May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer. Psalm 19:14 To feel the weight of David’s plea in this single verse, one must review Psalm 19 altogether. It began with a focus on the glory of God which everything created in heaven and earth […]

“The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah, and he will reign for ever and ever.” Rev. 11:15b Gen. 1:1, John 1:3 and Col. 1:16 confirm that God, through Jesus Christ created the world and everything in it – the angels, Satan, demons, human beings, etc. Every creature does God’s will – yes, even Satan. At creation, God […]

I know that you can do all things; no plan of yours can be thwarted. Job 42:2 God is transcendent and beyond knowledge. All that a human being can know about God is so infinitesimal that it amounts to almost nothing. Even this miniscule knowledge is only possible as God reveals Himself to us. Many claim to know God, Christians, […]

That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. Rom. 10:9-10 What is Paul saying here when he declared […]

When a period of feasting had run its course, Job would make arrangements for them to be purified. Early in the morning he would sacrifice a burnt offering for each of them, thinking, “Perhaps my children have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.” This was Job’s regular custom. Job 1:5 With a record number of youth and young adults leaving […]

Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a hear to of wisdom. Ps. 90:12 Christmas marked the entrance of Jesus Christ into our world which we celebrated a few days ago. Easter and ascension marked the exit of Jesus Christ from our world and return to the Father. Sandwiched between these two periods is the brief […]

And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn. Luke 2:7 Pride is a grievous and deadly sin and from Biblical records, it was the first sin committed. Lucifer started us off on that path, Adam and Eve followed and […]

Christmas is a good time to reflect on God’s love for lost humanity. Jesus came to us, lived with us, befriended, and sacrificially offered himself to die on our behalf. Yet not many responded to His love. To befriend and impact someone other than yourself could take a long time as we experienced with Ms. C, a neighbor in the […]

Mordecai the Jew was second in rank to king Xerxes, preeminent among the Jews, and held in high esteem by his many fellow Jews, because he worked for the good of his people and spoke up for the welfare of all the Jews. Esther 10:3 Perhaps you are like me. I often wish I had a powerful position and influence […]

Because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. Rom. 8:14 Although all human beings were created by God, only a handful are His sons and daughters.
