Proud or Lowly – How do you React?

Proverbs 11:2-3—”Considering how safe, and quiet, and easy the humble are, we see that with the lowly is wisdom. An honest man’s principles are fixed, therefore his way is plain.” Pride is defined as a feeling of deep pleasure or satisfaction derived from one’s achievements, associations, or from qualities or possessions that are widely admired. […]

What is important? Who is important in your life?

Proverbs 23:4 – “Do not toil to acquire wealth; be discerning enough to desist.” When our ears hear the alarm chimes that announce the start of another day, we need to say a ‘thank you’ to God before we open our eyes. Instead, most often, we resort to grabbing our mobiles/newspapers to check messages, posts, […]

Pay attention and Keep the faith

So we must listen very carefully to the truth we have heard, or we may drift away from it. -Hebrews 2:1 For all us Believers: new believers, seasoned believers, born believers and any other kind; we all go through many phases in our relationship with Christ much like our relationships with others. At first, we […]

Alert and whole body listening

“Your own ears will hear him. Right behind you a voice will say, ‘This is the way you should go,’ whether to the right or to the left.”—Isaiah 30:21 When we pray, or sit in our quiet time with God, it is not a monologue but God also speaks to us. God may speak to […]

Pray it forward

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18—”Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” We have all read of stories with the moral of ‘pay it forward’. It happens when does another a good deed, or a good turn, and then when the person who […]

Rooted in Christ

Colossians 2:7:  Rooted and built up in him and stablished in the faith as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. Our roots are in Christ Jesus and our lives have to be built up in Him being established in faith.  Thanksgiving should abound in us more than anything else.  We have to learn […]

Love your enemies

Luke 6:27:  But I say unto you which hear, love your enemies, do good to them which hate you. Loving our enemies? Is it not a hard thing that Jesus taught us to do?  How can we do good to those who hate us?  It is not to easy as it sounds to our ears. […]

Once sinners, now righteous

Mark 5:32:  I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Jesus came to save the world which was filled with sinners.  Nobody is righteous before Him.  If the world was righteous as some think, then there would not have been any reason or purpose for Jesus to come and die for our […]

See people in love

Luke 6:41:  And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye? We are so quick to judge people right? We feel way too superior to others in acts and deeds and we feel also that we are the most perfect beings […]

Do not miss your reward

Mark 9:41:  For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name because ye belong to Christ verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward. We have to learn to honour God’s servants with the best that we can.  Even a cup of water given to a servant […]
