Cast Your Bread

When I was younger and read Ecclesiastes 11:1 for the first time, I didn’t understand it. I had no spiritual background or insight into the verse, so many times I bypassed it. As I grew and learned I began to understand differently, and a lot of things became clearer to me. My husband called me from work one day, extremely upset, saying that he’s going to leave his job because he has had it.…

When God Speaks

Sometimes we wait for tangible workings in our lives to believe that God has said something to us. Maybe we want a physical presence to confirm that He is really speaking. Or we want someone to walk up to us and say, “Jehovah told me”. This is not always the case. Elijah, in the book of 1 Kings 19, experienced fire, earthquake and strong winds, before he heard “a still small voice” that was…

People's Perspective

People’s perspective of you is simply that – their perspective. It doesn’t make you who you are nor does it determine how you turn out to be in life. People will always think their way is the best way, regardless of how you feel about a situation. The sad thing is, they try to make you agree with them thus changing your own perspective of yourself. In life, I’ve come to understand that what I…

Today's Encouragement

This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24. I know right now a lot of us may be in panic mode because of the economy around us. Scared, worried, insecure, are some of the terms I would use to describe people’s feelings. We are almost unsure of what is going to happen next or what will happen by next week, but guys one thing remains – Christ is still on…

Reflections

I have been confronted with situations where I chose to be good and that bit me in the butt soon after. Other times I felt that there was lots more I should have said and given the opportunity I would have said or acted differently. Situations tend to bring out the good and bad in people and only after handling these, we realize what could have been done instead. The Bible reminds us to “be…

Why Go Back?

There was a time when I felt I wanted to do some things over. I wanted to go back to the time I knew I stopped taking things in my life seriously and start again from there. During these times, I just lived for myself. I even neglected my relationship with God, by not spending as much time with Him as I knew I should. I didn’t care about people’s feelings and began putting myself first. Even my…

Your Dreams

Had this dream that has revealed something to me that I wanted to share. It was a weird dream, but when I woke abruptly from it, I think I figured out its meaning. For years, off and on, I’ve been having dreams about a house I do not presently reside in. It is a three-story house that I somehow owned, but only the first floor was liveable. It was a very beautiful house. The front porch was…

Emotions

I heard a story of a young man who broke down during working hours because of something his colleague said. The young man was working quietly and this colleague came to correct a mistake he had made. However, in his “correcting” the colleague made a joking remark that sort of touched a nerve in the worker and he suddenly blurted out angry explicits, then finally burst into tears. Surprised, the…

Psalm 91

Many times I’ve read the beautiful passage of Psalm 91 and felt so protected by the words of my Lord. I’ve learned every line, every verse and I’ve studied this Psalm for such a long time, that I feel connected to it. I pray it over my life and the lives of my family all the time. What I’ve also found, is there’s a lot more within the context of the Psalm that we as Christians sometimes bypass,…

Storms

In our lives, we encounter different types of situations that may be classified as storms. Not because of the physical attributes it produces but because of the emotional reaction associated with the situation. A biblical story about a storm comes to mind from the book of Mark 4:35-41. Jesus and his disciples were out on a boat when suddenly a storm arose. It was so terrifying that the disciples…

Favor

Isaiah 58:11 – “The LORD will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.” There was a time in my life when I felt I was dealt a wrong card. It seemed as if nothing worked, regardless of how hard I tried. I felt helpless, destitute, had a low confidence and…

Don't

Don’t

Don’t be the one who sits and gossips about the woman stepping into your church for the first time, just because she isn’t dressed in her Sunday best.Don’t be the one who spreads rumors about the man whom you’ve just shook hands with, because someone said something about him to you.Don’t be the one who slanders the teenager for having unprotected sex with his girlfriend, because his mom confided…

What Are You Waiting For

What Are You Waiting For

I have found that the things I really want to do, I don’t. Not because I can’t, but because either I don’t make the time to do it or I make excuses why I can’t. It’s always been within my power to do them. I believe God has enabled all of us to do almost anything we want. Here’s one great reason: Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” As long as we have set our…

We may not receive the same amount of love and attention from our friends and family as we did the previous day or the next, but we can still be grateful to have received it.Today, let us give thanks to the God above who is everlasting, all-knowing and all loving. Give Him thanks for the breath we breathe,…
