land - divine judgement on the nation for turning to idolatry. God then withdraws Elijah from the land and tells him... Continue Reading →
1 Samuel 23:4 “Once again David inquired of the Lord, and the Lord answered him.”David was known as a man after God’s own heart (1 Samuel 13:14, Acts 13:22). As I continue to read through the book of Samuel, it is impossible not to notice a characteristic trait of David’s relationship with God. Multiple times... Continue Reading →
I have been reading the book of 1 Samuel. King Saul was jealous of David and wanted to kill him. David flourished in all that he did, the Lord’s favour was upon him. The latter half of this book details David fleeing from King Saul, David and his men hiding out moving from place to... Continue Reading →
More often than not, we are inundated with all the wrong and misery happening in the world. How much ever we filter what we watch, we cannot deny the ever-present awareness of the state of crumbling humanity when it functions outside of God. It is at these times more than ever I need to be... Continue Reading →
